Re: removing body lift

Typically, the stock body mounts stay in place and the pucks are just stacked on top of them, so it should be as simple as removing the body bolts and lift pucks, and replacing them with stock length body bolts. There may also be bumper extension brackets that need to be taken off in some cases, as well as transmission/transfer case/steering linkages that might need adjustment or extensions removed from them.

Will be a great time to replace the body bushings since your already there.

Re: removing body lift

i did a 2 inch body lift like 6 years ago from what i remember i did have to cut my transmission linkage and weld in a 2 inch section so probably disconnect your linkage, also i think i had to relocate my fan shroud. and for some reason i remember having to do something with my fuel tank filler hose

The hardest part is where you put in a box with my address on it
