Re: 2\" body lift install

Start spraying all of your body mounts with WD-40 now. That way the bolts should be a little easier to get off when you go to do the lift.

Ditto, but I like PB Blaster better.
Spray twice a day.
and take the front grill off when you do Front body mounts it is easier to get at those bolts.

 

Re: 2\" body lift install

I wouldn't waste my time with WD40 if I were you... I'd use either PB Blaster or AeroKroil... Both of those work well... It's really hard to find AeroKroil though...

Take your time. Lifting the body one half at a time. Make sure the body dont slide on the frame. Have a buddy help. Safty first!

Re: 2\" body lift install

Watch the fuel filler hose, you might have to get a longer one, just depends on application. The fan shroud and oil filter relocation are the only things that do cause problems. As for the lifting, we found that doing the front then rear seems to work better, if it's a two door. Otherwise lift at the same time or left then right. Have fun and giv'er hell.

Re: 2\" body lift install

The relocation of the oil filter depends on the type of engine, a 4.3L with a 2" body lift you might have lower the filter down but I doubt it, if it was a 3" lift then yes definitely, but it all depends on your engine compartment set up.
For a 2.8 Liter engine the fuel filter is screwed to the engine and not mounted on the side so you should not have to mess with it.
no matter what you will need to trim the fan shoud, unless you decide to put in a electric fan.
