Anyone know who makes one? Everywhere I look says 1/2 ton or 3/4 ton except for ORD but their kit is only for 1 in. Anyone with an actual 1 ton used one of the 1/2-3/4 ton body lifts? Any insight would be appreciated as I need the clearance to fit the 44's I just got. :p: Thanks
 
Ok, now I've found a kit for my 1 ton but supposedly it wont work because I have a diesel engine.. WTF is the difference? Anyone?
 
no problems as its gas and 3" kit with gap gaurds also just not in in the pics. poped in with no problems to speek of as it was a supper clean truck to start.
 
I found some 3" bodylift spacers at the boneyard. I cut them down to 2" and put them in my 1-ton. ;)

I had to notch the floor maybe 1/2" for the 205 shifter.

The only real problem was the rad shroud. I ended up removing it, and as a result, it would overheat when crawling around on uphill stretches. I suspect this would be a problem for diesels.... I'm sure losing the shroud (on that monster radiator) would impact the cooling much more than on a gasser.
