Title: biggest body lift with least hassle???
Post by: ddevil on May 08, 2006, 03:17:16 PM
ok so what is the biggest body lift i can do to my tracker without the need to make adjustments to my gear shift lever(stadard transmission) or steering column.  like for instance if i were to do a 2" body lift would i still have to heat/bend etc the gear shift and extend the steering column or would i be good to go?  i don't want a big body lift anyway as i've decided to go with a boondox 3" suspension lift but i'd still like an extra 1" or two.  TIA

I believe that the 2" BL requires no extensions of shifters, hoses, etc... The 3" does require you to bend/extend shifters, extend filler hoses, some even require steering shaftextension, etc.... So for completely hassel free install I think the 2" would be much easier. If you want to read up on them from the distributors web sites, Calmini (www.puresuzuki.com) offers a good 3" Bodylift and Rocky-Road offers a 2" Body Lift (www.rocky-road.com). I know others offer BL's to but I am not sure who all does  :-\ Hawk Strictly Suzuki, Trail Tough, Sky, etc.. may also cary them.  Check out the Vendor links on the main page for more info.

Zukipilot is 100% Correct...

2INCH Body lift is ok...anything beyond that....xfr case and will have to have extended shifters....and ive read sometimes the steering will need some modifications

   I had to extend the transfer case shifter after my 2" body lift.  You could probably get away without it, but it makes it much easier to shift with the extension.  Other than that, no other adjustments were needed.
