I FINALLY JUST FINISHED INSTALLING MY BODY LIFT ON MY 2002 1500 QC. I WILL TRY AND POST THE BEFORE AND AFTER PICS SOMETIME TUES. OR WED. AFTER I GET THE NEW TIRES PUT ON.

I USED THE PERFORMANCE ACCESORIES KIT. IT IS A VERY COMPLETE KIT. THE DIRECTIONS ARE HAZY AT BEST IN MANY AREAS TO THE AVERAGE SHADE TREE MECHANIC. I SAW ON THIS FORUM WHERE GUYS CLAIMED THEY INSTALLED THIS KIT IN 5-6 HRS WITH SIMPLE HAND TOOLS. IF THAT IS THE CASE MY HAT IS OFF TO YOU FELLAS, CAUSE I JUST SPENT SOMEWHERE BETWEEN 10-12 HRS, MYSELF, IN THE GARAGE INSTALLING THIS LIFT! WITH SOME HELP I'M SURE YOU COULD CUT THIS TIME DOWN A BIT, AND IF IT IS A NEW TRUCK WHERE RUSTED BOLTS, ETC AREN'T A FACTOR YOU COULD PROBABLY SHAVE A BIT MORE TIME OFF AS WELL. ALLL IN ALL I AM VERY HAPPY WITH THE APPEARANCE AND COMPLETENESS OF THE KIT, I WOULD JUST KEEP IN MIND THAT IT IS NOT A QUICK SATURDAY AFTERNOON PROJECT LIKE A LOT OF THE OLDER 4X4 'S HAVE BEEN FOR ME IN THE PAST.

 

Definately get some pics up! I have been contemplating getting some new spindles, and rear blocks, or just doing a body lift. Lets see some pics!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

 

Very interested in pics. I'm putting a bodylift on mine, but will more than likely have the local shop do it. How much was the PA kit?

 

The kit was around $340.00. I purchased it at summit racing in Tallmadge, Ohio. I got photos today on the digital but so far am not having any luck uploading them. Anybody know how to resize a digital in order for it to work on this forum???? I am somewhat illiterate to this photo stuff online.

 

Try uploading them on a hosting site, like Photobucket. That resizes for you.

Any drawbacks to the lift that you've found so far? I'm having the wife go and make my truck an appointment today for mine. Shoudl have the parts in about a week. Did you put in the fender-well covers? Also, did you need to do an alignment, as well?
