Is there any cutting required with the 1.5 body lift? I know with the 3” you have to modify the bumper brackets and extend the fan shroud, haven’t seen or heard anything about the 1.5”.

the only thing I have seen about cutting is something on the rear bumper. I'll have to read their install instructions for more detail.

 

[tma777]

Cool, I’ll pull the directions up too. I was curious to see what those that have done the install had to say about it.

 

[shadowhawk]

well, the cutting isn't to major parts, like on a 4" suspension lift. There are a few bumper mount tabs that have to come off, some cutting on the rear bumper cover, and a few drilled things. Nothing terribly frightening.

Yes you have to notch out the bumper so it can clear the receiver hitch, nothing major, I used cutting wheel and painted after to prevent from rust. The bottom half of the fan shroud gets removed, and just a little bit of drilling up front to relocate the bumper and the rear bumper. If I remember all you do is once bumper is removed there is a hole already there with a guide pin, you hammer in the pin and drill it out to 1/2. So not really any measuring involved amd you dont jave to worry about it being off. It took me about 5 hours to install mine.

For those running the 1.25 and 1.5 body lift. Can I see a photo of the back of your truck? How does the exhaust tips look

Tips can be adjusted.

I asked the exact same thing. Few guys helped me out and sent pics. Looks good after adjustment. My Zone 1.5 is ordered and on its way due to all the guys helpful input and pics...

This is Bilsteins at 2.1, 3/4" rear spacer and zone 1.5" BL. I also have a PA 3" BL in the garage that will most likely replace the Zone 1.5" BL eventually.

Your truck looks awesome. What size tires are those?

I'm looking at the 1.5" body lift as well. I know the tips can be adjusted but I would like to see what the factory tow receiver looks like after the body lift. 1.5" doesn't seem like much but could be very noticeable.

 

[shadowhawk]

I know I've seen pics of the receiver on a lifted truck. I'll see if I can find it

Thank you. That's my biggest hesitation in pulling the trigger right now on a BL.

It does not look bad imo
