    Body lift will possibly require extension of the steering arm, extension of the CDL lever, brackets to support radiator in position, if tdi, you need extender arms for the fuel filter bolted to the firewall.

    Kit should include the seatbelt anchors too. You will also have bumper missalignment... I just fixed the rear, left the front as is.

    Also, I didnt replace brake hoses as my spring lift is also only 2". but if you got huge spring lift you may be maxing out the length of hoses and require longer ones.

    BUT - HEAPS of info on here already on the subject, just do a search on body lift

    Make sure you don't have SRS airbags.
    Apparently it is illegal to body lift a vehicle with SRS airbags.
    Ok to do suspension lift though.
