Well had a boring long weekend, as my camping plans got ditched. So monday was nice so i decided to install my 2" body lift, thats been sitting around since january. First off, let me say i am by no means a machanic, and i am usaly scared to try new things. I am very proud of myself that i did this, and did learn a few things about the jeep in the process.
I did the install by myself so thats why it took me a while to do it, and i didn't have all the proper tools, like a vice (had to use the neighbours), and a good jack (that i had to mcgiaver something up to get the proper hieght). LOL

All in all the install took me from 11:50am - 8:40pm, and by the end i finally figured out how to take out the body bolts a bit better (go figure the last 2 bolts)

Here are some pics (next message) taken from the install, right now i still don't have my rear bumper on, so i haven't taken any pictures of the complete job.

 

??????????

 

these pics ar not the greatest, as i asked my brother to take some while i was working......










I will take some final pictures this weekend.
so far i am happy with the stance, the ride quality.

 

2" body lift? yuck.... but you def don't look like a mall crawler

 

Okay i stuck on the bumper tonight, only took 15 mins! Then decided to do some photo's of the finish install. (lots of pics)

 

Over all looks good. Front bumper gap just KILLS it

 

looks great. did you run into any technical problems with cabling or wiring or anything? I've heard people talk about lots of potential difficulties with a 2 BL.....

 

Thanks! no problems as of yet! (fingers crossed)

 

It looks good, but keep an eye on those body mounts and the body in those areas for any stress cracks, body lifts scare me, maybe they are better nowadays

 

Are you going to do something to fill in the gaps?
