Thats a postcard pic for sure

For the old X's and Front Shrocks...just drill new holes in the mounting plates to raise the bumper...for the rears...they come with BOTH std and 2" BL height mounting holes already...so no gap problems either way.

For stock bumpers...the front can be raised with a couple of pipe sections and a few bolts, and the rear can be raised by simply drilling new holes in the bumper to raise it (Someone mentioned an even easier way to raise the rear bumper 2", they said to just flip and reverse the bumper mounting brackets...but I never tried it)



If you REALLY want to know what your truck looks like 2" higher, just put a jack under it and jack it up 2"...that's pretty much it.

Thanks for the info, TJ! The Nexterra guys have been doing some 2" BL's a lot lately, I just need to find some time and some helpful Nexterrites to tell me what to do!

Is there a 2" BL on this X?

wow, talk about massive amounts of rear articulation TJ.

I believe TJ has the revolver shackles on his X..

heres my x with 2" body lift and without a relocated bumper.


and here it is with a 2" bl shrock

I like the 2nd pic better. :p

Looks good!

I like the look of the Shrock with the center hoop only. looks awsome

Not to hi-jack this thread, but those of you with a 3" SL and 2" BL, can you park in a standard height garage or are you stuck outside now?

EDIT TO ADD: That is without any extra racks on top.

Yep.

Yep.

Revolver shackles are amazing....no downside...just droop.





Taken while doing some measurements for suspension mods.

Damn TJ is a 60" HiLift high enough to change out a flat?

I try not to get flats that I have to change the tire.



I blow a bead once in a while....I use the OBA to re-seat it.

BTW - the 48" hi-lift is why the truck is up on the left, its hooked into the slider to lift it....I was doing some suspension measurements and that's why the right side tire is on a ramp, and the left side is jacked up.

I can barely, BARELY, squeeze into a friend's standard garage with a 2" BL, PML and 33" tires.

EDIT: I can do it after I take my Surco roof rack off and leave the stock one on.

Yep I also barly fit into my garage.

Now here's a REAL body lift.

I bet you could easily run 44's with that set up.

Only if front and back bumper are relocated....it's so awkward I can't look away.

See!!!! The step rails are useless!!! :p

The more and more I see the body lift the more I want one, damn why do they have to be so difficult to install.

I agree. I've been seeing pictures for a long time. 12/2 is the mod day to install the sucker!

I hear ya, the more I read about it the more I want to do it!

They aren't THAT difficult...damn, if a 19 yr old girl who never wrenched in her life could do one by herself in her driveway in one day....you should be able to knock one out in a weekend.

A 19 year old girl? Is that still legal in Jersey?
