What wires to check before body lift? - 9/14/2008 5:03:28 PM    stevenf   Posts: 71 Joined: 4/23/2008 Status: offline I put my 2" body lift on a couple months ago and since then I have had electrical problems that only keep getting worse. Are there any grounds that you guys came across while installing your body lift? I cant seem to find one. Post #: 1
