Installed the body lift today, was all ok except the two blocks that go underneath the seats in the cab!! Tried for so long but just couldn't get the cab high enough to get the blocks onto the studs!

Any help would he awesome! I'm going crazy!

Also installing the biscuit on the steering shaft was such a pain in the ass!! Very fiddly haha

Yep I'll either just get a high lift or even try to jack from the back instead of side to side! I was getting so frustrated!!

Just annoying buying a high lift just for a body lift! Will give it another crack Monday and see how I go.

Yep I may start one soon

Side to side is easier then back to front.... Also try out the jack closer to the center it'll make it easy.... Took me and a mate a couple hours to do his

Ok may give it a crack tomorrow with a high lift, just very nervous about over stretching anything. Does the steering need to be undone before you jack it up? Or once the spacer is in can you just go for it?
