from what i've researched, you'll need a '98+ MFS for your truck.

 

Couldn't find a switch locally to fit a my 98' so I just bought a brand new one on eBay for $98.00 bucks shipped. One year warranty and all. Dealer here wanted $450.

$350.00 saved.

























































Can't get the two mounts out on either side behind the back wheel, tried everything. Round 2 tomorrow.

 

BL done in my driveway, with a bunch of sockets and a steel pipe. Freezing cold, snow on the ground and me installing a body lift. My hands are beat up, I have the flu, and I smell like WD-40. But I have a 2" PA body lift installed. Just got to relocate the front and back bumper..

 

Hmm, nice to know that I`m not the only one who works in the driveway. Top work, I`ll do the same in the next weeks, out in the driveway too, but it`ll be a 3" lift...

 

Wasn't easy that's for sure. First thing I had to do was shovel around the truck so I could lay cardboard down and try to get a organized area to work with. Overall it wasn't too bad. I had soaked the mounts for a week with W-40 and they all came out pretty easy except for the two above the rear axle. Went to a shop and payed them five bucks to loosen them for me because I couldn't get at em at all in the driveway.

I'm going to have to modify the rear bumper brackets though to raise it up, I think the ones I had in my kit are from an S10.

Hopefully the front bumper is a sure fit.

 

I`ll have to do the brackets myself, but maybe I`ll go with custom bumpers anyway...

 

I'm just glad the hard part is over, and I can get to the fun stuff like making gap guards..

I wish you all the best though, you'll have to extend your fuel filler hose, and oil filter bracket too don't forget.

 

Why the oil filter? I don`t remember it well, but isn`t it also mounted on the frame?

 

It's on a bracket, than the bracket gets bolted to the frame.

To keep it from stretching/binding when the body is lifted a extended piece has to be put in place. I guess just to keep everything in line.. I'll take a picture of mine when I get off work in an hour or so and show you how mine is.

 

bah! frozen desktop, he beat me to it.
