Hey dirtybird, I have a '95 that looks similar to your '97. What kind of lift does your truck have, body or suspension - and what brand is it?

I just have 2" blocks from autozone/advanced auto. It's in one of the aisles as a 'lift kit' or something like that, just for the rear leaf springs. I then cranked my torsion bars. It looks 100 times better and I love it! It only costs like $35 for the blocks. I have more pics if you want to look. Let me know.

LuckyLightning · 09-18-2007, 02:02 AM

Yeah man thanks, the more pics the better. How are your CV angles?

dirtybird1 · 09-18-2007, 09:24 AM

I'll get a pic of the cv angles soon. I never looked at them. Just assume they are good when you're a mechanic

My poser shot

**Yukon Jack** · 09-18-2007, 10:48 AM

Good looking truck dirtybird1 - I had a 95 GMC Yukon that had a little tire rub so I cranked up the torsion bars to gain I'm guessing about 1 1/2" of lift - that ended up eating my lower ball joints after about 2 -3 years of driving so keep that in mind.

Here's a pic of the 95, but I'm sure that is before cranking the torsion bars.

LuckyLightning · 09-19-2007, 12:08 AM

It's funny you say that Yukon. Earlier today a friend was checking out my front end and noticed that my driver-side ball joint was looking "weak". I've had mine cranked about an inch for the last 6 months or so, and I'm finally getting them aligned Thursday. I wonder if it's related.

By the way dirtybird, great additional pics. I may have to crank my TB's some more and toss some blocks under the back end now.

dirtybird1 · 09-19-2007, 01:35 PM

Thanks guys!!!!

I get ALOT of compliments on it which I love cause there really isnt much done to it. Just some good parts choice I think.

The 2-3 years of ball joints doesnt really bother me considering the truck gets 13 mpg

so she only gets driven after work and on the weekends. So a tank lasts a week or two depending on where I go. I'll try and remember to get cv angles soon.

Southedisto · 09-19-2007, 11:42 PM

My latest addition

LuckyLightning · 09-20-2007, 02:28 AM

Lookin' forward to those CV angle pics dirty.

Southe, I want your truck. Looks very nice man. That a one-ton? What's your lift on that thing?

Yep, it has 4" skyjacker fronts and blocks

in the rear.

LuckyLightning · 09-20-2007, 02:40 AM

Oh yeah, dirty - did you replace your shocks when you did the "lift"? If so, did you get stock shocks or shocks for lifts?

I did not replace shocks. I dont take my truck off road as you can tell.

I was going to go off roading, in the sand dunes Labor Day weekend but while we were just getting into it, we got a call the outhouse was on fire and had to go back to camp

SO. I dont think that they are going to be a problem off road.... I did notice some 'head bob' while towing a trailer unloaded, but that is rare so I can deal with that. Looks>small ride quality
