Body- Interior, Exterior, bodylifts
BODY LIFTS- Inexpensive and fairly easy to install EXCEPT for problems you may have with the shifters. Solutions to the shifter problems are cutting/welding/bending them, or lifting the drivetrain. BL's may clear 33" tires depending on whether or not you want to remove your front mud flaps and your wheel/tire combo. Narrower wheels (& tires) with less backspacing will give better tire clerance at the rear of the front fender wells.
BODY- Chrome grill peels
(remedy- replace grill. Passenger side started first, chrome bubbled...maybe
BODY- sagging body mounts
Replace with prothane kit (#?) or Energy Susp. kit 8-4105.
HOOD VIBRATION- Hood can flex/vibrate at speed.
Cause: Failure of Factory-Adhesive at sections under hood (subframe).
Solution: Use PolyUrethane Construction adhesive (all-weather) and re-caulk/seal the existing joints/adhesive points. Let cure overnight (engine compartment should be cool prior to gluing between hood and subframe areas).
Recommend wearing protect gloves, clothes and protect engine area from any drippage of adhesive
HOOD SQUEAKS- try adjusting the rubber bumpers up and/or lubricating the hood latch mechanism.
