The Official "Elcova" H2 Body Lift thread (for those who say it can't be done).

i crawled under my h2 yesterday and really debated this.
my only concern is i have bad corrision/rust becuase i bought my h2 from up north, IF i did this i would have to do alot of paint work to the frame or it would look like a dumpster.
im good with a rattle can but it would take me a loong time to do it right.
any recomendations on frame treatment?

Yea I got some surface rust to take care of too. POR30 can applied right on rust, I would still wire brush the bulk off first though.

Did the shift linkages have to be adjusted or modified in any way for 2" BL? With my TJ, there was a bracket I installed to make it work. Cheers

Nope, it's a cable.

bimmer, did you modify your tailpipe or did that lift up with the rear clip?

Exhaust mounts to frame not body, so it stayed in the same location.

so whats the max tire size you think you could fit with 2" body lift and stock wheel?
i measured the space at full lock and i could fit 38x13.50 with 4.0 backspacing(my current backspace) without any issues. i was wondering your thoughts tho becuase every truck is different.
