1 inch Body Lift Installed *PICS*
Got my 1” Body Lift installed a couple weeks ago. Purchased the steering extension from 4Crawler Off Road.
I also took a page out of Steve’s book at Sonoran Steel and installed a set of rear fender liners to cover the gap created by the BL
. I then sprayed undercoating over the liners and the wheel wells to make every thing blend together. More info on what Steve did can be found here: Click Me.
I’m very pleased with the overall results of the BL and Fender Liners
. Pictures below:

Here’s some info on the rear fender liners that I used to cover the gap created by the BL:
- Wheel House Seals (2), Part No. 65675-89111
- Clips (9), Part No. 90467-A0003
These Liners have 5 holes in each. I had to create an extra hole on the passenger side fender…so I used a total of 6 clips on that one. However, for the driver side fender, I only used 3 clips. I used 2 existing clips that hold the gas tank filler cover to the body.

On his website only 3rd gen's (and newer) call for an extention with a 1" BL. I got one with the kit I ordered last year from 4Crawler. Easy Install!
The Lift looks great RockSlide. Nice Rig!

The gap with the bumper doesn't look bad either, I was a bit worried but looks fine. I have a T15 for my 96 T4R so I wasn't sure about the 1" BL but now I am. Do you have a suspension lift as well and if so what are you running?

how much did the 1 inch body lift cost? how much does it usually run to have them installed too? i have been debating about a very small lift like a body lift. i wonder if they make a 1/2 inch body lift lol.. the only reason why i want one is so that my 265/75/16's wont rub at full flex and the wheel turned.

yea gap guards always make stuff with body lift look ten times better IMO, i had a friend with a tahoe with 2 inch body and the gap was terrible.
the only think you need now for your truck rock is to get rid of that ugly auburn sticker and tag on the back and you'll be good

if you have any tools it's pretty cheap to make the lift yourself. i think i spent about $20 on UHMW, and maybe an hour on the jigs to slice and drill it.
dangit, i had a pic of all my pucks but i have no idea where it is. oh well, they look identical to all the other ones :d

i've been considering the 1" BL for a lil time now, but with my new ARB it sits so nice flush... i feel like i don't want to ruin that, how are you dealing with it? or are you just over it.. hah... i have 275/70/16 and still rubs with my SAWs... dunnno so i wanted to get a 33" mud tire, and i figured a 1"BL would give it just enough room to be happy... anywho looksgood!
