RE: Body lift install
1. use the BDS instructions
2. dont forget to take off the ground strap on the passenger side firewall, by the hood.
3. dont try to remove the filler neck till after you get the lift pucks in. Disconnect, but do not remove till lifted...much easier
4. The directions go through a pretty lengthy process of relocating and dropping the (+) dist. block beneath the battery. Mine had plenty of slack and did not need to be even loosened.
5. The body mount bolts will be on pretty tough, mine came off easily with 2' of pipe on the end of a 3/4' drive ratchet (I didnt pre-soak with PB blaster)
Those were the big ones for me...I'm sure others have found a few tricky spots as well
Take before and after pics!

RE: Body lift install
im in the process of re-installing everything after the lift. Did you have any problems with the radiator hose inlet on the left hitting the belt.
