Islandpath Posted December 23, 2010 Share Posted December 23, 2010 (edited) If anyone one want to help me install a body lift from AC for me and I will pay them to install it. I don't know how to do this that is why I am asking someone to do it. Or you know a shop that does this kind of work in Fairfax, VA that you can trust. I really want to fix up my Path with larger 33 tires. I love this path to the max and I want to do it right. Thanks!!

jj big shoe Posted January 1, 2011 Share Posted January 1, 2011 I'd love to help. but you're about six years too late. I used to live about two miles from the circle. Check out a few write-ups in the how-to section, it's not too dificult. Just plan on using an entire weekend so you give yourself more than enough time and not rush it. BTW, you'll need a suspension lift along with the body lift to fit 33's. Good luck. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
unccpathfinder Posted January 1, 2011 Share Posted January 1, 2011 33s will work on a bl with some body trimming.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Islandpath Posted January 25, 2011 Author Share Posted January 25, 2011 (edited) Okay we got my BL on with my my friend help. I have a small problem... I cant get the driver side bumper put on with the new bracket. The steering column shaft is on the way. Is there a trick to put it on? Also, my rear bumper how do you adjust it to go up 3"?

RedPath88 Posted January 25, 2011 Share Posted January 25, 2011 I had to trim a corner of the brackets that came with mine. Don't remember exactly what the deal was, but I do know that things did not bolt up without trimming them. There are some lower holes in the bumper... or maybe it's upper in the frame? (lol sorry it's been a while since I even looked at it!). It is not a factory style fit, but it can be moved up none the less Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
unccpathfinder Posted January 27, 2011 Share Posted January 27, 2011 rear bumpers on both trucks are still at stock height...i'd say you could move them up with a homemade brkt... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nunya Posted January 27, 2011 Share Posted January 27, 2011 Using different holes in the frame and flipping something from the bottom to the top IIRC is how I got mine moved up a little more snugish. Sorry, don't exactly remember... And those "relocation brackets" for the front suck! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
unccpathfinder Posted January 27, 2011 Share Posted January 27, 2011 Yes they do...That's y no trucks I. Have put the bl on get the front bumper on right away... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nunya Posted January 27, 2011 Share Posted January 27, 2011 You just don't like bumpers I couldn't figure out that crap they give you though, why I just modified my stock brackets Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
unccpathfinder Posted January 27, 2011 Share Posted January 27, 2011 the crap they give you is exactly that...crap...she's getting bumpers as soon as i buy my buddies welder since mine broke...and i hope to have my TG rear bumper on my truck before MOAB with a spare mounted Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Islandpath Posted January 28, 2011 Author Share Posted January 28, 2011 I wish I know how to fab. I need a new bumper!!!!!!!!!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
unccpathfinder Posted January 29, 2011 Share Posted January 29, 2011 you could use the rear bumper if you can get some plate steel and drill 6 holes in it...in theory...basically you'll bolt it to the frame then bolt the bumper to that...won't be near as strong as the OEM mount but it'll look better... I will soon be inspecting trail gear's toyota rear bumper to see what type of mods need to be done to mount that bumper and maybe designing some rear bumper relocation brackets for the stock bumper...but i wouldnt count on seeing any of this from me in the next 2-3 months lol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
