Re: Question on 4 wheel lift

Your two wheel drive may have a low hump, but you could cut that out and put the high hump in it very easily. Of course, if you are running a body lift you probably won't need a high hump cab anyway.

Re: Question on 4 wheel lift

I would avoid the body lift and go for add-a-leafs and zero rate leafs if you want a cheap lift.... too many things to modify and I think they are ugly... my 2 cents

You have to cut your fan shroud, modify firewall for steering column, brake lines, clutch linkage, bumper brackets....
