Body lifts on these trucks
Hey,
Was wondering if i could see some pictures of people with body lifts, 2-3 inchs. Does it look goofy? can you see the frame rails alot like the 89-98 trucks? will i need to lengthen my steering or ebrake cables?

Re: Body lifts on these trucks
It's just my opinion, but yes on all questions. You don't see a lot of people that take the time to put in a body lift correctly. I think a suspension lift is easier to do, but that's just my opinion.

Re: Body lifts on these trucks
here is my old 73 with a 2" body lift and 285's, I hated beaing able to see the gap between the frame and body, and the rear bumper hung really low. Suspension lifts are cheap for these trucks, I would go with a 2-3" suspension lift personally

Re: Body lifts on these trucks
Here's my blazer with a 3 inch body lift. I'm taking it out as soon as I get all the stock length bolts...

Re: Body lifts on these trucks
If done RIGHT, it can look good. I have put alot of thought into body lifting mine and here's my plan when I get the time. After installing the lift, move the gas tanks up to where they are still hidden by the body or install a suburban tank behind the rear axle and relocate the fuel door.
