Default Body lift tips or advice? trying to get info for anyone doing a Bodylift !!?!?!!?!

i searched around but all i really found is people asking what a body lift is how its done etc.

im probably doing mine tonight or atleast starting it, 2000 blazer ZR2 its the 2 inch PA body lift i have the directions and i know how to do it im just seeing if any one has DONE one and know what problems you run into besides the body mounts i have been soaking them with PB Blaster.

So anything need to be extended cut moved?????????

-Fan shroud
-air intake (i have cold air no problems here)
-gas tank filler neck
-brake lines

ANY grounds? wiring or anything in engine bay Please comment with input

Thanks

fan shroud ( should have hardware)
gas filler (lots of people don't bother)
brakes (should only have to unclip a couple of places and zip tie in place)

good hint for you:
loosen all bolts to insure they are loose. then loosen about one inch on side you will not lift yet. loosen all bolts on opposite side, use jack to lift, insert new n bolts and hand tighten. make sure they are about half and inch or so from frame, then do other side.

reason you leave bolts in on opposite side is so that the body will not slid on you

good luck
