Getting ready to install 6" lift on an 04 2500 any tips or secrets you guys have I need it Thanks.

 

no tips. just dig in and git r dun. not hard to do at all. another hand helps a lot though

 

It already has a 3' body lift hope that does not cause me a problem.Was reading directions not sure how to measure front drive line angle.They were talking about adjusting pinion angle.

 

bodylift will not affect how the suspension lift will be installed. i am taking my bodylift off and going with a custom 9" suspension. you will be fine with driveshaft angles. bodylift does not do anything to the shaft angles and a 6" will be ok. the rear blocks are tapered to help cure rear shaft angle, plus you will be shimming carrier bearing

 

Thanks,kit says seven hours that means two days and case of beer. Hope the death wobble does not start now with 35' nittos.

 

If the truck has never seen a Midwest winter than it should be pretty straight forward. Since I am sure that the truck has seen some salty winters in Ohio be prepared fro some seriuosly stuck hardware. I would start off by soaking everything with PB Blaster or Kroil a few days ahead of time. I would also suggest getting new cam bolts from the dealer for the lower control arms as you may have to cut them out. The passenger upper control arm bot at the frame cannot be removed without dropping the downpipe. I usually remove the outer nut and push the bolt in a few inches and the cut the head off and pull it back out of the frame. Then put a new bolt in from the outside and put the nut on the inside. You will want to pull about 3-4 thick washers under the nut or it will end up sucking into the frame recess too far to get a wrench on it.

 

very bad idea. that bolt was installed that way for a reason. last long arm kit I did, the dealer did that trick and it was VERY loose. you can't get in there enough to get it tight correctly! if you are going to do it right, do it right.
