is anyone superlifted with 1-2" bl?

im wanting just a bit more height but dont want the full 3" on top of the superlift because i dont plan on running 35s and regearing. does anyone have a pic of a superlift and 1" or so on 33s?

If you want to run 35's I suggest the 3" BL. That is the only heoght body lift there is anyway. Also what gearing do you currently have?

I know 2" kits exist.

yea not gonna run 35s, i have 4.10 gears. ive seen 33s with a 3" bl and a superlift but it looks funky so i was hoping someone has maybe thrown a 1 or 2" on and still used 33s.

There is like ZERO difference between stock and a 1in. It's just a little extra wiggle room when flexing. So a superlift and a 1in BL with 33s should look fine.

youll notice the extra inch. superlift with 33s and a 1 inch will look perfect.

you get the 1x3 blocks from Performance Accessories and then buy your own bolts.

http://www.shopatron.com/products/pr...1.1.0.0.0.0.0? blocks

The 1inch bodylift thread in the bodylift section will tell you all the bolts you need to buy.

3 inch brackets wont work. for the front you do the bumper mod. for the rear you can mod the brackets for the rear bumper to fix the gap.

front with 1 inch after bumper mod.


rear with modified bumper brackets.
