1" or 2" Luxlifts body lift - anyone tried them?

Postby evgenk » Wed Apr 12, 2017 2:17 pm

I know 4x4parts has a 3" body lift for our trucks but I feel that 3" is a bit much ... I've been searching for a 1" option for a while and looks like Luxlifts has it now. They offer either 1" or 2" body lift spacers:

Has anyone tried these? It doesn't look like they come with any relocation brackets like the 4x4parts version, would they still be required if say only lifting 1"?


Cheers!

I have not heard of anyone using those. You might be the first let us know.

Well, I messaged them asking if they ship internationally ... waiting for reply.

Which option did you go with? 1" or 2? Did you need any bumper relocation brackets or steering shaft extension?

Thanks!

IMO...The truck should have been at least 2" taller from the factory!
Or at least the 4x4 versions should have been.

If your considering the body lift, you should go with the 2" one as you really won't notice the 1" lift after all that work. Especially if you're running bigger tires! :wink:

I agree! Extra couple of inches would definitely help!

I am installing Rancho Quicklift this weekend and already planning the next steps. The goal is to run 34" tires which means I probably will have to get a 2" body lift.

Any other experiences with 1" body lift kit.
I just want a little more without the hassle of alignment issues on suspension.

I have about an 1" from suspension, and 1" of lift from 2" bigger tires.

As long as nothing else has to be altered. I see the fan shroud and underbody panels having issues? How were they corrected, spacers and longer bolts??
