Default Questions on Body Lifts

Hello!

So lets get down to the nitty gritty. I have a 92 S10 Blazer 4.3L. I am getting ready to install a 3 inch body lift this weekend. So I sat down read through the paper work and all that good junk they sent with it. Found a bit of a concern I had and decided I would hit up the dealer ship on it as I was unsure of it. Though they werent much help. So here I am. Ok so basically it stated that I need to check the lines running to the remote oil filter to ensure that I have enough length to do the 3 inch body lift. Now has any one had any issues with those said lines? If so where can I find longer ones as I cant even find anything on those as a replacement part.

Thanks in advance!

well this might help...
i have a 99 and did a 2" lift....i had no problems at all with those lines.

no granted i have replace the oem lines with tranny cooler rubber line and adjustable clamps to the oem alum connections on the relocater bracket. i did keep them the same length as stock though.

so no length issues but that might give you an idea as to how to lengthen them if you need to.

I put a 3" body lift in my 1988 S-10 Blazer and the stock ones were long enough. You just drop the oil filter down a bit.
