Body lifts

So again been searching and searching and I have more questions? I want to put a 1" body lift but I know with body lifts you need to do steering column, radiator, bumpers, and shifter. Do you have do the shifter and radiator with only a 1" body lift and are body lifts hard to install? I did the Toytech spacer lift and a AAL but I had to change by rear springs because I had broken leaf spring and they were pretty easy. Is Body lift just as easy or easier? I also have a K&N cold air intake and was wondering you can can fab up some mounts for the lower drivetrain.

He'll have all your answers. I just ordered mine last week, and it's going on Monday! I've never done one,but a friend of mine said we should have it done in a couple of hours tops. And your truck will be easier than my 4runner.

1" wont require much work overall, trimming the ran shroud or moving the radiator will do nicely.

body lifts are pretty straight forward, easy to install.

you won't need to mess with the radiator. i didn't, even with a 1.5" lift. only thing i had to extend was the steering column.

edit: mess with it other than removing the lower fan shroud that is.

1" lift is easy. Go for it. Roger Brown's kits have awesome instructions and gobs of people on here have them and could answer questions you might have.

You can remove the lower radiator fan shroud just by removing some clips. It comes off real easy. As for the rest of it, you dont have to sweat much else.
