720driver97 Posted October 3, 2015 Report Share Posted October 3, 2015 Are there any lift kits for 720's, how many blocks do u need for a body lift? 1 Quote Link to comment
Rhino13 Posted October 3, 2015 Report Share Posted October 3, 2015 I googled "Nissan 720 body lift" http://www.summitracing.com/parts/pra-4033 There are also suspension lifts but it all depends on what your plans with the truck are. I've heard it's not good to run more than a 2 inch body lift if you'll be offroad at all. There are a few solid axle swapped 720's out there, it's just a lot of fab work. 1 Quote Link to comment
Lockleaf Posted October 3, 2015 Report Share Posted October 3, 2015 Suspension lift maxes out at about 3 inches. 4x4parts.com sells a lift kit. Front is upper control arms and re indexing torsion bars. Rear can be done by installing shackles or blocks or 2wd leaf springs. Body lift kits can also be purchased. I believe it takes 10 blocks? I think it is 6 blocks under the cab and 4 under the bed? No promises. 1 Quote Link to comment

Lockleaf Posted October 3, 2015 Report Share Posted October 3, 2015 If you combine the suspension lift and the body lift you should clear 33s. There won't be much space to go any bigger, but you can probably clear 33s OK. 1 Quote Link to comment
datzenmike Posted October 4, 2015 Report Share Posted October 4, 2015 I wouldn't use shackles. Adding 2" of increased shackle would lift the axle less than an inch because the hinge point is forward of the axle. In fact the axle is closer to the front than the shackle so even worse. In addition, lateral stability is compromised. Just imagine your g/f on 7" stilettos. I mixed Nissan and Ford F-150 springs with 9" of arch in them. I've done 4" body lift on a 720 frame with a 620 body. The rad had to be lowered on the rad support because the hoses wouldn't reach and the fan not fit the shroud. Gas tank filler hose won't reach. Brake flex line down to the differential was lengthened. The front brake hard lines just had enough coil in them to stretch. I loosened the clutch hard line at the flex line connection and let it hang more. Had 720 steering column so it was jointed and would allow the cab to move higher unlike the one piece column and box on the 521/620 trucks. 1 Quote Link to comment
720driver97 Posted October 5, 2015 Author Report Share Posted October 5, 2015 Anyone have pics of their lifted 720's 1 Quote Link to comment
Boxcar Posted October 14, 2015 Report Share Posted October 14, 2015 I am removing a 3" body lift as we speak. Will be getting rid of all of it. If you want it come and get it. OR SEND A BIG BOX..... Blocks , bolts , frame skirts , fender well skirts etc. It was a nice kit , very complete I'm going a different direction with my 84. The bed has 6 blocks and 4 center rub spacers. The cab runs 4 blocks 2 spacers and a pair of core blocks. 1 Quote Link to comment

mx71 Posted September 27, 2017 Report Share Posted September 27, 2017 Boxcar, by skirts, do you mean the rubber that covers the motor and space between the bed and frame inside the fenders? I've been looking like hell for those...even something universal. 1 Quote Link to comment

bottomwatcher Posted September 27, 2017 Report Share Posted September 27, 2017 I think they are called lift lips and were available a couple of years ago around 100. 720 girl are you back on the road? 1 Quote Link to comment
720Girl Posted October 7, 2017 Report Share Posted October 7, 2017 Hey bottomwatcher, I am proud to say I am! After the final adjustments made to the carburetor and replacing both the intake and exhaust ignition coils, cleaning off the ends of my spark plugs and replacing the battery terminal wires, she drives like a top! It has been such a long journey but I couldn't have done it without the help of this forum and it's active members! Thank you for asking, you rock! :) 2 Quote Link to comment
