Sorry, what I did is I just took out one of the body pucks that comes stock and went down and got the size diameter that the stock pucks and washers are. I then cut the pvc into 2 inch sections jacked the cab up and stuck them in and tightened them down with 2 inch longer bolts. I used the black pvc and if I recall it looked to be 3/16-1/4 inch thick. With only a two inch body lift it works fine, I've never had it crack or shift on me so it works well for me. On my other toyota I used the couplers that you use to connect two pvc ends together. I think they were white and are harder than just regular pvc pipe. they worked well too and were close to 2 inches long. Just get creative and save yourself the money. Just my .02 from a poor college student
saw this in the wanted add's for a body lift Ill leave the postie

We have a local retard up here who stacked a foot, yes, 12 inches, of washers onto a 1/2 thick shaft, tacked them ALL together, then bolted each body lift "shaft" into the truck with all thread!:eek: :eek:
12 INCHES OF WASHERS!!!!
Runs the first edition of 44" Ground Hawgs ever made under the POS.
If some one else has seen worse, I don't want to know about it!

better off using washers welded together, and save the pipe for your sprinker system:)

OK, how about this? 4 chunks of I-beam 6" long under each spring for a 6" lift? I chewed his ass the day I saw it and told him how dangerous it was and that if they didn't get removed I was going to knock them out myself. So he went home and welded them to his leafsprings!:eek: :eek:
Wanna know the best part? This was the same guy that used the 12" of washers for his body lift. This was on his "daily driver" though. The one with the washers was his "extreme trail rig." Whatever.

No can do on the pics. This was all about 3-4 years ago. BUT!!! A new rig just rolled into town with that same lift kit!! I'll get pics for ya. This one has the I-beam block rear, and then lift blocks for te front out of C-channel with a plate welded on top. Couldn't even splurge for actual box tubing! Now thatr's what I call High Quality!
