anyone running a 3" body lift on 5 speed truck?

I got my 2" bL off of Amazon... I only used the pucks and bolts from the kit... easy stuff and looks great on 33's. I am cranked just a little too.

even cranked with a 2'' bl i crunch the fenders with 33x12.5 on 9.75 wheels with 4.5 bs, when i beat on it.

I ran a 3" body lift on my old 5 speed Silverado. I personally found the shifter location was more comfortable than stock.

I don't have a BL, but I do plan to cut my shifter down 2-3" for a better feel. I would agree with above ^^^ that the current shifter height feels like an ape hanger handlebar.

My shifter was cut and moved to a diff handle, then back to the orig. Reverse hits the cupholders right now.

It'll need to be cut, twisted, shortened and possibly bent towards driver. Custom short throw shift, hah. Thinking about a body lift, never thought how it would drop the shifter down. Might feel nice, I agree with ya shelby.. things way up in there and doesn't feel.. "natural"

i think i have decided ill hold out for a suspension lift, go big or go home right? lol

There are more things to mess with on the body lift, that i am worried will make the truck not feel right.

hey just wanted to update this, i did get a 3" body lift from summit, just got it in today and the truck feels very good and looks much better. I love the position of the shifter in every gear other than 2nd so i am going to have to change that.

WHats wrong with 2nd gear?

 

[ZZ-71]

its too close to the seat so its really awkward

Could you take a picture of it in 2nd gear and post it?

I'm thinking about doing the same exact thing as you and i'm nervous
