hi guys! well, im cuban and very stubburn and ive bought a 2008 P.A. 3inch body lift kit that i am in the process installing it on my 2011. first off NONE of the bolts for the new spacers work.
some more specific info for other members:
-all the spacer blocks fit and work perfectly. the spacers for the bed sit nicely between the bed and frame. the spacers for the body sit on the OEM bushing in order to get the same height as the bed.
-NONE of the bolts for the new spacers work. the bed bolts that come with the kit are too short (12x1.75 100mm). i had to hit up a few local hardware stores and found some 12x1.75 130mm bolts which are perfect.
the biggest issue is the fact that all the mounting brackets come with a 1 inch washer welded to the subframe. otherwise atleast the bolts for the bed would have worked.
and although replacing bolts isnt that big of a deal, i dont see the steering shaft adapter fitting either. i will most likely take it out and have it extended at a local shop.
some more specific info for other members:
- bolts that come with the kit:
- (8)12x1.75x180 (too long for any of the mounting points of the bed and although the perfect length for the body mounting points, they are too thin.)
- (8)12x1.75x100 (too short for any of the mounting points.)
- (2)14x2.00x110 (possibly the right width for all 8 body mounting points but about 80mm too short and it only brough 2.)
