Message: can anyone tell me a little more about this hocky puck bodylift thing cause i dont want to spend $100 on a lift kit. i want to go 33x12.50r15. its just an idea but if it works it might save me a few bucks
Message: Did you not read the post about them cracking? If you try this I hope you don't do any off roading. Would suck to see some major damage done cuz you want to save some money. Where r u able to find a BL for $100? I would be happy to spend that. Most places I've seen are more like $200.
Message: well i was just curious. im not seriously considering it. and ur right about the price, i thought i saw one for 100 but it was really 210. thanks for the input.
Message: i just went offroading with my brothers hockey puck truck and it held up just fine. it was a plowed field and it had rained about 4 inches the night before.
Message: Well, he’s lucky until he’s not. There is a reason many states will automatically fail trucks with them during inspection. I recall once hearing somewhere that NJ will not only fail the truck, but will red tag it and require it be towed from the inspection station upon finding them installed. Don’t know how accurate that is but I do know they have some pretty strict lift laws there.
All I can say is I’ve seen hockey pucks chip and crack while playing with them on the ice. Put a few hundred pounds of truck body weight on top on them and bounce it around for a while and I would expect them to crack eventually. It’s really a matter of “how safe do you want to be?” Is the 100 or so bucks you’re gonna save really worth the risk? I’ve always been a firm believer of doing it right the first time instead of Mickey Mousing it. I put a Trailmaster body lift on my truck 8 or 9 years ago and never had a single problem. I highly doubt you’ll ever get that kind of reliability out of hockey pucks.
Message: I'm not tryin to be a d!ck but from the posts ur still thinking about doing this whole hockey puck thing. Are you mental? It's like Walt said are you willing to risk your truck because you want to save a $100? Because if something goes bad ur gonna be paying a lot more than that to either get it fixed or replaced. If ur gonna do it I guess I can't stop you but seriously I would check my priorities. Look over Safety? If you do do it I hope nothin happens.
Message: well i appericate the concern but has anybody ever seen hocky pucks crack on a truck? and not from playin with them? i know they might crack during games because they freeze them before they play with them. they are made of rubber after all.
...i bet i could pull it off.
Message: FWIW, I once pulled 2 cracked hockey pucks out of a friend's 79 Bronco when we were replacing them with a 3" Body Lift. Wish I had photos to share but that was in the days before the Internet.
Message: yeah but i bet he didnt have a brace around them to hold them toghther and it was a 79, do you know how long they had been on there? and u said they were cracked, but where they still holdin the truck together? ill proably only keep them on till i buy a body lift, ill let u guys know how it goes.
Message: i know a guy who used hockey pucks to lift his truck a 96 f150, and six years later were still holding with minor cracks, hockey pucks are virtually undestrucable
Message: For fdgh jr...it probably would've been more believable if you would have used the same e-mail address. In all truth of the matter the hockey pucks will probably do just fine for the time you have the truck...there's a reason they use the poly they do for the BL rather than rubber. only time and abuse can tell.
