    Putting a BL on a Ranger

    Anyone got any helpful hints about installing Body lifts? This will be the first one i've done.

    Before you install the body lift, Spray pB Blaster at the bolts on the truck like 2 days before you do it. Do it both days though. Youll thank yourself later

    Got the lift on last night. Took us eight hours total. It was a PITA. We had to weld a socket to one of the bolts to get it off and cut another with the torch. Overall not to bad just time consuming. Oh yea took us an hour to relocate the brake bracket because the fuel line/filter was right behind the bracket so we couldn't just heat it and break it off. Truck looks much better though also got the tires put on it.

    Post up pics! Did you spray pB blaster on that one bolt before welding it to get it off? the bolts must have just been corroded and too old haha...
