That did sound kinda snippy but I didn't mean to sound so uppity before, but you know what I mean!

 

FYI you can do a 2" on a 2nd Gen and not have to extend anything except your shifters.

 

Lamm, trust me, there is no way doing a body lift is harder than a suspension lift, especially if your talking about converting to coils from leafs. With leafs you don't have to worry about side-to-side movement of your axle, because the springs themselves keep the axle in place (bolted to frame front and rear, axle bolted between springs). With coils, if you simply attached the coils to the axle and then to the frame, the axle would slop around all over the place as the coils flexed up and down and all around, which is why you have to put in the panhard and all kinds of other stuff. No way you could get it done by someone else for $1300.

A body lift is not hard to do at all, I did mine in a day-and-a-half, all alone, with 4" suspension already in place, and it was a 3" bodylift. If the mud under your rig worries you, get into some grungy clothes and get under there with a hose and knock it all off. My bodylift came with brackets to lift the stock bumpers to match the body. My lift is from Performance Accessories, but if I knew then what I know now I would buy from Roger Brown, nobody puts more thought or effort into their products and he is a good guy, he might even be able to fab up some brackets to lift your bumper to match. I have seen guys use everything from diamond plate to sheets of rubber to cover the gap between bumpers and bodies if they didn't raise the bumper.
