I want to do a 1" or 2" body lift, not a 3", What should I buy?

Can't wait to see pictures of it.

Here are the bolts I made, welded them with a 3/32 7018 on my little 120v stick welder, (my only dc welder) I had it turned all the way up. I got the bodly lift bushings installed yesterday, but no pics of that yet. Bolts worked very well, no issues with them at all except for the one by the e-brake cable being just a little too long. I ended up cutting it down with a mini hack saw after the whole set was installed/ torqued/ loctited.

Still figuring out about what I am going to do with the steering, I think I may go to a wrecker and get a steering column slip joint and make my own extension.

 

[WormsExplorer]

That's one way to do it. Where did you purchase the body pucks?

 

[Jeff213]

Got the body lift bushings from amazon.

 

[WormsExplorer]

10 right? Wanna do one for my explorer.

 

[Jeff213]

Yes. There are 2 by the radiator, 4 under the carpet up front, 2 by the flap that sits against the rear seats, and 2 in the back under the carpet. This is for a 4 door.

 

[WormsExplorer]

Awesome thanks. I also have a 4 door. So now I know for when I get mine.

Keep the pictures coming, I want to do this too. I was thinking about making 1" spacers lots good info here.

 

[Jeff213]

I made some brackets to relocate the rear bumper. Used 3"x2"x 1/4" angle. Here is a pic of one of the brackets with a coat of rustoleum rusty metal primer. I painted them black later.

Looking good sir

 

[Jeff213]

I also figured out how I am going to extend the steering column. I am going to weld 2 slip joints together, using the shaft as a jig, so everything is lined up 100% correctly.

looking good !

 

[WormsExplorer]

Looking good. I like build with pictures.

 

[Jeff213]

been tired after work.. painted a little on the frame where it was rusting and installed the bumper relocation brackets though.

 

[WormsExplorer]

Your Re-location brackets how long are they? That looks good.

 

[Jeff213]

So, the relocation brackets dont quite fit, started clearancing them today, when I finish reshaping them I will post new pictures.

 

[Jeff213]

So, I ended up having to trim quite a bit and it was really hot, I planned to take pictures, but when I was test fitting and it finally fit I just bolted it up tight.
