    Someone had a write up on a 1 or 2 inch body lift. Shows some good pictures, let me find it. Its a 2nd gen though.

    Edit: Like I said its a 2nd gen, I know your looking for a 1st gen. And its a 1 inch body lift. Here is a link I'm sure you can Google something though :thumbsup:.

    3" lift Up front(Donahoe Racing ext. travel coil overs, Camburg UCA's), 1.5-2" lift in the back(aal and some billy 10" stroke short bodies), Bushwhacker Cut-Out fender flairs, 16"x10" Procomp Street locks, and 305/70 Procomp X-Terrains.
    I have a 2" body lift sitting here at home. u pay 4 shipping u can have it. Just FYI u have to drain ur ac to extend one of the hoses, and if u do it yourself you can damage the ac unit.

    So you are doing a body lift even though you hate body lifts?? :rolleyes:

    Save up your money and do it right the first time. Body lifts are unsafe, ugly, and just suck all around.

    Respring stuff means it doesn't flex as much???...LOL...dude..my rear axle flexes a good 4'' more i bet with new springs. And front flexes way better too...

    Do it right or don't do it at all.

    Hell even just getting 5100s and leaving them on the 2.5'' setting and an AAL is WAY better then a body lift.

    Yep, id be okay with a 1'' one..as long as you had 3'' of suspension lift and your stuffing 35s under it :D

    I agree. I think Im going to leave mine on and just get the brackets from shrockworks to raise the bumper. Figure it will help with fitting tires later.
