So I’m getting to the point where I’m ready to get new 4” springs and shocks and getting the bump stops dialed in and, I’m going to go ahead and do the body lift. It currently has a 4” lift that are actually old fab tech springs with really old procomp shocks. I’ve been holding off until I got most of the other big ticket items completed. Question is, with the standard 1.25” body lift what other mods will I be looking at? I already have the cable transfer case apparatus. I was thinking I’d need to do something with fuel filler hose but I wasn’t sure on anything else.

Motor mount lift is recommended to at the same time or you’ll have to move the radiator fan shroud.

Other than the cable transfer case apparatus I didn't do much, if anything with the fuel filler hose. I may have moved the fan shroud but maybe I moved than when I lifted the engine IDK.

My filler hose seems short. I installed a genright tank and I was thinking at that time it was kinda short. Maybe it’s been replaced idk.
 
I thought of something else, I haven’t looked but, is there a source for just the body mount bushings without the hardware? I know the body lift comes with all of the hardware.

  1. Fuel fill tube will need to be lengthened to accommodate the amount of body lift. You do this by loosening it and pulling it further off the tank.
  2. Fan shroud will need to be raised which requires some trimming where the upper radiator hose enters the radiator (unless you add a MML, and after that you should check clearances and adjust as necessary).
  3. You’ve addressed the TCase shifter. 👍🏼
