Default Body lift?

I have an 06 CCSB 1500HD looking for and 1.5"-2" body lift and haven't found anyone that makes one. I did find on Summits website where you can buy just the 2" spacer. My question is, if I buy the spacers and get longer bolts locally would there be any other pieces I'd be missing other than bumper brackets? Any issues I might run in to?

You would be missing the extension for your steering which is most important part, personally ive done a few body lifts more of a pain than anything, IMO i would go with keys and blocks you get your 2 inches and if you decide you dont like it much eaiser to take out.

The problem I'm having right now is I'm cranked so high I'm hitting my bump stops but if I go any lower my tires rub the fenders. Looking for a cheap way to fix the problem.

I've never put the steering extension in. My truck has a 2" bl, and 4 of my friends currently have bodylifts on 03-06 trucks and none of them have the steering extension in, one is a 1.5" and the other 3 are 2".

Yup, I have a 2" on my 06 and I just went out bought longer hardware and 2" blocks and I made my own bumper brackets. I'll post pics in a little.
