change anything else when installing 1\" body?

what all did you have to change when doing a 1"body lift? as many know I'm changing body mounts and if you all didn't have to change much else I figured I'd go machine some 1"pucks at works if you didn't have do to much else. Brake lines, OEM shifter, fan shroud etc etc. What did it entail? Cold rolled steel pucks OK?

All you need is longer bolts and a small extension rod for the PRNDL(shifter). I bought a 3" for my truck for cheap, you might as well go with a 2" kit that comes with everything needed and light weight plastic spacers. /forums/images/graemlins/burb.gif

I used 1.25" machine blocks. I also added new poly bushings (added about an 1" over the worn out rubber bushings)
I added in 1.5" U channel between the top and bottom sections of the fan shroud and used bolts to hold it together. I had to adjust the transfercase shift linkage and moved some cooling/trany lines. Other than that nothing big to report other than some nice clearence.
You can kind of see in the lower left corner of the pic, if you want I can post up a better pic.

Every truck is different,but here's what I had to do.
Trim the fan shroud
Cut the tailgate springs
Adjust the t-case linkage
Good Luck! /forums/images/graemlins/rotfl.gif
