I'm a cheapo, and im looking to do a cheap body lift. i can get all the bolts, extend what needs to be extended etc, but could i use some 4x4 3'' pressure treated wood and drill a hole in the middle and mount it up and use it? what about 3 hockey pucks on top of each other? whats the safest route to go? i might get the kit if its a last resort but id like to know if this would work first. thanks.

Would you strap your kids in the car with rope?
lol
NO WOOD! it will split....
it'll be easier to just put the body lift kit in...and will last.

i wouldn't go anywhere near that truck and I don't think your insurance company or the cops would like it very much if u ever got into an accident plus like blazer said wood will split.
Def not wood but I made a 2 inch kit for my samurai using 2 inch box steel just cut it drill the center and used longer bolts and my stock buchings
Yeah I'd use wood, rough cut thou. Its softer, it won't split. Make the cab ones a little taller than the beds, the weight will crush them to make them even.
id use some old campbells soup cans, put the bolts in ahead of time and make sure they are centered when the quick drying cement sets up..... and leave the lables on for sure... id say some cramy tomato would look good. maybe some chicken noodle, but dont use split pea they are not as solid...
i read the title out loud and my 15 year old brother said thats going to end bad... its sad because he doesnt really know anything about trucks and knew thats a stupid idea :rotf:
this thread should just be deleted!!!! seriously. wow. Im a cheapo to. I just went to 6 consignment shops lookin for a crip for my baby to get the best deal. but when it came to down to it i bought the nicest one and i bought the what i think is the best car seat too.
I wouldnt be any different on spendin 75-100 dollars on a BL for my s10.
seriously dude think about what your askin before you post it. would save you alot of embarrasment.
but as for the rest of us. atleast we got a good laugh outta this thread...
MODS delete this ISH please.

A hockey puck lift works fine. Like others have said wood is a very bad idea but most have ignored the other option you mentioned.
Hockey pucks have been used a lot to body lift vehicles. They work absolutely fine.
With that said. Keep the height within reason. You mentioned 3" and thats the extreme I would take it. I dont like anything bigger then 2" with a bodylift but thats just me personally.

Way to give some dumbass advice :doh:
ya send em some good old canadian hockey pucks maybe thats why we are better at hockey better rubber pucks they don't have as much give when someone hits it.
pucks are made of vulcanized rubber...once they reach of cracking they will split alot easier but they will work good for bit if you dont forget their down there. just gotta check and replace
now i have never bought a hockey puck but he said stack three on top of each other and 3x10 is 30 and lets just assume they are $2 each thats $60 then u have to buy bolts wivh will run u about $30 thats a grand total of $90 and u can buy the actual kit for like $100 why wast the time and effort in drilling 30 pucks for $10
