Well, it's basically the same as the 2.5" lift that others advertise. It will get me close to 3". That's plenty for me to clear the tires i need.

I've been toying with the same idea of adding a 1" body lift. There are a number of Pros for doing one, but the Con (for manual transmissions) of having to cut my shift boot, etc. really is holding me back at the moment.

What are your thoughts T?

Let us know when you want to tackle this Dewayne. I've got some extra vacation, and could take off a few hours to help. We need that kit on before you go to Mountainside.

On a different note, you guys considered buying a simple CB for these rides? On my Tellico trip, having one was extremely convenient. In fact, before I met up with the GA guys, I was talking to them over the CB. Helped a bunch because I thought they were ahead of me on the road to the Trailhead, but turned out they were about a mile behind - was able to slow down a tad through the twists and turns on the road to the trail. Plus they're very helpful keeping track of everyone while on the trail, not to mention the good natured banter that livens up the ride.

I have an auto....i just want a little more height withought messing with brake lines or drive shaft or any of that stuff.

i think it looks ok as long as you move the back bumper up.

Yup, I'd be all about a BL if I had an auto - especially now that I allegedly have 35s.

They're fairly simple to install from what I've read - just need to make sure your floor jack can go high enough to lift the body off the frame.
