She's an 03 xe.. 3" ac sus lift. . Sway away tbars... so body lift is what I'm liking.. so a 2 in body lift won't cause me to need extended brake lines, just the steering and drive line? I see that it's just hitting the back of the front well, like tj is saying..
Can you see "through" the truck w a body lift, kinda like a pick up? Space between frame and body? Not a fan but they have liners I seen on 4x4..
Sounds like a b.l. is in the mix.. is it still possible to make a 65$ guy?
3" BL needs extended steering, 2" doesn't. Neither needed extended brake lines.
You do adjust the splines on the steering sector shaft...essentially, look at the steering column where the shaft comes through the firewall from the steering wheel...and notice the splined connector.
Before the BL, you back off the allen that holds that connector to the two splined shaft ends...so that they can slide.
After the BL, you re-tighten it....that's all you have to do.
You also tie the steering wheel to the oh shit grab handle next to it, so it doesn't re-clock the steering.
The 2" BL only slides the sector shaft out a fraction of an inch. Even for the 3" BL its not VITAL to add an extension...the total added length of the extension is also less than an inch...but most consider it good insurance.
The brake line's brackets etc, get loosened before the BL, and then re-tightened as well. To make slack, as you did for the 3" SL, typically, just mounting the brackets in more of a straight run makes plenty of slack in the lines.
Most brake line stuff is frame to suspension, and SL related, not body to frame/BL related...so we're only talking about a few spots.
If you have sliders, the gap doesn't really show, and for the wheel wells, Lift Lips, etc, cover the gap if you are concerned.
