2 inch body lift question

[eshorvath]

Im debating on giving my k-5 an additional 2 inches by doing a body lift. besides putting in the 2 inch spacers, what else is going to be done? Lengthened tubes? Steering? I want to do this all at one shot, can it be done in a day?

1 day by yourself, maybe with air tools, you will have to lengthen shift linkage, and readjust your Ebrake cable other than that should be ok /forums/images/graemlins/waytogo.gif

I have a manual trans, so no linkage, how hard to adjust the linkage of the transfer case?

no adjusting. Just make sure the shift levers are clear of the floor pan. Might have to trim a little but most likely not

If your tailgate has lift-assist springs they may interfere with the lift. You might need to disconnect them for a 2" lift anyway.

Yep and it will look goofy too...also you will find out how heavy that tailgate is. /forums/images/graemlins/smile.gif

After while that 2" gap between the body and bumpers will drive you nuts. Took me about 8 hours to lift both my bumpers the right way.
