[@randyelviss4801]

Lighting is top notch and Lacey likes the new lift kit too!

[@TuquesNTires]

[@drummercarson896]

I love the Squarebody trucks

[@hastyhillfarmand4x480]

That's a sweet blazer

[@TuquesNTires]

Thanks!

[@jeremyrock9305]

😂 my cat would have been right in that box

[@eddiehamele5459]

Love to see the blazer agian

[@TuquesNTires]

Thanks! Me too, just been trying to figure out all I can do to it before we get to painting it!

[@hastyhillfarmand4x480]

I plan to get the 4 inch kit, I already have a 4 inch suspension lift and I'll add a 2 inch lift spring and make a 2 inch perch out of old leaf springs for the front.

[@TuquesNTires]

We’ll the kits are definitely made to last, sounds like your truck is gunna be pretty high! That’s awesome 🤟

[@thewoodsman5261]

Hey man, did you order directly through ORD or do they have a Canadian distributor?

[@TuquesNTires]

I’m pretty sure I ordered directly from off-road design it was just easier that way.

[@wesleyfarina]

Hey did you have to shorten the drive shaft at all ? I have a 4" lift with blocks

[@TuquesNTires]

No I did not have too.

[@leogetsome]

Cool video 😎

[@TuquesNTires]

Thanks!

[@patriotfour3374]

Nice!

[@cotylove920]

Was this actually 2.5" or did you end up with more?

[@TuquesNTires]

It was more then 2.5”, probably closer to 3.5/4 “

[@cotylove920]

@@TuquesNTires thats what worries me about ordering a set 🤦‍♂️

[@TuquesNTires]

@@cotylove920 me too but the lift springs I bought said they lift 2.5 but people are saying they are closer to 4”

[@MiscDotGeek]

Well done man. I'm going to be doing this on my Suburban. Need to get an air chisel! Would the hitch fit after the shackle flip is installed? I like having mine as a sacrificial scraping point :D

[@TuquesNTires]

The hitch will work, you just have to shim it down the same thickness as the steel on the shackle flip kit, good luck with your suburban!

[@MiscDotGeek]

@@TuquesNTires Thanks dude! My channel is kzbin.info/door/GHSUGTTccszx7DIuN8OcMw although it may change in the future.

[@CavanalK5]

Awesome upgrade! I had an ex with the same name as your cat so I cringe each time you say it. Was some good kitty though 😎

[@TuquesNTires]

It definitely lifted the truck in a hurry! Oh… well sorry for the flash backs 😱 kitty’s are just so fun to play with 🐈😂

[@duanewhite3184]

It's much easier if you have a lyft

[@TuquesNTires]

That it would be if you have one!

[@ericboothe8236]

lmao, you can almost see through that hitch...Dam salt

[@TuquesNTires]

Haha she’s basically brand new… maybe seen a winter or two 🤷🏼‍♂️
