thats why i said it would require effort on your part everything is list of what u need for the kc and cc all u have to do is count body mounts for the cab and bed thats the only diff between kc and cc is how many of for the bed and cab
my fault. I misread the numbers. mcmaster has the 160mm also.
hey man, would you be willing to machine me a set too? of course, ill pay parts and labor.
Hey bamer02,
I can only find 160mm in a 1.75 thread pitch, not the fine thread (1.25 pitch). If you can post that part# that would be great.
Let me get the UHMW first and see how how it cuts. I've got a triple chip blade that runs thru all our hard plastics like butter without melting.
penski,
You find any 10.6 class bolts in the m12?
I would feel better sitting on grade 8's for the mid and rear of cab if the oem bolts are 8.8s. From what I see, nobody makes the high strength bolts with fine thread which makes sense.
reids--> where are you from? i might be able to get some help with the bolts from a friend's dad who is a machinist. ill go ask if he can make some grade 8+++ bolts at 160mm long. only if i had not sold my lathe and other machines. crap.
i might stick with the 2" coz its been done (custom). if i go 3", i wont have a lot of leeway to customize and fab things up if anything goes wrong. i dont even know if i have to extend the steering column. i guess i can get some 180mm long bolts too. i just have to the friend's dad if he can come up with one.
I ordered the grey uhmw from mcmaster.com
1ft of 2.5" and 2ft of 2" so that I don't end up with a 1.875" lift.
That would suck! You know everyone here would want that last 1/8th.
I went to order the bolts from the link but they are closed until the 17th. I will head to Ace in the morning and see if they can special order.
I don't think having someone machine them is an option really. Short run manufacturing is expensive compared to mass production and I'm sure most of us are trying to do this as cheap as possible.
I checked a site I found 5 months ago that has individual PA lift blocks, all sizes, but they don't sell any bolts. Whats up with that?
Bamer, thanks for the offer on the bolts.
I'm way up north near Sac.
What I should have asked is; what is the max height you can lift without extending?
Will 2 1/2" require extending?
Is 3" the starting point for extensions or is anything over 2"?
If you hade to ball park it, how much extra money is involved in that extra inch? (from 2-3). Im asking because the 2 incher looks to much like a stocker and a 6 inch is clearly stateing OFFROAD, which i'm affaid will hurt my resale value.

So do a 2" body lift and a 2" leveling kit and you get 4" that are easy to take out if you ever want to sell it or trade it in. Both are easy as he11 (minus relocating the bumper if that's an issue for you) to do and undo.
Do the Gen II truck body bolts thread in or are they through bolts? Trying to figure out if you have to use the 1.25 pitch or if you can go with anything.
Well if I have a 2 inch suspension lift, then do any body lift, wouldn't that require all of the extensions of the brake lines, and every thing else? Or can you do 2 on one side and 2 on the other with out adding leanth to anything?
Generally with a body lift you just unhook the brake line from the fender so you don't rip it off or bend it during the lift. You can sometimes leave it that way or just move the fender mount lower, the guys who have done both can verify.
I've done 2 and 3 inch body lifts and never changed the lengths of brake lines, but they were much older trucks.
I am planning doing 2" body lift with the useful info found in this forum
I have a 2009 cc
