You can do the 2" body lift easy. The hardest part is removing the factory body mounts since they are usually rusted or seized. A sawzall cuts them well though :bdent: If you like the look of aftermarket hoods then I would do that though. Congrats on getting it installed!

ya body lifts are easy I put a 1" on mine without any trouble. the fan gaurd and bumper gaps are the only thing to worry about.

I really like the look of the hood that I have so I'm planning to go with the body lift. I was able to shut the hood without the air cleaner and I have about an inch of space. So I'm planning to pickup a low profile cleaner and then estimate the body lift that I'll need to clear it. I'm hoping 2" will work. My gut says going > 2" will require more adjustment in other spots.

Who makes the best body lift kit?

[firefighter2134]

i bought mine from wild horses. i know that nix trix makes an aluminum body lift in colors. but i think the vendors are all within a few dollars of each other.

A pretty productive night last night:

1. New Pilot bearing - check
   
2. Fly wheel - check
   
3. New Clutch - check
   
4. New Pressure plate - check
   
5. Bell Housing - check
   
6. Starter - check
   

Passenger side headers were a tight squeeze as you can see.

Getting closer! :toothy12: :beer:

What's the method to use when jack up the body?

[firefighter2134]

i used a floor jack and jack stands with some 2x4s. u wanna keep it as level as possible. small increments so you dont damage the body any

[73Bronc]

ok, so raise up both sides to an even level, not one side at a time.
