Just ordered the 1/2" lift from Mike, super quick on the response to my email and super reasonable for pricing!

Thanks Mike!

*Update* Body lift came in, great quality and quick shipping. My fear was the gap which is why I only went with a 1/2" lift. I am not thrilled with the gap, I really didn't think it would be that noticible but to me it is. Since it is on I won't take it off but need to figure out something that can be installed behind it to cover up the gap/wiring that is showing for my LED's and other things. Back is "ok" but the front to me is too big of a gap.

Just a few up close pix if anyone is on the fence like I was. I wouldn't do it again but that's just my opinion, lesson learned.

Hey guys, Mike here. Owner/Operator at Mikellis Lifts Inc. Or mikellisbodylifts.com

I appreciate all the business that's been directed toward me. Really opened my eyes on the community that's here. Like mentioned in this thread, I've got up to a 1 inch body lift listed. I'm working with a few bolt manufacturers to get the longer hardware needed for everything above 1".





I will definitely be shooting for better pricing on 2" body lifts, but with custom made hardware it will really bring up the price. Ford really didn't help with a custom M13 bolt.

Hey Mike,

Do you have bumper relocation brackets for your 2" BL?

Thats the gap with the 1/2 in ?

Yes, I am used to it now but if you are OCD like I am a little at first you will over analyze it like I did but now I am used to it and it blends in.

Just ordered 1" spacer for my Bronco. Was trying to stay away from body lifts but I'm at a crossroads. I have 37" tires on my Wildtrak with Stage 6 ICON suspension (coilovers), and I am stuffing the hell out of the tires in the wheel well when off-roading.

After some feedback from helpful users on the site, I determined that I don't want to mess with the coilovers (at least, not much) and that a body lift would be the simple solution. Now we wait, and then wait until the next off-road trip to see if 1" does the trick.

If Mike could make some bumper relocation brackets I think more BL kits would fly off the shelves. I myself am holding back simply due to my OCD not being ok with gaps.
I refuse to be gouged by Broncbuster and no other options out there.

Ive been silent for a while now, working through a few things. BUT I've finally got an affordable bolt option coming. It's being test fitted tomorrow and then production starts.

Previously we supplied the 1 inch kits with only the 2 longer front body mount bolts. The rear six bolts on our first shop installs were good to reuse. After 30-40 kits were sold, 3-4 customers came back saying the rear 6 bolts were only grabbing by a few threads and some even had the threads being pulled out.

We immediately stopped selling the 1" kits. The rear 6 bolts are all custom, no manufacturer makes them. So in a few weeks, we will have a fully custom made longer replacement bolt for the 1" and 1-1/2" kits and a seperate bolt for the taller 2"+ kits.

I hoping within 2-3 weeks we will be opening up orders again and able to provide the 1" and 1-1/2" kits at a much cheaper price.

Soon after that, get the longer bolts for the 2"-3" kits ran through the same process and have a very affordable body lift for these Badass Broncos.

Stay Tuned!

This thread is nearly a year old. I just wanna make sure that these products are still in stock. Thanks.

Anyone install these on a 25 yet? I'm assuming it's all the same hardware. Not looking to go as extreme with my new Bronco as I did with my previous one.

It’s pretty straightforward no matter the model year. Went with 3/4” on my 24 WildTrak. I would do 1” pucks from here and buy the proper bolts from McMaster-Carr if I had to do it again.

Why would you choose 1" over 3/4"? I'm considering a body lift for my '24 WT and I'm not sure if I want to go over 3/4".

Thanks!

3/4" got my WildTrack even height with my daughter's Sas BadLands. Another 1/4" would've been better, I think. His 1" kit came with all new/longer bolts and better than doubled the price of the 3/4" and they were Grade 8.8. Factory are Grade 10. I would've got the proper diameter pucks from Mike Ellis and ordered the proper Grade 10 bolts from McMaster Carr. The 3/4" kit came with new/longer front bolts only and I replaced the 8.8s with 10s.

I would love to seem some photos of Broncos with frame mounted rock sliders and the body lifts 1/2 to 3/4" please.
