4" Lift Pics please.... - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

I requested pics in another thread but I thought it might be easier to make it its own. So if you guys could show me what you got that would be sweet.

THANKS!

4" spring lift w/33's - E/Z ride system...you could live with it on a driver.

Jeepster376 · 05-28-2004, 07:50 PM

Click on my link, I have the 4" rough country lift. I wouldn't recomend it though, I think it's named rough country for a reason.

Here is my 69 K20 when I put on it's first lift, a 4" Tuff Country lift with a shackle flip in the rear. 35" SSR's. Now it has 11" of lift

Mudder · 05-29-2004, 10:35 AM

Newer chassis and a body lift was used to get the cab up off the TC. It probably could have been a inch or two lower but the tires would have been a lot closer. The rear fenders will rub when twisted.

**JIMs70GMC** · 05-29-2004, 10:18 PM

Added some pics to the link in my sig.

4" SkyJacker.
If you need any info on doing this right I just finished this one and it is not as easy as everyone makes it out to be. Do not buy the raised steering arm. Use the original and make your adjustable drag link shorter. This way you don't loose steering

bodazpa · 05-30-2004, 08:47 AM

4" lift and 33" parnelli jones.........

ryan68 · 05-31-2004, 12:17 PM

3 things:

1. 35's will rub with a 4" lift if you don't cut the fenders and actually wheel the truck.

2. If you don't put a raised steering arm, or a dropped drag link or drop pitman arm on, you will not be able to turn if you wheel the truck. When the driver's side flexes down all the way, the drag link is at such a steep angle that it essentially leaves you with you steering. Also I put my raised steering arm on the day after I did the original 4" lift on my suburban. I took it out after I got the springs on and when the driver's side flexed up and I turned to the right, the stock steering arm hit and dented the cylinder on my new Rancho 9000X shock

3. I don't know what's so hard about putting on 4 leaf springs(or 2 leaf springs and 2 blocks), extended brake lines or brake line relocation brackets, 4 shocks, and something to correct the steering. I've put 4" and 6" lifts on many of these trucks before without a problem in a matter of a few hours.

Just thought I'd throw that information out.

Again THANK YOU to those who posted some very nice pics of their rides. It has helped me greatly. I don't get tired of looking at them so please if you have please post them.

Also, is there a way to make the rear wheels sit as wide as the front? Spacers or something? I am putting on 33" on ralley wheels, any ideas?

Thanks,
