body lift?

[ngghd92]

i have a 97 350 diesel long bed reg cab. i want a body lift but every where i find says they dont work on diesels. why? and where can i get one? or any one have ideas on how i can raise my truck 2-3 inches WITHout spending 700+

they work on diesels. Our OBS trucks arent any different than a gasser minus the motor. only issue might be our more wires that might not stretch but lots of guys run body lifts. you have a 350?? just do a mini pack in the front and a 2 inch block in the back

thank you.. i did an add a leaf in the front nad when i did it i added a few little plates but the stock u bolts arnt very long so i want more.. i was thinkin buy a ublot/ block kit for the rear and buy ublult for the tront and have someone machine me some blocks for the front. iam not trying to go super huge but a weeee bit bigger then now.

i have 3 inches of lift on mine and its just right. you will sit higher than me cause i was starting as a 250. but look up mini leaf packs on ebay or something. I bet the body lift has something to do with the fan shroud. it would mess with an intercooler if you had one. Idk i can see why it would be bad

yea its odd. iam not looking for a monster lift andnot looking to spend a bunch of money

my mini pack was like 120 bucks, came with u bolts. then advance auto had a 2 inch block in the rear for like 20 bucks

[ngghd92]

yea thats what ill do. i knew the rear blocks for sure, and i have an add aleaf in the front but that didnt add much. thank you for your help
