im looking to buy a 2" body from a 1994 ranger and use it in my 2007, basically all im using is the bolts and blocks, but i just want to confirm that the bolts would be the proper length, and thats i wouldnt need any special extensions just doing a 2" lift thanks

It's diarrhea of the fingers. Someone answering a question they didn't bother to read and comprehend in the first place. Take note, if someone's signature reads like a 4 yr old wrote it then they prolly ain't the best at giving advice either.

I do know you won't need any extensions on a 2" body lift, as far as the bolts go, can't help there cuz I've never done it. Would be a safe bet to pull your bolts and match up as you go but have a driver handy in case you need to go pick some up.

with only 2 inches of lift, you shouldn't need any extensions for shifters, steering, etc. on mine, the bumpers are frame mounted and you'll probably need to fab some new mounts if you want them lifted with the body. as yours is the fx4, i'm not sure if you'll need longer bolts for that model or not. just have to pull the first one and measure it up to the kit bolt and go from there. your local hardware store should have grade 8 bolts on the correct length if you need them. good luck and have fun with your project!

thats why u should have read directions on a new 3" kit, it tells u about the a/c line and sleeving with another hose

for the front, just make u some extension brackets out of 3/8" plate and drill holes to mount to the bumper and to the frame

didn't take any pics of the install, wasnt enough time haha, with the bumper we just ended up cutting some new holes in the frame, looks pretty good, we didnt extend anything, i could see how some people could run into problems with the shifter but since its the fx4 blah blah it has a bent shifter stick so it doesnt hit anything, it would probably hit with a 3" body lift though, as for the fan shroud we used one of the lowering brackets but the rest wouldnt fit, so we just just zipped tied the other corner and the bottem its not going anywhere, annd for the rear bumper i just used some diamond plate for the gap(i know most guys dont like it) but its only 2" and it looks better then a gap between my hitch, i actually kind of like the plate, most of the bolts worked out that came with the kit, we ran into problems with the in cab bolts though, they seem to need shorter ones then in 93, but we re-used a couple of the stock bed bolts and then ended up knocking through the other two through the whole bushing and mount and putting a nut on the end, also we have 2 leftover blocks? for a long bed model maybe? but im happy with the results its sitting fairly nice, 2"body 2"(keys, i know bad mistake), and 32" bfg km2s, might move to 33" in awhile, thanks.
