depends on your shackle length. 3/4" minimum with stock shackles. A little more with extended shackles.

 

I did leave that out. I had in mind the JKS shackle which claims for 3/4" of additional lift over stock. But let's assume I'm using OEM shackle.

 

how much lift would you say that gained from doing this?

 

There's only 17 posts in the thread before you. You couldn't be bothered to try reading them?

 

Reading is for pussies.

EDIT:

Literally 2 posts above yours...

 

Sorry I didnt see there was a second page

 

there isnt if you have your settings for 25 or more posts per page

 

Well now I have to explain why I'm laughing at 1 in the morning.

Anyways.

I've been watching threads like these for a while as I wait to bump up from a 2"BB to a total of 5" by next spring. I have built up a pile of stuff to bolt on when I'm 'ready' - in the meantime I have been really pondering my rear end.

I'm part way thru a home brew relocation project and am stuck on bolt vs plate and weld in. It's not like I expect to be dealing it as a trade in at any point in time and the body's not a virgin any more.

 

nice write up thing-a-ma-bob... might do this..

 

hey dukie did you have to remove your hitch to install this? going through a lot of maintenance and modifications this winter and trying to pick between this and rc.

 

the way it's designed you don't HAVE to - it can mount over the hitch/skid plate if you so choose. The slot in the side allows about 1" of adjustment down. I chose to mount it tight to the uniframe to gain the extra 1/4" or so of clearance, and because I wanted to minimize the amount of lift I gained from the brackets.

I like these bracket's design better than the RC ones, i think it allows more adjustability.
