Default Rough Country 2.5" walkaround (video)

1999 GMC Jimmy build- Project: Katana on Blazerforum.com - YouTube

Alot of time went into this build- I am posting here because the focal point of the video is the lift kit and how the truck is now after all of the hard work (Rough Country 2.5").

Buy it! Work out the kinks and you will be seriously satisfied with your purchase. I know that I am!

No body lift...that is all suspension/tire lift.

I do have a PA kit, but I'm pretty set on selling it.

Nice video thanks for all your info about the lift, makes me pretty confident ill like it. I was thinking about doing this lift, then maybe a custom 1 inch body lift if im not happy with the clearance, has anyone done this lift on a first gen i have a 1990 and want to see what it looks like with some 31s

any way nice vid

Looks good. Do you have any pics of the control arms. Im curious to see what they changed and if they look stronger than the old 2in ones? Also where in MI are you? Im in Grand Rapids.
