Anyone know of any problems with installing a 1-2'' body lift with the auto trans?

Thank you! More parts are getting ordered soon. I might need a new engine sooner than expected. I think I am starting to hear some knocking...BAH!

At 1", generally no issues with the A/T linkage, at 2" and above, you need the bracket kit, as noted above:

Here is the full 3" bracket kit installed:

What if I do your body lift (2'') and your drivetrain lift? Would I still need your bracket kit?

you would not need that bracket because relative to the body, the drivetrain (including tranny and shifter) are at the same levels if you do a 2" drivetrain lift...

Correct, if you raise the transmission an amount equal to the body lift it is is if there were no body lift, same deal with the radiator brackets, radiator goes up with the body and the engine fan goes up with the engine, negating the offset of the lift.
