Just Bought a 2" Body Lift For My Bronco
[updated:LAST EDITED ON 13-May-02 AT 02:26 PM (EST)]D,
This MBB site is partially down right now, but there is GREAT DIY'er w/many pics and info on a 2" Lift there by Jagular.

And as Restorit advised.........
an excerpt:
"...Remove The Existing Bushings
The task of removing the existing bushings and sleeves is difficult. This task required two attempts between a couple months due to my lack of experience! Now, having completed it once - I know what to expect and how to go about removing those stubborn bushings/sleeves.
I experienced no problems removing the body mount bolts using a 1/2" air impact wrench and socket. The most difficult sleeves/bolts was up front where the bolts thread up through the bushings where a nut is tighten down from top. Rust played a serious role on these... rust-buster spray and plenty of work was required.
The idea for seperating the bushings is force from top down... or another technique I understand works good is a "pull down" from underneat. I used a sledge hammer from top on all except under the dash. The bushings under the dash (very near the foot area) required me to cut them apart. After seeing these cut, I believe nothing would/could have seperated them keeping the bushing safe..."
