Does anyone have any good suggestions for headlights? The stock high beams don't even look like they're on when I turn off the LED light bars.

9011 bulb to replace the 9005 high beam. You will have to trim one of the tabs on the base to fit it.

My headlights are sealed units not bulbs.

I wasn't paying enough attention. There are a lot of replacements for sealed beam 6054 depending on how much money you want to spend. Hella makes a set that takes your choice of H4 bulb. I have them in my Astro with standard wattage low beam / higher wattage high beam. They seem like the best thing for the money.

Yep, that 6054 configuration was used in a bunch of vehicles, just go on amazon and look up "6054 headlight conversion to LED or Projector or HID" you'll have more to choose from than you want..

Has anyone done a 1" body lift? Do you have to move down the fan shroud or is there enough clearance? How long did it take? I'm wondering if I can do it in a weekend.

You do have to modify the shroud, cutting some out(sectioning) of the lower half would be the easiest for just 1". The steering shaft will be close to it's max but it will work. Body bolts are on the edge of being too short/just barely long enough...you'll have to make that decision yourself. You'll have to decide if you can live with the look of the extra gap between the bumpers and body. Otherwise (so far as I've seen) everything else is fine.

I thought I saw a thread on here somewhere a while back that had a very detail description of a 1" body lift complete with hardware etc.. I tried using the search function but can't seem to locate it. Anyone know of a link to that thread?

Zuren did a 1” bodylift, here is his build thread.

I did a 2” on mine details near the beginning of my thread.

A couple of updates. I added the LED headlights, blacked out the emblems, and smokes the turn signal lenses.

Thoughts on running these spacers?

I installed 2 inch wheel spacers but that's let to rubbing issues when articulating the suspension off road. Do anyone know of a direct swap bump stops that are taller that I could get from the wreckers?

 

[Mat Mobile]

If you're talking about the front, this link should give you all the applications for that bump stop. You have plenty of choice! BTW, it's 15$ Canadian on Rockauto so it just might not be worth the trouble finding a used one.

Are these taller than stock?

Those are the stock ones.
