2 door Tahoe 3" Body lift questions?

[305Tahoe]

Hey guys done some searching but still NOT SURE...

ive got a 96 2dr Tahoe 4x4

For a 3" body lift , do I need to extend the steering linkage along with the tranny one???

 

[kickitandholdit]

probably steering extension gas line extension and trany linkage not sure about brake lines

but i think you can just get away with trany linkage.

Brakes lines you'll want to extend. Imagine when your suspension is at is fullest you'll be stretching that brake line to it fullest and over time might break it. A buddy a long while back did a 3" and you could bounce a qtr off the brake lines while the suspension was at rest.

i have a 3" body lift and have had it for about 10 years now. i only did the shroud, steering and parking brake link that runs along the outside of the frame.

I aslo did this last year and have had absolutely no problems with mine. I installed the steering linkage but i really didnt need to cause i had plenty of steering shaft after the lift but i put it on anyways. but definately the parking brake cable and the shroud.

anyone have pictures of 3" body lift? im thinking about on but i dont like the look of the frame hanging down or when people dont use gap guards and i can see a space between body and frame

then you wont like a BL because there's quite a bit of frame showing. i'm used to mine..i don't like that it shows that much, but it is what it is.

is it so much that the running boards dont cover up the frame? the running boards i just took off my 99 pretty much covered the frame up completely at stock height.

nerf bars seem to hide it ok.
