I'm getting ready to install a 2" body lift including bushings and new hardware. I've read the great writeup WH has but am looking to the Bronco Gurus here for any advice or "good-to-knows" as I move forward with it. Thanks!
make sure you put a piece of duct tape over the hole in the frame that is directly below below the third body mount. i lost a bushing in the frame and had to cut it out because i skipped this step. you can also use the tape on the bottom of an open ended wrench to hold the nut in place.
seeing as we are talking body lifts here when installing the ones with the bl;ack plastic fiberglass impregnated things should you also use a rubber pad
Skip the chisels and the sawsall. Get a hole saw to cut the center out of the front four bushings. Takes about 30 sec to do each. The rear four can be beaten out with a hammer once the bolt is half way out.
A rubber pad? Where and what type?
I guess what I should ask is when installing a body lift what is the order of installation from the frame to the body? Thanks
WH has a good diagram here: http://www.wildhorses4x4.com/downloads/1910-1924 01-18-08.pdf
