I want to do some extensive frame cleaning, and want access to the top of my frame rails. How high can I lift my tub without a lot of work disconnecting wiring and/or steering column? Ideally, I want to lift the tub and rest it in pieces of 2x4 or even 4x4 while I clean.
Cleaning My Frame, How High Can I lift My Tub Without Causing Problems?

The tallest available body lift is 3 inches so I would bet that would be a safe spot to start.
I personally wouldn't unbolt all the body mounts at once though and lift the tub. Too high of a chance of something not lining up.

That would be my fear as well. And getting things realigned could be a massive PITA.
I'd like to hear from someone who has done a 3 inch body lift. Can you actually lift one side that high (more than 3 inches to get 3 inch pucks in there) without binding the other side?
Depends on how much you're willing to disconnect. At a certain point you might as well take the body off

It's never been done in a way you are thinking. You will be the first one. Normally it's already gutted out when they lift a tub.

I've read the procedure on what's needed to remove the tub, but I'm not set up to lift the whole tub, or have place to store it, once removed.
