Body lift question
Im in the process of installing a body lift on my 93 pickup.
I wondered if it was a problem that the cab was just slightly forward. I pushed and lifted it and pushed some more but couldn't get it to slide back just slightly like maybe a centimeter...any ideas? Unless you don't think it will be a problem. Maybe I'm just being a perfectionist, lol.
Here are some pics of the front two mounts (the ones just behind the front bumper) so you can see what I mean :
Drivers side
Passenger side <br/>

How much work was the installation vs the gain from 2" of lift? I'm thinking of going a little bigger for tires but I don't really want to alter the IFS because the truck is 90% daily driver. Did you have any problem with things like wiring and controls that go from the cab to the frame?

I had no problems with 2" - 4crawler off road says 2" is the most before you start having to do mods. He has an amazing write up that I used the whole way through it so I would check it out for sure. he gave me an adapter bracket for the front bumper and radiator, but i didn't even need the radiator one. Ill probably put it on soon anyway just so that i can get max efficiency from the fan though - i had to remove the lower portion of the fan shroud. I also plan to get the drive shaft 1" extension but i could get away without it TBH.

Always replace those UV-wasted rubber bits!
But fyi: 235s fit without any mods. 31s will fit now with your 2" blocks.
