Well, I just finished my 2" body lift. Did it myself, made all pieces out of scrap stock and it didn't cost me a thing but time. Just a few things I wanted to share for anyone else thinking about going the same route.
The left front brake line needs to be pulled loose from the L bracket on the strut tower.
I had enough slack in the brake lines above the mount at the frame that I didn't need to remove the mount from the frame.
The front end of the steering shaft needs to be loosened and free-sliding on the splines while you're lifting the body. This turned out to be pretty important as with it tight, it caused the whole body to shift forward as it was lifted until I loosened it. Don't forget to tighten it back up once the body lift is in and tightened down.
I had to drill out almost half of the headlight retaining screws. They were rusted so badly. But the body mount bolts came right apart.
The air box tube will stretch, but the plastic legs of the airbox were weak on mine and broke while I was working on getting the tube on and off.
After all was said and done, the Tracker wouldn't start. Found a connector at the back of the tank for the fuel pump that was routed under the rear tank support crossmember and it pulled apart during the lift.
My fuel filler hose was long enough and soft enough that I didn't even bother to loosen it. It stretched just fine.
You have to be careful where you put the jacks and use longish blocks of wood to distribute the load to avoid pushing up the floor.
The shifters worked fine in mine without extending them, except on the drive home from the shop, I noticed that the tranny would jump out of 2nd, 4th and reverse by itself. The culprit turned out the be the shift boot in the console. With it squashed down 2", it would bunch up under the shifter and push the stick forward. I have it pulled up and out of the console for now until I can modify it to work right.
With the Calmini Header, I had extended the wire to the O2 sensor. Turned out I hadn't extended it enough as I had to disconnect it until the job was finished.
Other than running out of welding wire half-way through the job and various other problems unrelated to the trucklet(it was a monday, for sure!) everything else went pretty smoothly. I'll get a couple pics up later tonight after I go take some. Next up will be a set of Bronco rims with 30x9.5" MT's. Like I said, I just wanted to share my experiences with it for anyone else contemplating doing their own body lift.
Here's some pics of it next to a stocker I found in a parking lot:
