3 inch lift

[962000chevy]

That's exactly what I did

You sure its a 6 inch drop? Everything I've ever read said it was only like a 4.5-5 inch drop and that the 4 inch kits and 6 inch kits were the same up front except the 6 included keys.

You got any measurements of your differential drop? I may lift mine one day and I'm just gathering info

Nope 6inch drop for sure no keys it's 6 in the front and 4 in the back

Hmmm, alright that sounds great cause its cheaper than most. Thanks man.

 

[02Beast]

No prob the front really just gets rid of the rear x member drops the diff adds cv spacers taller knuckles new front and rear x member rear just adds springs and stabilizers

 

[silverado13]

Yes I did

how bad was installing it?

 

[02Beast]

Worst part was not having a 2 post or 4 post lift other than that it was a bitch cutting the rear x member overall I would rate it difficulty wise with an experienced mechanic about a 6.5 - 7/10 depending on how rusted your bolts are

 

[silverado13]

did you just use a floor jack?

 

[02Beast]

Yeah 3 ton floor Jack 2 Jack stands for the front and 4 for safety in the back
And it was cold and on a gravel driveway lol

 

[silverado13]

gravel doesnt sound like fun, did the lift come with instructions?

 

[02Beast]

Yeah ended up getting torn up with the weather and us being outside so I just downloaded the pdf online

 

[silverado13]

was it pretty understandable, in other words..... for dumbies

 

[02Beast]

If you know what everything is called and follow even the most confusing think your going to Fuck something up instructions then yes

 

[02Beast]

Most everything had pics and if you don't know what everything is called you will afterwards lol

 

[silverado13]
