Was just going to have it installed with income tax, but priorities ate that up!

For this old neophyte, what is a "body lift" ?

 

[Tombstones81]

A "Body Lift" does exactly what it says.
It lifts the body up off the frame 3 more inches

vs a "Suspension Lift" is also self explanatory.

Sparked my curiosity, frequently finding parts previously unknown (I live in a hole. Pardon my ignorance, I'm like elementary mechanic (101).... A couple years ago I came across the known "Frame Bushing Rot" issue and replaced the OEM factory bushings that came installed on my 2002ST with Polyurethane Bushings. Somewhat a pain in the but process, harder than anticipated - I was never able to break the rear pair free - but they were good anyway... The pair in the 2nd and 3rd mounts were the ones badly decomposed. That definitely improved the stability greatly reduced cab roll..... Having done that, exactly where would the Body Lift kit install? I'd imagine you'd have to use the Lift Spacers on top of the Bushings??? Kindly share any other install insight and just maybe you're one step closer to unloading the kit..... Thx

V, Most kits re use the lower bushing and just add a taller one on the top with longer bolts. Each kit is different but that's the basics of it.

Thx TZ. That's kinda what i thought it'd be, but when I looked at the pics of the kit the bolts didn't look extra long. The existing frame bushing bolts were long, but i don't believe super long to accommodate another 3+ inches for the lift.... But I could be wrong. I guess as long as they can thread ~ an inch then their fine....

Amazed this has not sold yet, even listed on FB marketplace!
Nobody lifting their Gen1 ST's anymore?

So now I Really have no use for the kit.

$140 cheaper, I guess nobody is jacking their **** up!

Dropped to $175

 

[swshawaii]

Geez folks, this is a STEAL at $175 shipped.

That's less than half price of anywhere else.

I'D BUY IT IF I WASN'T LOWERED. LOL

 

[Tombstones81]

even on FB Marketplace, its getting 100 to 200 views each renewal & nothin.
pretty much half of what I paid for it.
Money is getting tight with the only vehicle left is my wifes 03 Ram that gets an average 10mpg!
Unless I go out alone on the bike.

Try ebay..... I seem to have more luck there, Just price to cover fees and what you want for it and eventually they sell....

 

[Tombstones81]

^ ty
totally forgot about ebay after them taking quite the large chunk off some motorcycle parts I sold on there last year.

So now its $200 + $30 shipping on there to cover that bs

 

[Tombstones81]

$150 shipped, on here Only & wont stay at that price if I get the extra $$ I need elsewhere.

Wife went from being negative $14 in the bank, to close to negative $100......
& a $111 bill to be paid by Monday
