2.5 inch Highlifter lift.

[Tot]

Got the lift put on today! It's not hard at all, directions were easy to follow and the pictures provided were clear. I had someone helping me making it go faster.

Total time for install: 1 hour and 15 minutes

The front:

Pretty straight forward, unbolt the shock put the new plate up and put the bolt through the original mount with a bushing between them, the other plate, and a nut.

***No problems except for bushing 4Y that goes is the original mount. Had to cut about 1/4 inch off of both that went on the front***

The Rear:

A little more complex since there are 4 bolts going in and a bunch of different sized bushings. When we got one side done and figured out which bushings went where it was like 5 minutes to do the other side.

*** Same problem with bushing 4Y on the rear mounts. They were too long and had to cut 1/4 inch off of both***


Original clearance:

~13.5 on the front passenger side

~14.5 on the rear passenger side

Post Highlifter clearance:

~17 on the front passenger side

~16.5 on the rear passenger side

Looks really good. When you get back out to take pics, can you post pics of the lift brackets installed? Thanks.

Is this the bracket lift they have on their website for 189.99?

Cool thanks. I've kinda been on the fence about lifting mine. Let us know your impressions of how it drives.

I drove it yesterday and I liked the way it felt with the stockers on it. It felt like a better ride to me. Not sure if I'll drive it much today since we got some rain. I'm trying to keep it as clean as I can till I get the truck tires on it

Thanks! Yes it's a 5 gal. I purchased STI HD 4s 15x7 with a 5+2 offset. I'm going to put 235/75r15 Federal Cougaria tires on it for my summer tires. That tires size is close to 30 I believe.

 

[Tot]

is that stock tires?

Yes

Good choice how wide is it let us know when you went get it together

Thank you, those are good pics. I wanted to see if they had the same problems like they did on the P700. This lift for the P1000 looks better.

Never had dealings with a 700, but I'm happy with it, it rides better to me now. I was impressed how thick the plates were, I guess they would have to be with this heavy of a machine.

Tot is the reason I bought a Highlifter kit for mine. Totally happy with it. Doesn't seem tipsy at all and like his pics show, it'll easily clear a 5gal bucket with stock tires. Brackets are plenty thick and well designed. 2 thumbs up for Highlifter.
