Dave/Bernd/Whomever,
So using the 2" body lift kit doesnt require using steering column
extensions? I wonder if the TrailMaster 3" body lift kit for $70 would have
anything different in the kit compared the to PA 2" Body lift kit for $70.
Hey wait, I have the instructions for the 3" TM lift kit!! Here is what they
list in the instructions for the 3" Body Lift Kit:
*1-7/16" x 3 3/4" Tube-Auto Trans Linkage
*1-Transfer Case Shifter Extension
*1-Steering Shaft Adapter
*14-Body Blocks
*1-Tie Wrap
*8-38412 CHHC Bed Bolts
*6-12MM x 160MM CHHC Cab Bolts
*8-Bed Bolt Cup Washers
*12-Washers
*2-Bed Supports
*1-Transfer Case Shifter Boot
*1-Box(duh!)
I know there is enough hose on the gas filler neck, so thats no biggie. For
the front bumper, these instructions just have directions as well as a
template for drilling new holes and relocating the front bumper, so maybe no
brackets are needed for the front bumper in this TM Kit. Thye do say "Front
frame horn may require trimming." Which I am sure it will need! Hmmm, I
just dont really care for a 3" Body lift, as I would rather have a 2" at the
most. Anyone know what the parts list is for the PA 2" Body lift? Thanks,
Kyle
