Nice write-up.
Lifting the bumpers the same amount (as the body lift)looks so much nicer, and increases the approach angles by a small amount. That is the next step, but Mark will have pictures of it done on his truck a good time before mine.

Uh yeah, we saw that in the original post.
I just want to tell you both good luck, and we're all counting on you.

Uh yeah, we saw that in the original post. Saved me some time. <img src="/forums/images/graemlins/smile.gif" alt="" /> I was just getting ready to look for someone who did a body lift just to figure out how many and where the mounts are. I'm just about ready to start taking my Raider body off for the 350 and full size Chevy frame swap. <img src="/forums/images/graemlins/kewl.gif" alt="" />

Nice work.
Leave the top shroud on. It helps...I think.
Recently did a 2" on the '95. It's much easier on a SWB.

Nice write up Eli <img src="/forums/images/graemlins/kewl.gif" alt="" /> Could you have just raised the rear bumper and not needed to make those cut outs? Last time I looked at mine in the shop I don't thin I had those cut outs or blocks showing. Hmmm... now I am wondering if they even installed mounts in those locations <img src="/forums/images/graemlins/confused.gif" alt="" /> lol

You may be able to drill new holes, but my memory is fuzzy on that. Nice work.

John B. Yeah I left the top shroud half on because it does help with air flow. I still at some point need to do the radiator drop so I can get the lower half of the shroud back on (if it is still laying around somewhere at Mark's house).
