1 inch body lift: anybody build one?
« on: January 14, 2009, 09:25:59 PM »
I am not that big of a fan of body lifts after I had a calmini 3" on my 2 door kick. Now I have a 96 4 door and only plan on running 31's tires. I don't like cutting or bashing the inside of my fenders.  I am hoping  that with the rock molester lift (around 2.5-3 in)and maybe a 1" body lift I can get the 31's to fit.

I have the UHMV materail to make the body lift I am just concerned that the bolts/studs are not long enough.So has anyone made a 1" body lift?

i have an '89 2door kick, so mabe some difference, but i did a 1 1/8" body lift by replacing the lower mount bushing w/a thinner one and adding bushing on top.
i made doughnuts out of some old conveyor belt material. stacked same amount on frame where there were other mount cushions- no fasteners and they are still there.
mabe something similar on yours?
'89 kick w/little motor, still got pieces of jeff's pucks, stan's sticks into 4.24:1 tcase, 31x10.5x15's, rear lockrite, kick power steering, some radios(kj6esv), bmw seat, other changes just because. done on the cheap.
