Installing 1" Body Lift

[SoAZ4Runner]

Hey guys, i am installing my new Toytec BL and I have hit a wall. I currently have 2.5" spacers which will soon be replaced with coils etc. However I don't have a high lift jack and my floor jack can't reach my body. How did you guys jack the body up? Maybe someone has an idea or can help me. i would really appreciate some thoughts!

stack 2x4s on the jack

I just put mine on a couple hours ago. I used a hilift and a 2x4

I stacked about 3 4x4's . Cut them to the longest length that they fit right between your center body mounts. This will releieve the stress on your body when u jack it up. You put them close to the frame rails going lengthwise with the truck

Yeah stacking wood on a floor jack should work fine.

Thanks for the replys guys! So I was doing this at about midnight and was too tired to realize I was doing everything right. Go up the next morning and finished it off in about 30 min. Thanks for all your help everyone!

Sidenote. Has anyone modified their bumper bracket?

Drill a hole 1" above the bottom hole on your bracket and just put the bumper through those holes. It will only be held up by the 2 bolts instead of 4 but it works.

These are the brackets you need to drill the holes through.
