Ok, I’ve been mulling over this for a while, although my ultimate goal will be a 4” suspension lift, I’ve decided a 2” body lift will be sufficient for now, until funds become available for the suspension lift.
I’ve used the search feature, and have found a lot of useful information. However I now suffer from information overload and I’m unsure of a few things. Any help you can provide will be greatly appreciated.
Questions:
1. I’ve got a 99 4dr 4x4; I would like to install a 2” PA body lift. Is kit #792 the correct kit to purchase for my vehicle? If yes, I’ve found this kit online for $85 plus S&H, is this a good deal?
2. I’ve read about having to buy some new bolts for use during the install. Can somebody explain the size/type of bolts to buy and how/where they will be used? Also please list other stuff I should purchase before hand, that I will need to install this lift such as thread-lock, etc...
3. I would like to move the front and rear bumpers up with the lift. Can somebody explain how I will need to modify the brackets included with the kit in order to accomplish this?
4. Explain any issues I will face with the steering and use of the included steering extension?
5. Are there any special tools and/or equipment I will need to install this lift?
6. ANYTHING, you feel I should be aware of before, during, or after the installation of this lift
Thanks again for all your help!!
