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

[Bimmer9938]

For those who have done the 2" Body Lift, I have some questions: What size bolts (I think the 2500HD use metric sizes M12-1.75x160mm and 80mm for the 2" body Lift...in 10.9 strength...is that correct and how many of each...also, I have searched online, but can't seem to find a store which sells these. Any help here?). Also, how many lift pucks in what width...thanks for any help. Cheers, Indy.

I'm not sure what size the bolts are as I bought a 03-05 2500HD kit, I do know even if you buy the kit you will still need to buy two additional bolts. I would call Performance Accessories (the company who makes the kit) and check with them regarding bolt size. If they won't sell you the bolts I would check with www.boltdepot.com they carry everything. The kit uses the 2"BB for the most of the body and that is what I used. The frame has a total of 12 mounts (I just went outside and counted), depending on what you do about your front bumper and DRL fascia you would need more more than that. (I used eight 2"BB and two 2"SB to raise the front bumper).

*Note I had to use two additional 2"BB on the bumper top mounting boats cause they hold my SMA grill guard brackets, so you could probably just use six 2"BB on the front bumper.

Thanks for the info. How wide are the BB pucks? 3"? And the SB 2"? Sorry, but having owned lifted Jeeps my entire life, BB stands for Budget Boost and SB for Sway Bar Also, bolt depot only has metric bolts up to 130mm in length for the 12-1.75 size in 10.9 strength....if that is the correct bolt pattern. Well, I guess I'll have to do some more research into this. Cheers, Indy.

You can ask Brandon over at Rides of Conover where he got the additional bolts, he just told me "a supplier".

hello bimmer,

I am new to this thread, and I have a question for you about your brush guard. How do you mount it to the truck ? I bought a used one from a guy and I cant figure out how to mount it. it looks as if i need brackets to mount it. Did your come with any other hardware besides the what is in your pictures? Thanks

[Bimmer9938]

Yes, they are thick "L" brackets w/ threaded holes that that mount up behind the oem DRL top bumper/fascia. You can mount it to a SMA bumper w/o the L brackets, but those are far and few between. (I have one I'm about to install when I find the time). If he didn't give you the L brackets, I might have mine for sale down the road. If you need instructions, I can photocopy mine for ya.

[gsxr0311]

O man, that would be great. Yes, can you please photo copy the instructions for me. Thanks so much. When do you think you may sell your l brackets? I think I am going to have a shop make some for me.

[Bimmer9938]

Send me your name and address, I'll photocopy them and get them out in the mail. As far as the brackets, either later this month, or next.
