I am planning on installing the 2" 90 - 94 body lift on my 99XLT. I am looking for advise from others that have done this.. I have searched all the posts and I know there is a write-up out there about it(by Brian Ward I think), I can not find it. I am planning on installing the lift on the 25th of this month. I have plenty of time to read any suggestions that people may have to make this an easy job. Thanks.

I hope this works.

Thanks, that write up is very good and I actually learned alot from reading thru it, but the one I am really looking for is the write-up for the 2" lift for a 90-94 that someone has put on a 95+. I e-mailed Brian Ward, because I think he is the one that did it. I am only really worried about the radiator brackets and weather they are going to fit on my 99.
 






I'm sorry I didn't see you were putting it on the 99xlt.
 












I did the 2' body lift on my 96 and ran into some problems at the radiator, but they were easily solved. First off, the upper right drop bracket ran into the upper radiator hose...I cut the factory shroud flange off and used a right angle bracket there instead. Second, the lower mounting flanges did not permit the shroud to fit snug against the radiator...again, I cut them off and used the kit-supplied bracket to mount the lower part of the shroud flush up against the radiator. Other that that, I had not other problems mounting the shroud or keeping the engine temp down. Let me know if you have any more questions on the 2' lift.
