Default How I do a body lift

I like to do a slight body lift on my CC01's. I can get about 1/4" by using spacers up front and by doing a simple mod on the rear body post. On the rear I just cut off the existing post and drill a hole slightly above. Then I insert another post (axial leftovers) and glue it in place. A few small screws also help to hold everything in place. It's a simple way to lift the body and reduce tire rubs. I also usually hack away at the chassis around the front to reduce tire rub. What do you do to lift the body?

I haven't used the stock body yet, so I have had to make custom mounts on both mine. Both mine have hinged mounts, The MAN has dual hinged, cab tilts to the front, bed tilts to the rear. The Defender tilts to the front as well.

I think this mod will be the next thing I do to my Jero.

I have Rock Creepers on right now. They are about the same size as the bashers (maybe a tad taller).
