Serious question, who voted the one inch and why>? I've never really heard of anyone doing a one inch body lift? Is it as common as a 2 inch?

Not really, i had a 3" body lift in mine and the only real worry was the clutch slave hose, other than that nothing else was more worse off than a 2".

P.S. ive gone to 2" purely to satisfy the engineer. ;)

Reply to the 1" question.... I can hear the laughs already. I have a 15mm lift. About the size of a breadboard actually, 'cause that's what I used. Why? I installed a L.R. fuel tank and when the cab was loaded up the fr$ggin thing would bash under the body. So 15mm of body lift cured it real fast.

2" lift - steering is at max, brake lines at max, power steering hoses at max, fuel hose from filler to tank at max.
