3" body lift ?

why wont the 3" body lift (who ever makes it) fit on an xe. is there any mods that will make it fit? can you put new coilovers and make it a 6" lift? also if anyone has pics of a body lift or a body lift with new coilovers can you post some pics. thanks

Re: 3" body lift ?

I agree with the gist of Stoobie's post. Put the lift in the suspension. Body lifts aren't any less a pita to put on, so make it count if you're raising the COG anyway. My .02 also.

Re: 3" body lift ?

A body lift is a good way to go ONLY if you never plan on going offroad but want the look and to be able to fit larger tires without spending alot of cash. On to the question. I believe because XE s have a column shifter and SE,LE have centerconsole shifters. The front bumper may also play a part.

Notch Front Bumper Bracket? The Performance Accessories website says that the radiator support willl have to be modified, yet I cannot find ANY info on how it is to be modified . . . are they talking tin snips a sawzall or a plasma cutter and welder?

Re: 3" body lift ?

Thanks ! I did send them an email about a week ago, but haven't heard anything yet. I'm going to google search for the instructions. Were you thinking about the lift or do you have it?

I also heard it was because of the column shifter.

Re: 3" body lift ?

I'm thinking of adding a body lift to my future Procomp stage 1, but I have an XE with colum shifter, so I guess it's not possible?

Wassup Taleen The Titan! there is a body lift for the XE because i have one.The thing with putting on one is that it involves some cutting and fabricating,I took mine to a shop which took almost a week to install so if you decide to put one on look for someone whose familiar with titan body lifts.Don't worry what people say about body lifts,its your truck make it your own,here's some pics of my titan XE with 6" pro comp lift with DR's full 3" and 3" body lift don't mind the 20x12 with 33's a little small but it works. Good luck!
