I have not personally done my BL yet but, understand that most crews do not need an extension on the steering or the fuel connection with the gas cap end on the bed.

Again, am getting ready to do mine and understand that a second person his helpful to "spot" for you when lifting so components do not get unplugged or things bind.

Again, that is what I have read while researching mine.

Good Luck!

Can anyone give me some info on a good BL, please :wink: . I am looking at possibly getting a 2" BL on my crew cab and don't know anything about them. Don't worry, I know someone, who works on cars to do the work for me. I just need to get the parts. Right now everything is stock on it. I will be replacing the speakers, amp and sub and adding a bed cover to it. So I figured a BL would be next. Don't want to overdue the mods but it does seem to sit a bit low, for a truck for me.

Yes, it comes with spacers to raise the front bumper and new brackets for the rear bumper.
