Default Anyone have the BDS 2" body lift?

I am interested in the BDS 2" body lift. I have a standard and was wondering what other mods are involved with this install i.e. trimming shift boot, fan shroud, steering shaft, etc. Any info/pics would be greatly appreciated...

I have the BDS 2" lift and LOVE it! I put rubber in the rear wheel wells looks Great hard to tell it is a body lift.

I have a 2.5" tf bb and the bds 2" BL
All there is to do is the steering extension and put a rubber hose around a hard line to keep it from chaffing.
I did end up trimming my boot and notching a little of the metal around it.
I couldn't move my bumper up because it isn't stock, so I made a filler plate.

I went to a hardwear shop and bought some flat stock. It was a foot wide and as long as you needed it cut. Check out a Farm store the should have trailer floor that should work.

Thanks folks. Right now I am running a 2.5 BB and 33's. I have been considering the 2" bodylift to clear 35's. Any pics with this combo? 33's or 35's.Click image for larger version
