Hi everyone. Been awhile since I posted some pics of the rig and these are the latest. Unfortuantely, these were taken before I put the 3" body lift

Anyway, hope you like 'em

That's some fun looking goo! Bet your big block motors you through it in style.

Chevy409 · 10-31-2002, 05:03 PM

You bet, we had a ball. That trail isn't far from my home too so on the nice days we'd take that to and from school. Pretty sure these pics were taken before we went to the school car wash, can't remember if that was the day though. Anyway, they didn't appreciate that too much:p
Yukon, i haven't got stuck yet, just come really close.

what body lift did you use? im about to do a 3 inch body lift on my truck

Chevy409 · 11-01-2002, 04:12 PM

Sorry GMC, I don't know. A buddy took it out of his truck and gave it to me for free. Let me know if you have any question when you start the installation though, I ran into a couple problems i wish i had known before but fixed after.

GMC71k20 · 11-01-2002, 11:58 PM

what kind of problems did you run into besides the obvious? (steering, lines, clutch linkage) how did you fix the bumpers? what size tires are you gonna run with that amount of lift, i just bought my 33s so ill have to wait until awhile to get some bigger ones

It looks so cool when the flag is on the back of the truck flapping away. Dont you just love playing in the mud?

Chevy409 · 11-02-2002, 01:42 PM

Besides the obvious, something I didn't think about was my exhaust, which was hung from the bottom of the cab so i made some longer mounts. I also didn't spend enough time looking over ALL of my electrical crap and a few leads and battery cables (mounted in bed) had to be lengthened. Make sure all the cab mounts are loose before you start jcaking one side up too. Unfortunately, I don't have the $$$ right now to upgrade tires, but with a total of 5" suspension and now the 3" body, I could fit 36's with minor fender trimming (probably taller if you didn't plan on wheeling it, but that's no fun then).
Hooter, I live for the mud! Well, pretty much anything besides pavement

I do like the flag as well.
