^^^ The wheel well liners completely hide the frame on Dodges. My '01, you couldn't really tell there was a body lift. It was an excellent kit and looked wonderful. The pic speaks for itself.

 

here is the rear without the gap guards. I did not install them on the front. It did not need them.



I think this is the only side shot i have without the sun shinin.


here is the front end torn apart installing the front half


rear shot

 

Sweet rig man. The fronts usually aren't too bad, it's the rear with that gap, kinda gets me, I don't know why. Another thing, your steps help hide the frame too, and if they are mounted up 3" to match the body lift, then thats a great way to hide everything. Your's is very well done and clean, an exception to what I've seen through out the years. Nicely done. But for me, on a straight axle truck, its all suspension lift.

Wish I had the pics of my 93 S10. It had a Rancho 3" suspension and PA 2" body lift. The front looked fine because of the factory rubber flaps that fit around the shock tower, but the rear always bothered me with the gap, no kits available to fill it either until I finally made my own. Both bumpers were relocated and I stripped the entire frame and painted it. I'll have to dig up the polaroids and see if I can scan them or something.

 

a friend of mines truck with a 6 inch superlift and 3 inch PA body. These are 38s.


here it is with 37s and a 2inch spacer up front.

 

Some nice rigs there guys. I think that guys that stack hockey pucks for spacers with low grade bolts holding them in cause a bad impression. I bet when those pile up it does look ugly. But I haven't heard of many guys running the PA kit that didn't like it, and problems seem rare.

 

I know this is an old post, but how exactly is the radiator shroud and the intercooler handled with the lift?? Also how are the front tow hooks mounted?

 

I HAVE THE 3 INCH PA BODY LIFT WITH NFAB STEPS AND GET THE SAME REPLIES WOW SEE AT KRAWLTEX .COM JOES DODGE. [NEW AT SITE AND NOT TO COMPUTER SAVVY]

 

the radiator and a/c condensor stay in the factory location (brackets supplied in kit to maintain location) and the intercooler is raised with the body. tow hooks are part of the bumper and the brackets supplied raise both bumpers

 

Thanks - your truck looks great BTW. I went to the PA site and found a 30 plus page install document that shows everything. It appears that they have accounted for everything.

Since the bumper is lifted via brackets, are the tow hooks still functional/usable?

Did you step/nerf bars remain in the original spot or did they get moved as well? I have nerf bars on mine that utilize the body mounts.

 

my side steps are attached to the body so they went up too. the only thing that PA screwed up on and I have told them many times is they send the wrong gaskets for the grid heater spacer. they send paper type. they fit but you will get codes since the paper type won't let the grid heater be grounded thru a metalic type gasket like the factory. I went to dodge and spend $12 on 3 gaskets, replace them and no issues since. I don't think the tow hooks are usable in the factory location but that is my .02. they are attached to the bumper but I am in the middle of getting new bumpers made with 3/4" shackle plates anyways.

 

YEP!!!!!!!!!!
