yeah that's why I had said I don't know how well they actually hold up. But I have seen it done before.

Typical kits for the vehicle listed below:
- http://www.4crawler.com/4x4/ForSale/...l#Gen-III-Full

Kit D would be the basic kit of lift blocks and longer body mount hardware.

And you click on the link below for ordering options:

even just a 1" lift can have some side issues. The thing about dealing with Roger and his most excellent website- 4crawler.com is the outstanding support he provides for everything he sells.

Read all the website, print it out if you like and read it again. Some things that might occur are:

1/ shifter binding-mentioned and solved on the site.
2/ radiator fan/shroud clearance-mentioned and solved on the site.
3/ steering shaft extension-mentioned and solved on the site.

Your vehicle obviously different than mine-but the peace of mind of doing something right the first time overwhelms any potential cost savings. Roger has already invented this wheel- to coin an expression-and perfected it.

Any issue I had while doing mine he answered in almost real time. I can't promise he'll be able to do the same for your body lift, but his incredible attention to detail is a huge time saver and sanity restorer.
