1" body lift installed (Lots of pics)
 

I installed a 1" body lift this weekend and wanted to share some pictures and insight. First, the kit was not purchased from a sponsor. It was came with poly graphite spacers, bolts and loctite and took me less that 2 hours to install by myself, with no special tools. The hardest part was trimming around the shifter.

Here is a before pic (Original tires, too):

John, what are the all the specs for ur rig. What size tires are you running there?

Rides nice and here are some specs
 

It rides great! Opening the back is now a 2 step operation but I am OK with that. It is still pretty easy.

Aussie Locker for the front sitting on my workbench

Why is opening the back a 2 step process now?

what kind of lift? brand?

Is that the Daystar BL?

Body lift brand
 

It is a Performance Accessories lift

Opening the tailgate
 

First, you swing the tire out of the way and then you open the tailgate

Avoiding contact
 

The rubber bumpers that keep the spare from rattling on the factory mount are used by the LoD carrier to keep it from rattling. They also keep the tailgate from hitting the carrier arm when they are open.

For an auto would there be similar mods?
