almost positive. he had the 39.5's when i saw it in oct. 09' then when he fabbed that rear tire carrier he got 42's. That's what Eric told me. and i've seen two separate pictures and after he got the carrier the tires looked significantly bigger. I dont know how he did it but everything on his truck is insane in person. thing looks like its been through hell and back multiple times... and to top it all off. Its his DD. or atleast used to be

Ricks truck had a 2" body lift. The pucks were just generic body lift pucks from JCwhitney. Green keys and then he stuffed the 42's on. And cognito upper control arms.

He also had do to a TON of metal trimming underneigth to keep the tires from scrubbing badly. They still scrub at full lock but at least it will go go full lock.

The idea was to get massive foot print on the ground while not losing ground clearance due to T-Bars beeing dropped.

Get recently got rid of it and is now looking for an H1.

Interesting, he told me something different, but that makes more sense.

Default Re: 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

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

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

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.

With no other lift? I'd just do keys before a body lift. 37's on stock.

my issue is my h2 has very little rake. it use to have a mad rake when i got it, 2 months later i had the airbags replaced and it sits close to level, so theres nothing to level out or the front end would be higher.

also right now im stock on 37's, when they wear out i want to fit larger meats.

You should have switched to springs, then you could have added a spacer. Or stil switch to them and sell your bags. There is a member her selling an air bag spacer from a Fabtech lift here, you could always have a weld shop cut it down and re weld the seat on it... The body lift installed was around $1500.

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

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.
