How difficult was it to do? I have been contemplating doing it. I did one on my bronco II and it took me all day. It was teadeous, but not dificult.

Looks like you move your radiator, what else do you have to move? I've been thinking of doing the body lift before my coil and plug change so access to the back ones will be easier.

Looks great. Ive been wanting to throw a 4" suspension on mine on top of the body lift. What size tires are you running?

Radiator doesnt move. Just easier to complete the lift when you take the radiator out.

its not technically "difficult".. its fairly easy to do.. just follow the directions.. its more time consuming than anything because you have to do a bunch of little things other than actually "lifting it". This body lift turned into a all weekend project unfortunately. friday saturday and sunday. if i didnt run into all the problems I did like front core support body bolt heads snapping off and two on the bed bolts stripping out and little stuff that came up.... it prob would have taking me about a one day project doing it myself

i ended up not taking the radiator out.. the only reason you needed to take your radiator out was to make enought room to take the fan shroud out to cut the top and bottom mounting tabs on them. I ended up taking a dremal and cutting the tabs in the engine compartment

these are 35"s on a 16 inch rim

correcto!

I'm not understanding that, the radiator doesn't move or get rebracketed? then why do you have to mess with the shroud? I remember on my radiator change my shroud slipped inside the bottom brace with tabs and connected on top with them clippy things (ok, now i'm gonna have to go look tommorrow). Other than the frame dropping away from the body (which it has like one inch rubber now), only the top would be affected??? Heheh still trying to wrap my mind around what happens.
