How come no one make 1" or 2" inch body lift??

Just wonder why the compnay ONLY make 3" body lift? why not 1" or 2" ?

I thought level kit with 1" body lift will be great for 33"-34"

There is a lot of labor involved in installing a body lift. Personally, I don't think it would be worth the hassle for only 1 inch of lift. THere are 1 inch lifts made for Wranglers, but there is a lot less work involved installing one on a Jeep than a new F-150.

I'd like a 1" body lift as well. I don't like the idea of my bumpers being brought up with those cheesy metal brackets. A 1" give you a little more height and you could leave your bumpers where they are.

But I do have to agree that it is too much work for just 1"

I agree entirely. Plus 33's/34's fit both the 2wd and 4wd with only a spacer lift.

You can always have a metal shop cut aluminum pucks to any size you want. That's what a lot of off-road race truck do. Down side is you would have solid body mounts which means a harsher ride.

I have a ford catalog that lists a 2'' body lift by performance accessories. The part number is 70063. It's listed for the 2004 F-150 with the 5.4l.
