What would it take?
What would it take to do a 2 inch body lift on a first gen? Has anyone made their own body lift?? I would like to make my own. Does anyone know if I need a steering extension? Would it take anything special as far as tools? I know it would take more than a ratchet set and a few washers. How many hours would it take to do this? All help and photos are appreciated!

i have helped a buddy of mine with a body lift on his blazer he just went and bought 6 hockey pucks at big 5 for like $2 a piece and put them in. then he just fabbed up the steering and then had a friend build a new shaft for his steering. i dont know if you could do that with a first gen but it would be worth looking into its dirt cheap to do it that way.

What ever you do. DO NOT EVER use hockey pucks for a body lift. They will break over time and if you get into a wreck it's VERY unsafe. IF you do go that route though get a piece of pipe that will slide TIGHT over the pucks so they can't fall apart.

I ust want something that is on a teenager budget that I can do myself without completely taking apart the suspension mounts. I also want something that I can remove easily If I decide I dont like it. I saw one guy on a 59 Chevy Cummins swapin the forum that made a body lift with some square shaped chunks of alluminum.
