DONE! I have re-drilled rear shock mount 2” higher, =more clearance and 2” lift.

@BigMeatsBronco and @Parcsalooc Nice, can you share which exact lift components are you each running up front?

I'm at about 1.75-2" lift above Sasquatch...
I used the common 3/4 aluminum spacer above the coilovers, also a 3/8 spacer on lower shock mount (I'm removing these soon)
took shocks apart and trimmed ALOT off bump stops and reinstalled. dropped front diff 1.5" to keep the CVs the same angle as OEM. I have 12"+ front travel using OEM coilovers.

@BigMeatsBronco I'm very interested in your Rear Shock Mount adjustment and Front Diff Drop to either find a shop in AZ that would be willing to do both for me. As much as I would love to do this myself I think I just like the piece of mind of someone that has a little more technician experience then myself. I can def do alot of basic and easier stuff but something like this might feel more comfortable with someone of expertise in modifications.

Very nice @BigMeatsBronco
How did you drop the front diff? Did you just purchase or fabricate spacers? If so what size? Thanks!

Doing this tomorrow. It’s surprising how little info is out there. Anyways, this is going to be matched up front with my Broncbuster 1 1/2 perch collar lift and swaybar removed. Still have rear sway bar.

Nice How’d it go? Do you have pics or additional suggestions. I’ll be doing this very soon.

I like this mod and have been thinking of ordering a set of the Barnes 4wd rear shock mounts and sectioning them higher. I like the thicker steel and brace. Either that or make my own mount.

Great job on the mod and it looks like a great way to gain some lift and ground clearance with minimal compromise.

Reviving an old thread... I completed this on my badlands last night and have a lot of nay-sayers lol. ooh you are ruining the warranty... totally unsafe.. blah blah blah.

I had the idea a few months back, but never acted upon it.. searched the internet and found your thread and solidified my choice. Thanks for pioneering so many cool ideas! Im letting it settle for a few days, then chopping off the excess for the additional ground clearance.

Before with a 2" front level (perception of being squatted, yet rear is 1/4 to 1/2" taller than front):

After (only went for about 1 3/4" increase in height):
