2'' Body lift installed

I finally body lifted my runner. Heres some pics. The tires that are on it now are 30x9.5R15's but next week im getting 33x10.5R15 KM2s.

Before





During


After




The install was pretty easy. Had to grind the front bumper brackets a little and weld the shifter higher. Over all it was easy. THANKS 4CRAWLER

sweet deal, she looks great, get some 33's on there and she will be awesome... I will be doing a body lift on my runner shortly here, yours is a one year newer clone of mine, a slight shade darker. that reminds me, I have a touch-up paint pen I got and it was your color, not mine... graphite grey I think??

I think I will only do a 1" lift though, SAS will add quite a bit but need a little for the motor swap. How much did you pay for that 2" kit if you don't mind me asking? I found kits as cheap as $75, wondering what others have paid...

Looks good. Those 33s should fill the wheel wells nicely! Youll have to post up some more pics after you get the new tires.

I have no idea what the color is called haha. when you do your body lift watch out for the rubber thing that the steering shaft goes through. Mine ripped and I can hear my engine more

I paid 135 from 4crawler. It came with everything you see in the pic, blocks, bolts, rad and bumper brackets but I had to go to lowes and get some rod for the shifter.



Oh and of course Ill post some pictures when I get the new tires.

looks good! planning on re-gearing or you going to rock the stock gears? if you are then why stop at 33s? at stock you could fit that size. i think you should go 35s now that you've got the clearance for them

33's do look sick! I put my buddys tires on my truck last night to see if they would rub and man, my runner actually looks like a truck now. I cant wait for next week when im getting my 33 KM2s.

Im going to keep the stock gearing, for now. Im going to get some coil spacers and ball joint spacers in a few months.

Heres some pics of my friends 33's on my truck.




Thanks for all the positive feeback

The body lift took about 4 hours, pulled the seats and the carpet edges, grinded the bumper a little so it would mount back up. It wasnt that hard to do, just took some time.

Thanks - michael1963, they are aluminum(i think) and say "boyd" on em, Boyd coddington? They came with the truck haha. The rims that are on the 33s are mag wheels.
