Default body lift install shortcut

I know there have been many questions asked about body lifts, and I did search but could not find a good answer. I checked out the instructionsons oninstalling a PA 2" lift on an 2001 4dr 4wd on the internet. I was very disapointed with the picture quality and ease of following along with the instructions. I hope it is easier when I am actualy looking at the truck. I have "heard" that it is not necessary to disconnect all of the things that the kit instructs prior to installing the spacers. If this is indeed so what can be omitted? I am going to pick up the kit from the local summit racing after work tomorrow and hopefuly get it on Fri; so your help could save me a lot of time and trouble. I will gladly repay with pics and some do's and don'ts.

hi horny, ask summit about your body lift. they'll help u out. also check with some of the 4 wheelin company's that sell them they'll tell u straight out whats what. its alota work. your bolts are newer so it won't be hard to get them apart. i put one in a s-10 once. pain in the *****. did a 6" lift on a 3/4 ton chevy once to now that was easy!!!! just take your time it'll be SWEET when done. good luck bubba

I made a post about this when installed my body lift on my 2000 4wd 4dr at this LINK. Basically the stuff about the battery box and vacuum actuator you can ignore as well as the filler neck step, otherwise just try and follow along as best ya can. Best thing to do as well is when you are done check everything over and make sure nothing is binding, especially brake lines and oil lines as they seem to be the items that do the most moving. If you got any questions or want any pictures PM myself or you can PM Jigg too as hes got alot of insight as well.
