D1 with body lift: front and rear bumper options?

[MonLand]

Does anyone have first or second hand information to share regarding front and rear bumper options./pitfalls/etc for a D1 with a (2" in this case) body lift?

I'm investigating the build vs buy route and before I start reaching out to vendors (for the buy part), I'd like to understand what has been done/tried already.

Thanks!
(not looking for feedback on doing or not a body lift, that decision was made a few months and the lift is almost done; still happy to discuss that with anyone in a separate thread)

Do you already have 2" body lift in a Disco?

How long does it take to stack 2 hockey pucks and drill a hole through them?

Front bumper is barely noticeable with a regular bumper.
That said…I may have an RTE rear for a 2” bodylifted truck.

Yes. Spacers are in but everything else is still being worked on.

Holy crap! WAY more time that I thought it would/should/could take!!!! Disco has about 150K on it, but corrosion is there. Technically, the spacer installation will have been the easiest (and cheapest as I’m finding out!). What will take longer are;
- the 4x safety belt tie-down extensions
- radiator and radiator shroud spacers/setup
- rust proofing “while I’m in there”
- front and rear bumper (I have not racked this one)

How's your transfer case shifter?

I had to extend the t-case shifter. Likely could have work without, but looked terrible.
Working on extending the 5-spd gear lever now.

That's good feedback on the front bumper as I only have a stock one at the moment and it does not look great!
Would love to see a pic of that "RTE rear for a 2” bodylifted truck" setup if you have one and might be interested in buying it if you are parting with it.

I’ll get a pic. It’s in my buddies garage. We will be parting a 99 with a 2” body lift at some point. The bumpers are off and cleaned up.
