Pwnery Tinkers - Zone Offroad 4th Gen Ram 1.5" Body Lift

Описание: Welcome back to Pwnery Tinkers - a few-and-far-between playlist when I can afford the time to record some of my "other interests that may be of interest to you." That's a line I generally say in every video - but now you can actually SEE the other kind of videos I do that aren't games or gun related :)

Stage 8 of "Project Attitude" is a little bit of "planning ahead" for a future tire upsize and upgrade. Today we're tackling a subtle, but substantial piece of the "clearance" puzzle with the Zone Offroad 1.5" body lift kit. It's a very comprehensive, and well thought-out kit, which includes the bumper relocation brackets, the spare tire winch relocation pieces, as well as little cubes to support the bed's crossmember - none of which I'm using in today's video. Nope, today is the "bare necessities" of the lift - 14 body pucks, the R&R of the original body bolts and washers, as well as installing the chassis ground extension piece. It may seem like the "lazy way to do it," but keep in mind I'm no longer running a stock set of bumpers, and with my 13000 pound winch, I would rather not compromise the bumper-to-frame horn arrangement and weaken that link. As you'll see, the rear is a negligible issue, and I've already sorted out the issue with the front "gap" under the headlights, deciding to re-use the original trim piece that used to be there in the first place with the OEM bumper.

From start to finish including all of the pauses for filming and narration - I was able to knock this out in a about 3 hours and 45 minutes.

If you'd like tackle a project similar to this, I'll leave all the parts I can recall using down below. Be aware, this is the channel's first 5 Samuel-L job, it is incredibly labor intensive and cannot really be done without an assistant - though I guess you could handle it with an engine hoist if push really came to shove.
