Re: Lift Help for 4x4 GMC

the orignal poster has not posted pics of the shackle end .

if this was only lowered on the front end and no other correction made as in lowered & or longer shackles or angled wedges under the springs to axle then i bet the caster is way off .

this could be a little bit good and a lot bad .

so yes it does look strong but if the rest of it was not addressed during this mod then there is prob a few other problems that need fixed to be 100%

May have found some frame horns. Here are pictures of rear shackle of front spring, and how it is block lifted in back.

Re: Lift Help for 4x4 GMC

o.k. rear shackle for the front springs looks stock .

the front only looks like it was lowered then to gain lift . kind of stupid i think for the reasons i said on front axle caster being way off . but anyway .....

try back to stock then go from there .

like i said before take measurements so you have height reference info before so after you know what you need to regain that height .
