Default Body lift is on!!!!

Well I finally bit the bullet and bought a 2 inch body lift. Man it turned into a PITA putting it on but well worth the results. Me and a buddy of mine put it on this weekend. Here's some pics, enjoy.

I got the kit through P&E in Goodlettsville TN for 260. It took from about 3 till ten on Saturday, and that got the majority of it. Then from 1 to 4 on Sunday to finish the back bumper and the oil filter relocation brackets. No welding or fabricating, didn't have to use some of the parts like the fuel filler extention and front bumper brackets.
And yes that is with a 1.5" t-bar crank and shackles.
Thanks for all the compliments. If anybody has any questions I'll do my best to answer.

Congrats, lifting and lowering gets addictive tho. I haven't had my BL but for a few months and already looking for axles to SAS. Don't even have tags on the noma and looking at lowering stuff.

Man that looks good. A 2" body lift does make a world of difference doesn't it. My brother and I just put a body lift on mine just this past week; I know what you mean about it being a PITA!

Thanks man. Yeah it does make a lot of difference. But man it wore me out. At least if I have to do another one, I'll know how to go about doing it quicker lol
Oh and totally agree with the lifting/lowering ting being addictive, shoot mine has been up and down since I bought it
