body lift

[Yoda_Man]

my buddy has a 99 fontier 4x4 extra cab with a 5-spd has anyone put a body lift on one is it hard? easy? expensive? or should i just talk him into a supspension lift

Usually like most body lifts, it's just more labor intensive than doing a suspension lift - or I should say, more things to do and watch for. It's not hard to do.

It's quite a bit cheaper than a suspension lift.

ya considering the truck is gonna see more pavement than dirt it makes more sense to me
do you know if there will be any steering or shifting problems?

I'm not sure with the Frontiers, but with the older style Pathys, you would have to:

1. Lengthen or bend the 4Wd shifter.
2. The kit comes with a lengthened steering shaft adapter, but everyone just taps out the original shaft 1/4"
3. Power steering resevoir needs to be lowered (just re-drill new holes lower on the inner fender)
4. Kit comes with Gas filler extension tubes.

These are for the 3" body lift. For the 2" you don't have to do any of the above except to lengthen or bend the 4wd shifter.

Steering will be fine. It doesn't get touched.

If you have more questions, take a peek at www.4x4parts.com and visit the Frontier forum for more Frontier specific body lift questions.
