Thoughts on Body Lifts with the broncos IFS

[ITLRUN]

Any update to this?

These are the correct thread pitch. They are 192 mm long (approximately 2.25” longer than stock).

I did a small 1/2" body lift last night. The process was crazy easy and reused my stock bolts. My wife was against the idea, so I have started really small. Once she gets used to the look, I'll either go to 3/4" or 1". The "A" shots are before. The "B" shots are after. It is a very subtle difference, but I could tell the difference getting back in the truck. lol

Sorry for the off-topic, but how's the road noise on those General Grabbers compared to stock 35s?

Let me think of how to eloquently put this... They are LOUD. lol

Could be a dumb question but are these “too” long for just a 1” body lift?

I do believe they’d be too long.

Has anyone with an under hood ARB twin compressor done a body lift? I'm curious what modifications need to made to the compressor mount...

Haven't considered this. I have a 1/2” lift waiting for the weather to warm up to install. Next time I get a chance I might run out and poke around. I need to redo the air lines on the compressor anyway.

I’m installing my custom .75” body lift Friday but just saw BroncBusters instagram post with a new body gap light bar they are testing and plan for production for both 1.5 and 3” body lifts. Looks incredible and super functional. I’ll 100% go to 1.5” when they release this thing.

Did you guys unhook your fender liners when doing the body lifts or is there enough slack for my .75” lift? @Bird Dog Overland

I didn’t have to touch them

Installed my custom .75” body lift. This is on top of my 2.3” front 1.6” rear suspension lift. As others have said extremely easy. I used the long fastenal bolts bird dog recommended just because I bought them and figured I’d use them. I’ll get some before and after shots tomorrow.

On page one, couldn't disagree more I NEED 38's for where I wheel I'm planning on a 3" body lift bumper brackets and a 3" suspension lift, need -21 offset wheels as well I believe mine will see big rocks to crawl.... already put a long scrape down the skid plates...

Finished the 3/4" body lift today, I cut the spacers out of a piece of flat uhmw stock with a hole saw and drilled them. I think I have less than 50 bucks into it with the two front bolts.

I was worried it would be noticeable and you really can't tell unless you know.

Finally got a chance to get my 1/2” lift installed. I planned on putting a spacer in between the plate and the mounting bracket but after installing the lift there was easily enough play that I could just bolt the two back together without a spacer. No problem at all. If you’re planning to go bigger you made need to work out some type of spacer but I’m not sure.

Thanks for the followup - glad to hear that it works.
