I installed a RC BL today and it is an easy install. Teraflex is twice as expensive and pressing out the studs takes a couple of seconds for each mount with a shop hammer. Plus the RC lift comes with new rear bumper brackets so your bumper isn't exposing your seams in the rear...
Full disclosure, I installed the Poly Performance 1" BL on mine in 2010 and initially thought pressing out the studs would be a big deal too. It isn't.

im glad you were able to, but i found it to be a pita
i dont think their bracket works on aftermarket bumpers.
also if you really want the bumper bracket they sell it alone.
i personally think the rc lift kit was a pos, but at a great price point for those willing to F*ck with it
not for me though

Good review. I have the teraflex BB and have considered their body lift, but it's pricey for what it is. I feel like I could piece together a body lift with parts from the hardware store haha. Thanks again.

forgot about updating this
the install was a breeze
followed the provided instructions
the only thing that was lacking from them was torque specs for the body bolts, but that was easy to find on me own
the extra 1.25" was well worth it
after purchasing then selling after not installing rough countrys body lift i can def say that teraflexes kit runs circles around rc's
with the teraflex use dont have to try to reuse any of your old hardware
they give you all new stuff
so no banging bolts out of body mounts or grinding washers down
it took us about an hour or so in a dark driveway
the extra 1.25" helped me get that little bit of extra tire room for upward travel that i needed/wanted
plus it took my 2.5" suspension lift and made it look like a 3.75" lift without raising my center of gravity any more or increasing and steering or drive line angles any more.
people who say body lifts are crap are wrong (unless theyre talking about a pos kit and/or one that is like 6" tall)
1.25" does not leave a noticeable body gap AT ALL
most of the guys in my club didnt even know i had installed a body lift, they thought i took off my 2.5 and added a 4".
i give the lift kit by teraflex a 9.5 out of 10
would've been a 10 if the price was a little less, but i understand they have their name on it and it was done right.
thanks teraflex!

Anybody got any pics of an auto interior after a body lift. Curious to see how much shorter the shifter/4wd shifters are. And issues shifting. I have the drake knobs, and I think there maybe some clearance issues.

Manuals need the adapters/trimming. There shouldn't be any noticeable difference for autos. At least I didn't see anything when I had the 1.25" RC body lift installed.
