2" Body Lift Installation Advice Needed

I am installing a 2" PA Body lift. For those of you who have done it, I'm curious if I need to worry about any of the following... AC lines, installing the T-case linkage bracket, the fuel line extension hose, or any other aspects.

I was really wondering if it's a matter of just sticking the spacers in for the BL and adding the bolts or if it's much more extensive than that. I have a 1" ML already installed.

For a 2", likely all of that... which is one reason I chose to go with only a 1" PA BL.

You've got something hanging off the end of your nose.

i put the PA 2"BL on mine and few things, yes you will need the shift linkage, you only need some of the fuel line extension, yes you need the steering bracket (included) and it includes rad drop brackets that are super easy to do, and will place your shroud back where it currently is, i took about 3 hours to do mine, and that incleded cleaning it and getting food, so actual time was closer to 1.5 hrs

Remember to not take all the body mount bolts out at once because if you do, lifting one side via a jack to insert the spacers could cause the body to slide out of position. Getting it repositioned is a royal PITA. Leave a few bolts loosely threaded in on the opposite side you're inserting the spacers in so everything will remain in alignment.

I did not use the steering shaft spacer with my 2" BL.

Its been this way for 8 years now with no problems.
