What Parts Do I need to install Performance Accessories 2" BL??

Alright I should be getting my 2" PA Body lift this week for my 98 4Runner. What all are the extra parts I need? I know I need more grade 8 bolts, what sizes do I need tho? Also what do I need to extend the fuel lines? What am I forgetting?

Fuel lines are fine, no extensions necessary. 7" bolts worked fine for me. &" grade 8 are very hard to find though, I had to use Nutty.com. Just need to fab up some brackets for your bumper. And find a welder to cut and weld the extensions for your shifters (if it's a 5spd). Check my website for pics and more info.

Grade 5 should be fine I just go with better safe than sorry. Don't forget you won't be able to lower your spare via the bumper hole anymore. Also one thing to consider that happened to me. While whelling one time I came down off a rock ledge really hard on my front end one time, the body shifted forward about half inch and now all the boddy bolts go through at a slight angle. Doesn't seem to affect anything else so I haven't worried about correcting it, just know that you are setting yourself up for some things such as these.

Ahh yeah forgot about the cables. Just open up the cover (couple of screws), cut the wires and add in a couple of inches. Be sure to use at least the same gauge of wires that you're splicing in. I really think you're wasting your money having a shop make brackets for you, their just some square pieces of steel with four holes drillen in them, but it's your wallet. I'm not sure what you're gonna have to do with the auto tranny.

You sure you wont have to have some sort of brackets for the AT at 2"? At 1" on my 96, I had the AT linkage adjusted as far as it would go. There diddnt seem to be any slack left. Have a look

Just found out the BL was shipped today so looks like I can order some grade 8 bolts from nutty.com, what diameter do I need and do they come in a box or what? What all should I order from them?
