looks very good, did you keep the body lift, and shackles, or just go with the bds only?

hey every one, i would like first off to just say thanks to everyone, this forum has a really great group of guy and gals, also to all thos with info and general help along the way....

OK so its what i would call finished, for now.. Kenny, the lift still has a P.A.
2" body lift and the rear lift shackles' the shackles though will be comming off and replaced with the factory type,the rear is about 2" higher than the front, there is a vibration from stop, that does go away almost imidiatly
but im thinking its the driveshaft angle, there is 4 deg of shims, that may not be enough, there is a drive line place locally i can have them check it out, I also was able to mount the front skid plate, it was operator error on my part, not BDS.

here are a couple pics of the first Envoy(i think) that has a major lift...
Thanks again to every one
Robert

why yes you can.

your man card now has the following endorsements:

1. lifted
2. wheel carrier
3. member of 7" club (lift)
4. envoy badass request..approved

congrats.

as for the vibration you probably need the driveshaft rebalanced. i had to have mine done.

Your vibration could be a u-joint too. Real common after lifting a vehicle. May also be as easy as pulling out your lift shackles.

Is it a 7" only club, very exclusive!
