Sounds good! Probably the biggest headache, if there is one, will be removing the metal sleeves from the stock body mount bushings. Hope everything goes smoothly!

[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.


http://www.2bigbroncos.org/technical/body_lift/index.html

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..."

I had a 1993 Bronco. I put a 3 inch body lift and 6 inch SkyJacker suspension on it. Fit 38.5 Ground Hawgs just nicely!! Oh yeah, the 4:88 gears helped pushed the tires. It had a 5.0 in it.
