Default 1" PA body lift install question

Do you really need to remove the air bag fuse? I dont think other body lift kits require this.

Also why do you have to mess with the steering shaft? I dont think other kits mess with this either.

By the way, i have been looking at the M.O.R.E. install notes and comparing them with the PA instructions.

I would remove the Air Bag fuse. You really don't want that going off by accident.

Do you mean you have to remove the air bag fuse permanently? Personally I wouldn't be very comfortable with that. Too bad. I was actually considering adding a body lift.

Same if there is any chance of that thing poping out I'd do something, probably just pull the + post of the Battery.

the instructions said to disconnect the battery AND pull the fuse. I guess I will just disconnect the battery because I never found the air bag fuse.

i didnt... i think if when the body was jacked up off the frame if it fell for some reason, the impact could potentially deploy the air bag.


just dont drop anything. lol
