After about two months of debating, I've decided on a 2" body lift. I chose 2" over 3" simply because I don't want the extra inch. I'll be able to comfortably fit some big ass tires without trying to push it to a point of failure. Puts me out of the running for the current bumper group buy, but as soon as funds permit, I'm going to hopefully work with Mike to get one for the 2" body lift option. I put my feelers out for spare parts, since I know there is always something sitting in somebody's garage. Some people have come through on the more difficult parts, so I'm hoping to have this finished within the next month. Body lift bolts have arrived:

Blocks are en route, and as soon as a certain member has the time, the bumper brackets will be on their way. Only complication is a steering extension, since Zone doesn't sell individual parts like that. I'll be trying to put my own together or adapt from another model. If that fails, I'll have to wait for Mark to have an extra or get something machined locally. I am quite excited for this! I'll update this thread regularly, if only to document my progress in one place.
