  • body swap

    I'm looking for any tips anyone can give on how to lift a ramcharger body off of one chassis onto another never attemped this before and looking for any tips and advice that will be helpful in doing this. I've done pickup cabs but not ramchargers.
    Thanks

    Not knowing what you have to work with but I'll offer this up. Raise the body as far as necessary to get 4x4's under the body side to side,one at the front one at the rear. Rest the ends on saw horses to allow the chassis to roll out from under. Roll the new chassis under and reverse the process. If you have an engine hoist it should lift one end at a time to get the 4x4's under it. Be careful and don't skimp on the horses holding the cab. If it's not stable you'll have the body on top of you or your help before you know it.

      Best bet is to find somebody with a lift or a backhoe rope it and lift it that way safer this way nobody is trying to shove 4x4's under body plus it will take less time .Work Smarter Not harder .
