this makes me want to invest in a body lift one of these days

 

absolutely!

and besides the Q & A, were you nice enough to document your build with pic's?

i think the biggest question any of us is gonna have would be, "what kinda mileage are you getting now?".

 

Hey by any chance did you paint your grille?

 

I'm getting approx 14 city, 18 highway with the stock 3.42's. I snagged some extra axle housings to do up some 4.10's to throw in it, so that'll change things. As for pics of the buildup, none. I did this about 8 years ago. If anybody has any questions about it feel free to hit me up! It's a very simple and straight forward swap, I had the whole wrecked 99 silverado so I just switched everything over and fabbed my own headers up (which need replaced, rotted)

 

2 inch PA body lift and 2 inch t-bar crank + 2inch shackles

 

reviving this cool thread. Here is a shot of me next to a stock blazer. Im not sure how much difference there is but it makes the stock one look funny. Sorry for the slanted parking lot, I had no choice.

This is with 31 BFG's, who thinks I can stuff 32's with no rubbing? uppermost part of tire opening on the fender is 36 1/2 inches.

 

3 inch body lift, might stuff 33's under it this summer, pic is avatar

 

great job! i already did the tortion keys and shackles just got the body lift in any pointers to make the job easier or go faster??

 

Nice truck i did my TB/shackles got the body lift in shop doing it after i finish my headers install any tips to make the lift go easier or faster? and also do those tires measure a true 32"?? looks like they fit good

 

wow! that puts it into perspective, I want to see 32's on your truck
