I'm preparing for a 2" body lift as well, just have to find the time. This is the list I've got;
• Front bumper off before starting
• Seatbelt retention bars removed and lengthened
• Release firewall clipped lines
• Loosen fuel filler hose clamp
• Loosen steering shaft from firewall to steering box & steering wheel
• Loosen all body mount bolts, remove only one side
• Jack up the side of body with bolts removed & insert blocks on top of rubber mounts
• Insert new bolts loosely to this side
• Remove bolts of other side
• Jack up second side & insert blocks on top of rubber mounts
• Insert new bolts loosely
• Clutch master cylinder has had to be moved in the past
• Check fuel filler & tighten clamp
• Check breather hoses
• Check handbrake cable from firewall not stretched too tight
• Check clutch hose not stretched too tight
• Check brake lines aren’t stretched too tight
• Gear levers will foul, rubber boot creates issues, need to bend/cut & weld
• Tighten bolts
• Radiator ideally needs to be dropped to match body lift, or electric fans installed.
• Go through in reverse and reattach everything & tighten things up
