I been told by a Buncha local guys they had to cut some bracket off. Was just wondering if it was a big deal. Thanks for the reply
Awesome! Thanks it needs new exhaust anyways and I’ve got a roller frame so I think we’re good to go. Appreciate the infoActually, it IS a big deal.
My shop installs lifts, and I've been aligning them for over a decade.
The tail end of the front diff, and driveshaft yoke, interferes with the truck frame when lifted. About 2.5" of the frame is removed and capped. Then the lower control arm drop assembly has a new mounting tabs for the mount.
Without the old chunk of OE frame, you'll need to fabricate it from scratch, or the front diff will be wobbling around loose.
Next you'll need to repair the exhaust. Bank 1 pipe, just out of the manifold, needed to extended/looped around the lowered front driveshaft.
You'll need OE length shocks. You probably can leave the extended brake hoses (if equipped) or install new OE length ones.
Lastly, if you remove the lift components properly, you might be able to find some sucker to buy them. Like my shop did with my (yet uninstalled) 6" Rough Country lift... Paid $150, then the gas prices skyrocketed, so "in inventory" it will stay
