88-98 Chevy 3" Body lift install

[@Triggerman2505]

You remind me of my teenage days when I did everything on the ground in sub zero temperatures. Good job!

[@skymaster9484]

Al Zedder you hit the nail on the head this reminds me of the mid 70's me and my friends doing this, if it did'nt fit you forced it love this guy.

[@redhot8041]

Did that many times too and in two foot of snow, etc

[@johannesherr2333]

In Germany we said curb Mechanic 😂😂we can fix everything we want. This is the difference between us and an spoiled shop mechanic😂😂😂

[@brokeatvguy6294]

To be honest thats all i can afford to do now and im 23

[@livefreehobbies4326]

love the video man. I forget how much you guys on the east coast battle that rust. It is good to see a video done the the way most of us have to do this stuff. On the ground!

[@smokingood197]

This dude's goofiness is killing me.

[@devoncochranmx7573]

This Channel is a lot of help I'm 15 just got a 96 Chevy and I'm planning on lifting it

[@erikcapozzi3425]

Save the dough and get a real lift or at least a level kit

[@garageassembled4701]

This was like watching 8 mile work on a GM.

[@FastenDeezNutz]

Great video man. Thanks for the walkthrough.

[@sbond1963]

Very smart. So much better than cranking the torsion bars, messing the whole truck up long term

[@erikcapozzi3425]

Lol

[@brokeatvguy6294]

Do not crank the keys up all the way till the bolts touching the crossmember…. Especially stock keys i have learned this the hard way i had my upper control arms bottoming out on my sway bar links for awhile even if it did make it sit higher in the front…. I havent messed with aftermarket lift keys so i cant say much about them but id think they would do the same without other mods helping

[@ThenewcastleERA]

I clear 33's on my 94 with no lift. Now I got the same lift you got. Gonna try and squeeze them 35's lol. Nice vid man

[@knight5188]

I use to have 35s stock with the T bars cranked you should be good

[@ChevykRyan]

looks good!

[@thestevestandardanthinggoe4170]

Great vid

[@uddemannen]

That's a country boy install 😎

[@kismofer1]

dude ...same ...i got exited too...good video though 👍🏻👍🏻

[@Hittarn]

very nice video

[@thecatfelix2988]

I would like to see how you handle the steering column , brake lines, front and back .And the shifting ensemble? I know the shroud needs to be redesigned.

[@LilsmeattYT]

Me too I can’t figure it out

[@outlaw4972]

Idk if y'all still tryna figure it out but I did a 3 inch body lift on my 96 OBS 2 years ago. And you don't gotta worry about break lines. It doesn't affect them at all. It lifts the body of the truck. So the suspension pretty much stays stock. The shift linkage wasn't even a concern neither. But I had to remove the driver's seat to release this clip that holds the shifter cable so it gets more slack. If not it'll feel hard to shift it into drive.

[@enginebuzz5741]

Thanks for the feedback, if you like the videos I would love more subscribers to make videos for

[@jeffleblanc8850]

I just figured out you are joking around I thought you really had turrets or adhd cause you were really acting like you knew nothing funny video you got me lol really funny

[@michalgt7203]

Did you cut off the old rubber bushings for the cab then just use the bolt up plates?

[@alexguillet10]

Whatd you do with Transfer case linkage

[@BigBulletsFly]

Where did you get the relocation brackets for the bumper. Have any updated pics with the bumper?

[@BattalionCoffee]

Yes please I have a big ass gap and looking for a way to relocate my bumper

[@Devo1987]

???? I upgrading my radiator to a 34" 2 row radiator will correct shroud and was wondering will I have a gap on the fan shroud when I put everything back. I have a 3" body lift already note some one keep the 28 " shroud on afte the body lift. I just hope I dont have to drop the lower shroud whats your thoughts my truck is a 1998 gmc k1500 5.0L 305 SL serria z71 off road. ??????

[@SterlonJrGill]

How about penitration oil and 1/2 inch impact?

[@shiloh-onecallidoitall8886]

Hey so i have two 94 s10 blazers that im gonna switch the body lifts and the 3" leaf spring spacer on as well as the torsion bars. What would you recommend I start on first and last?

[@zachkoolman3845]

Start by loading them on a trailer and end of by leaving them at the nearest dump

[@robertray7942]

Did you have to put a fuel filler extension or did it reach without one

[@maddiesails6794]

I have overloads on my truck but when I put air in them The princess feels like it's driving on air (I hate it) If I put this alternative lift on it will it feel super weird driving it? I like that the driving shaft sticks out I wonder if I could spray paint it red, it's a concrete princess due to fucking up the rear dyf, so the only thing getting on it is dust.

[@reese9008]

This lift fit 94 as well same body style i think it would.

[@kishou]

Would this be pretty much the same for the same gen suburban k1500?

[@Donnazbeenz303]

What size tires were you able to fit bro? I'm about to get a 96 n I have some 35s not sure if they going to clear turning ?

[@jamesjohnson9668]

Yale a steal plate drill a hole in it and put it in between the bolt head and frame section to hold that section up if ur driving it like that and hit a hard bump it will go through the frame in that se tion and bottom out on top of the tire

[@knight5188]

What about the steering column? Did you have to do anything to it

[@johnoven3668]

Would this work on a 92?

[@knight5188]

Is 3 inch body lift kits the only size available?? Can’t find anything else online

[@cristhegearmonkey]

Do you not need mounts behind the front wheels. Or are those for extra measure? Because i got the miunts in the rears and front but i also have mounts right behind the front wheels and i have 3 inch lift block on one side and on the other im missing it but its not leaning or anything? Do i need to install one or is it not necessary?

[@angelwhittington4779]

Oh my God this kid has me lmmfao....he's like a real life Bevis........ "wool this iz rotted out so I dunno why I even did it..,but I got...one....four.,, like seven more ......so if I go over any jumps......I said bevis.... I meant napoleon dynamite lol geezus bevis you got me in tears I'm laughing so hard.....AWESOME VIDEO BOYS KEEP EM COMING!!!

[@justinburchett9037]

Angel Whittington Its Beavis :P

[@jeffleblanc8850]

I think maybe he’s got turrets only thing he don’t say fuck all the time and I’m not making fun of him he should stay away from vehicles he fucked more than he fixed

[@mikeydejon2148]

Do you have to do anything with steering linkage?

[@ajaxmansker8362]

Aren't you supposed to remove the old bushing before installing the new one rather than setting it on top of the old one?

[@blakeolson1144]

Thats what i was wonderin lmao

[@blakeolson1144]

Dudes got like a 5 in body lift now

[@hellraisingfun]

when you install a body lift, what do you do about the steering? or the filler neck on the gas tank?

[@Rellderrick777]

Oramac NU he broke it alll

[@aaronabney8924]

Lift comes with steering and filler tube extention

[@josenarvaez5338]

What do you do with the front wheels. You have to change anything so the wheels are straight?

[@cody8624]

About how long did the install take?

[@outlaw3440]

Did u need to use a steering extension or did you not need it. I'm gonna install a 3 inch body lift on my 96 GMC and was wondering if I need one because my kit didn't come with me to one

[@enginebuzz5741]

I didn’t need one

[@jayoage1452]

So there's 3 smaller blocks and 4 square blocks what did you do about this...where do the small blocks go

[@aaronabney8924]

Small blocks are spacers for tow package square blocks are for cross members under bed theyre optional to use but highly recommended if you haul fat girls home from the bar or buffet

[@SassyMudTruckDegenerateDumbFk]

The best help I can Give- 1: Pressure wash the undercarriage 2: Impact gun 3: Wood blocks, big ones small ones.

[@aaronabney8924]

And willing to put next months paychecks in the swear jar

[@reinderrenting7998]

Yow dude im tryin to lift my s-10 but im a little worried about the steering column. You think it would work tho?

[@CodboyBoss]

Can someone send me a 3 inch body link for a 97 gmc sierra k1500 "SingleCab" I don't know if the rough country one fits a single cab

[@aaronabney8924]

RC fits all silverado models every silverado is the same only difference is bumper mounts

[@traviscalk7579]

So I've looked at this video about 6 times. In thay box that came with the new blocks bolts and washers and such. There was a few brackets to get rid of the gap for the rear bumper. What about the front bumper and the four metal blocks. Where did those end up going? There are a couple smaller nylon lift blocks where did those also go? There are plenty of people that ask these same questions.

[@austinortiz361]

Do u have to use the brackets that it comes with or just the blocks and the bolts

[@NLG_NeverLetGo]

yes there a brackets that come with the kit . you dont need the brackets but your going to have alot hanging

[@edcrabb]

Man with all that rust, your lucky the darn truck didn't break into when you took the last bolt out. I sure am sorry you guys have to use that salt and chemical stuff on the roads! It makes you feel like the State should pay YOU taxes for the upkeep and maintenance of your vehicle because of all the damage THEY cause!

[@chrismoseley4828]

Dude, watching it sit on that Jack was suspenseful. I thought it was gonna push right through that rust buckets floor pan 😂😂

[@notorious8801]

Engine Buzz hey man what size tires are on the truck in this video??

[@enginebuzz5741]

Dmax4thewin ! 265s so like 31”

[@juanantoniomontes2833]

where did you order your kit? and how much?

Good jop were you get the kit

[@Ty-bw9sw]

I got 33”a with no lift on my Z71 but the front bumper is cut very slightly maybe 1 inch when these tires are smoked I want to get 35s on the same wheels

[@Ty-bw9sw]

But I’ll do a 3” body lift to start and then get into suspension

[@Ty-bw9sw]

Already did a CV axle on it hopefully the lift doesn’t make them go out even faster

[@kylewilkey1537]

Imagine the dirt falling in your eyes😂I would’ve done a deep undercarriage cleaning first lol

[@garrettriggs1809]

[@malcolmeatman3241]

How much did you pay for the body lift? Also where did you purchase it from..?

[@malcolmeatman3241]

Engine Buzz Aye bro you gotta number I could hit you up on? I've got a couple questions to ask you about the body lift install.

[@SirGuidemere91]

Did you have to cut the shifter some to make the adapter work?

[@hunternelson3500]

This is what I’m about to do!! Did u have to cut it? Stock shifter doesn’t reach, and it seems too long with the extension attached

[@SirGuidemere91]

??? Did you have a fan shroud gap after body lift install ??

No, I just pulled the bottom fan shroud off for clearance.

Jeremy Miller EBAY. This truck was mostly built off of eBay

[@joseespinal4513]

Did you mess with the parking brake?

[@enginebuzz5741]

California's Finest no it didn’t really affect it, but all you have to do is cut the bracket to relieve the stress. but most the time the parking break is rusted on older trucks like that and prolly not a good idea to pull em cuz the because they may not release!

[@austinortiz361]

Do u have to use the bumper brackets or no

[@enginebuzz5741]

You don’t have to but it looks better if you do, otherwise you’ll have a big gap.
