Hmm, another disappointing waste of time last weekend. The studs fit through the holes just fine this time, but they're so long that they hit the top of the bolt that attaches the spacer to the frame. The only option would be to grind the studs down which seems kind of sketchy to me. I'm on the verge of ordering Sky's 2" body lift kit. So far trying to do things the cheap way has cost me:

$20- 48" long 2x3 3/16" thick tube
$18- grade 8 bolts
$10- useless extra bolts and washers and other hardware
2 Saturdays I could have been working or wheeling
1 big freakin headache

Not too impressive

Go 3"inch and this is how it would go.




Both stock body bushings are used and a heck of alot better Than ANY after market avil.

Thing is I don't really want or need a 3" body lift. I'm just putting 30's on, not 31's or 32's. I already have a 1.5" spacer lift so I'm basically just doing this as a just-in-case as well as to get the rocker panels off the ground a little. I also don't want to have to extend my shifters, steering shaft, or fuel filler hose.

PS: Just ordered Sky's 2" body lift! Can't wait to get it on. HotRod, do you have a picture of the back end with the inner bumper attached? I'm not planning to run the plastic covers anymore but I was wondering how good/bad/ugly it looks with the inner bumper raised up like that.
