PICTURES of my body lift, but need HELP !!!
I am especially looking for anyone who has a 1999 model/limited that installed a 4 crawler BL. This lift is 2inches and I am having an issue with the front bumper... It looks like I will need to drill one additional hole in the bumper bracket for a more secure fit... However, the bumper still needs to go back about 1/2 inch to 3/4 inch.
Please see my photo album to see whats going on... the album is labled BODY LIFT. Please read the info below the pictures for a detailed description.
Please help anyone.....
Thanks.

I installed a 1" 4crawler BL a few months ago. Granted I have an ARB and the use of a lift, but the directions and the install are simple. Take your time and READ the instructions. If you can change your oil, you can do this....

Hey guys... First off I want to say how much Roger Brown has been a help to me, I know I bugged the hell out of him and he worked with me 100%.
My 2inch lift went in without any hoses breaking, etc. I might have to trim alittle off the bottom of the front bumper. (very very minor trim) I wont know for sure until I get my hands on a bigger drill since I still need to tap 2 more holes on the bumper bracket.
I tried to handle the front bumper on my own this morning and I will tell you to GET HELP! I scratched the hell out of it and it looks bad. One person needs to hold the bumper while the other screws in the bolts. (totally my fault). I will now try and see if I can get my bumper scratches fixed.
Read the directions fully. I do recommend to put the new bumper brackets onto the front bumper first, then mount it to the frame, rather than putting the brackets on the frame first. ( I started to do this then realized I goofed.)
So far things seem to be ok with a few minute tweeks, I will take some final finshed pictures within a day or two...
Good luck, and be sure to spray your factory bolts well, especially on the steering. They were tight getting out due to rust.
