RC4WD BODY LIFT KIT FOR MERCEDES-BENZ AROCS 3348 6X4 TIPPER TRUCK – VVV-C0525
The RC4WD VVV-C0525 Body Lift Kit is a model-specific mounting upgrade for the Mercedes-Benz Arocs 3348 6x4 Tipper Truck. The kit replaces/repositions the relevant body mounting interfaces to raise the body relative to the chassis while retaining a purpose-built, machined installation rather than relying on improvised spacers.
CNC-MACHINED BILLET ALUMINUM
RC4WD specifies billet aluminum, CNC-machined construction and a smooth black anodized finish. The machined brackets provide defined mounting geometry, while the anodized surface gives the components a clean scale appearance and protects the aluminum surface during normal handling and installation.
- Manufacturer: RC4WD / CChand
- Part Number: VVV-C0525
- Application: Mercedes-Benz Arocs 3348 6x4 Tipper Truck
- Material: Billet aluminum
- Manufacturing: CNC machined
- Finish: Smooth black anodized
- Total Weight: 69.1g / 2.43oz
BODY-LIFT FUNCTION
Manufacturer imagery demonstrates approximately a 10mm increase in body height in the before/after comparison. The lift changes the relationship between the cab/body and chassis rather than changing axle-to-chassis suspension ride height. That distinction matters: a body lift can create additional visual or component clearance without directly increasing differential ground clearance.
WHY BODY POSITION MATTERS
Raising the body can provide additional separation around chassis-mounted components and changes the truck's stance. It also changes the vertical relationship of the cab, bumpers, steps, tanks, fenders and other scale accessories. For that reason, a complete build should be checked as a system after installation rather than assuming every accessory will retain identical alignment.
MODEL-SPECIFIC FITMENT
RC4WD lists this kit specifically for the Mercedes-Benz Arocs 3348 6x4 Tipper Truck. It should not be treated as a universal semi-truck body-lift system. Mount spacing, bracket geometry and body interfaces are application-specific.
69.1G TOTAL KIT WEIGHT
At only 69.1g, the lift hardware itself adds relatively little mass to a large-scale tipper truck. The more important setup change is the raised position of the existing body mass. Moving body mass upward can modestly increase the vehicle's center-of-gravity height, so steering response and side-slope stability should be evaluated after installation, particularly on trucks carrying additional lighting, metal accessories or scale equipment high on the cab.
WHAT'S INCLUDED
- 1x Body Lift Kit for Mercedes-Benz Arocs 3348 6x4 Tipper Truck
The Mercedes-Benz Arocs truck and any surrounding accessories shown in manufacturer installation photos are not included.
INSTALLATION CHECKLIST
- Document the original body position and bracket orientation before disassembly.
- Dry-fit every machined bracket before fully tightening the mounting hardware.
- Keep left/right body height consistent so the cab does not sit twisted relative to the chassis.
- Check cab-to-bumper, cab-to-step and fender-to-tire alignment after the lift.
- Verify wiring to lights and accessories has sufficient slack at the new body height.
- Inspect hydraulic, electrical or mechanical routing near the body for new interference points.
- Cycle steering and suspension through their full ranges before operating the truck.
- Re-check mounting hardware after the first operating session.
WHAT A BODY LIFT DOES NOT DO
This modification should not be confused with a suspension lift. Raising the body does not by itself raise the axles or differential housings farther from the ground. Any improvement in tire/body clearance or component packaging depends on the specific truck configuration, while true under-axle ground clearance remains governed primarily by tire diameter and axle geometry.
GASHEAD RC NOTE
VVV-C0525 is best approached as a precision packaging and stance modification. The CNC-machined brackets make the change clean and repeatable, but the truck should be inspected afterward as a complete assembly because a roughly 10mm body-position change can affect the visual and mechanical alignment of other scale accessories.
