RE: Trimming for a body lift
K here's some pics of what has to be trimmed installing the body lift.
The front valence has to be cut so the frame rails clear the bumper. It's a fair amount to cut out, but you can't really tell from the front of the truck once its done.
You can see here the tow hook will not fit back on without some trimming. (the hook comes out from the bottom of that frame rail)
Rear bumper has to be substantially cut...I trimmed a little deep on the one side. You can also see from the marks in the frame coating, it takes a few test fits.
Lastly, the spare tire drop hole needs to be fixed. You would have to drill a hole in the bumper about an inch and a half below the original hole. Unless you drill the hole, there IS NO WAY TO DROP YOUR SPARE. I just put my spare on the roof

nope, just 2nd gens.
If I recall...most of the first gen kits don't include bumper relocation pieces...Not sure if they are not needed or what...
