Default NEW PICS ~ Got the 2" BDS BodyLift on tonight

Great install, great kit from BDS and I love how they include the rear bumper raised brackets. Manual shifter wasn't as bad as I'd thought it might be, much easier than a TJ.




Couple of flex pics from lunch, the back drivers side rear tire is up about 3" no binding or rubbing.




UPDATED with the narrow flatties from Fri night & with the front gap filler I fabricated out of alum.

That thing looks HUGE! Certainly on my to do list just a little concerned on how the front would look but your jk pulls it off. Nice.

Thanks everyone! I was concerned about the front would look too, it came out good, I'm installing an 1/8" pice of 2" aluminum from Home Depot on the front this evening painted black, that will make it look trimmed out. I'm probably going to paint it the Redrock/pearl first chance I get.

How did you keep the sliders next to the body?

the stock Rubi sliders are attached to the body, I personally don't care for that and depending on the lift I go with down the road intend to come up with bracketry to attach to the frame at the corrected height as if a bodylift didn't exist. I also figured out a way last night under the jeep to beef up the body mount locations to create an as-strong-as the frame mounted sliders. Not sure which I'll do yet.
