    I did mine in under 6 by myself in the driveway. I never raised rear bumper, and already have E-fans, so that made it lot easier.

    Yup, Summit body lift just re-branded PA parts, but at a better price. Should be easy to do yourself just take your time and use a friend to help.

    I got my PA body lift off a buddies truck he was trading in. My parts off mine and onto his truck, and his parts off his and onto mine, took us just over 8 hours....

    Ive got some Jeep friends that swear by hockey pucks (yes hockey pucks ) and longer hardware for just a body lift. Ithink my cousin paid a total of less than $50

    What size wheel? 8'' wide with 35's is good to go, 10'' wide wheel is no good.

    Hockey pucks WORK...but stacking 3 on them/drilling is A PAIN. Plus it doesn't come with bumper brackets/steering extension...that's what you're really paying for.

    You can buy just the blocks for like $8 a piece, so would be about 100 for everything, but good luck turning/ fabbing up the bumpers.


    Hockey pucks are good for 2" lift OR stacking 1 ontop of 3" blocks

    i cleared 35's no problem with my skyjacker and/or superlifts on my 99 and 05. I bet its that design where they don't lower the torsion bars huh?
