Looking for feedback whos got the best body lift ?
I have a 69 short 4x4 sort of
 I took a 71 blazer frame and a 69 2wd short leaf sprung frame and made one frame. So now I have to lift the body to make all the stuff work together. I have a really nice cab and bed also I am looking for a nice 67/8 clip (another story). and I want a body lift that is durable and not going to mess up my body mounting points to get this project on the assembly phase. Any one got any input good or bad ?

Body lifts make the bumpers look goofy. Unless you have custom tall beefy bumpers It will always look like you lifted the body.

Re: Looking for feedback whos got the best body lift ?
I did one on my '72 it was alot of work to get it right. You will need a 2" body lift and even then you may need a shimm here or there. Also rear cab mount will have to be moved or like I did I mounted the cab mount next to blazer mount in case I ever wanted to use frame for a blazer again. Performance Accessories I believe is who I used and they were fine. Search body lift and then see who has best deal.They only wholesale......good luck, Rick

Yeah I got like a 3" on my '79 looks kinda goofy but I am not too worried about it. I think its from performance accessories.

You will need to use at least 2" unless you want to cut back of cab. The frame comes up right behind cab mount pm your e-mail and I'll send pic's of what it will look like. Actually front bumper came out on a nice line along bottom of grill.......Rick
