Just curious, it looks like 2" looks doable with the body lift. With the old jeep/k5 style we could do sometimes up to 6" but I'm not pushing anything. Brand new tires, brakes, exhaust, and an uncertainty about steering geometry. What do you guys think about the lift? Body spacing might be an issue any ideas about that? Free for all let me have it...

 

We sell body lifts all the time for the D2. They cove in 1.25 inch or 2 inch.

 

why not install a proper 2" spring lift?

 

Fivespddisco- Thanks for the info, what kind of suspension dynamics? hilltoppersx if im going to do that I'm going for a 4-6" lift. Then beyond that a ifs/ir with chopped fa or some dana 60+. Again, always give me opinions/ ideas

 

Really? A two inch lift is completely doable with stock everything but springs/shocks. The effort to install "hockey pucks" is almost as much to install 2" lift springs and shocks. What's your end goal?

 

i have a set of 5" RTE springs for sale if you're interested. They will fit your d1 not your d2.

 

Fish- More looking for a project that will keep me from buying another truck, so thats really the end goal. As far as the lift it was just an idea that came about yesterday afternoon when I was under the disco and saw the suspension looking like it had a bunch of travel left in it on flat ground and no load. Thats why I was thinking the pucks and itd be a quick cheap job. Hill- D1 is gone now and I'm trying to avoid refilling the stable. The lift is going in hopefully

 

By "end goal" I meant what do you want to be able to do with the truck? Or what size tires do you want to fit? Something like that. If you're just bored I'd try puzzles or video games. Much cheaper in the long run.

What do you mean "suspension looked like it had a bunch of travel left in it"? A stock truck on stock tires is supposed to have a fair amount of both uptravel and downtravel while at rest. Spacers will not effect the travel in the front end due to the shocks mounting on top of the perch(spacers go under the perch). Your shock travel will be effected in the rear though. When you fit the spacer in the rear you're basically reducing your shock downtravel by the same amount as you spaced.

 

I'm not very good at gaming haha but I do like puzzles. End game would probably be just driving around its my DD so I cant do anything ridiculous. Maybe just a little higher stance. A lift for 40"s would be pretty sweet but that would get a new everything. I'd have to crawl under again and check but I meant that the lift would fit with everything stock minus the actual body mount bolts.
