[rooster96]

Im looking for a bodylift for an 2500HD 6.6L duramax 4x4. If anyone can assist me please respond.

Performance Accessories. Btw, what year? That will make a difference.

The body lift is for an 2005 silveado 6.6L duramax.

The kit will fit, (anything is possible) but you will most likely find the instructions lacking and slightly different for your application (they were designed for the old trucks-01-04 LB7) and there are some differences. But, nonetheless, it can be done. Few guys on the Diesel Place have done it.

how much extra work is it installing a BL on a dmax, ive read that its a lot more difficult than a gas truck, is this true? and is that why the BL costs over 300 bucks and most of the gas truck BL's are like $150?

I assume that your 04 duramax dosent have cat converter. I was wondering about pulling my cat off of my LLY. I heard that i would have to do some mods to bypass some service lights? Thanks

Kitty? what kitty? I had no problems when I cut mine off. Some do, but mine didn't. Occasionally I can find some stored trouble codes when I scan with the predator, but they aren't bad enough to trip the SES light.

Not true. Its not much different at all. May have to fabricate some spacer for the fan shroud.

www.dieselplace.com and do a search. some guys just went with the gas kit and then made the pieces that they needed.

Kinda looks dumb on the HDs... cuz the frame already lifts the body...

Guy down from me has one on his 03 dura(he only went with 33s too) and I just point and laugh everytime hes out there while Im drivin past in my duramax. He calls mine a pos, I call his a hack
job... He says hes gettin banks, propane and nitrous... my comback was for him to stop watching Trucks.

I would imagine he wants to run bigger tires and have more clearance, w/o spending the money for a suspension lift. Why else do people but BL's on trucks?

you can run 35inch with triming and puting on one of theses kits

cheaper and safer than a body lift on a allready body lifted truck

Not cheaper at all. Cognito kit is almost $500. Safer based on what?

then get the 200 dollar one
kit from oru if your that dam broke

and beefing up your suspention is better than messing with all ready body lifted truck

why did you not body lift your truck hummm

[03BlueHD]

I never said I didn't have the money.

My question was what isn't safe? You still have not answered the question with any facts.

All you keep saying is that its already body lifted. So? Is the body lift going to stack spacers? No. So what makes it any different than any other truck with a body lift?

Maybe a body lift isn't for you, but maybe it works fine for others.

[northface]

your truck has 2 inch spacer to lift the body so the trany will fit and most body lifts are 3 inch so 5 iches off the frame is what I am talking about being less safe than just adjusting the suspention and well just look like crap to

heck doing what you did is safer and cheaper than a body lift on these trucks

heck the guy with the question still has never actualy said what he is trying to achive so people can help he get the disired result

[northface]

computer posted twice

Evidently you haven't even crawled under your own truck...because if you had you would notice there is no "2 inch spacer" as you claim there is...do your homework before you keep posting false info.

[northface]

I have been told that its a metal spacer welded on did reasearch and found it called a 2 inch body mount my bad I guess I will get perfect terms next time

but the reality is that we still have not realy help the guy that started the thread and what is is try to achive

so if you have prof that I am wrong help me and others that think this with the real facts caseu then every one will be ont he same page better for all involved
