ARCHIVE Body Lifts - Love them or Hate them

[nordost]

I still see people trimming their fenders, seriously do a body lift and save yourself some agony.

Our 1" kit is now available. See link for more info.

That's really cool that you're including the rad drop brackets. if this kit was available when I bought mine a couple months ago I would have got your kit.

Cut fenders look cool if done right. Body lifts can be silly looking.

Thanks, we are excited to offer the first "complete kit". The drop brackets turned out great!

Install video coming soon!

Hey maxx got the kit in looks great! Any install videos available? Next sunny day I'll be putting this bad boy on

I have an inch and a half and It's allowed me to reroute my exhaust and run a larger tire. I'm having a hard time with bumpers though as most are unable to move up the inch and a half to match the body lift. This is especially true for the rear.

I think we will be doing the install video this week, time will tell.

Anything over 1 inch and the rear bumper corners, trim and mud flaps become an issue. I'd suggest removing them.

I have an aftermarket dual swing out. Any known issues with a 1" lift?

Your swing out should be attached to the frame only, so you won't have any of the issues associated with the rear stock bumper corners, fenders, mud flaps being attached to both the frame and body.

Besides, 1" doesn't cause issues with the above anyway.

I suggest the 1" 9/10 as it makes the most sense for most people.

Flares bumper caps mud flaps have been gone for a while now. The problem I'm having is with aftermarket bumpers. Because most of them are made to fit on the rear crossmember they can't be moved up to meet the body. I really like the 4x4 Labs design but the wings on the sides (quarter panel) don't cover up that area that was covered by the bumper caps so it looks weird. Looking at a custom job if my buddy an I can ever get around to it.

Since the bumper will remain attached to the rear cross member/ bumper. The BL will cause an increase in gap between the bumper and body.

A 2" gap is obvious, while a 1" gap is barely noticeable. The 1" BL works for most everyone.

Do we need a code to get this kit for $100? The website has it listed at $125.

Also, can you link the install instructions? I'd like to see them before I pull the trigger.

When you order, mention they are 100.00 on mud and you'll get the 25 refunded.

We don't have a link for instructions and the instructions are part of what you buy with the kit.

Since we are the only kit that provides drop brackets and instructions we are not making them available separately.

If you want an idea of what all is involved with a body lift, search body lifts on MUD.

The only thing you won't find is the installation of our radiator drop brackets. Which is pretty simple.

I see this thread is coming back from the dead....

Is there now a install video?

Still honoring the 100.00 price?

Any pics with front bumpers (factory or after market) attached?
