Body lift question

[97YukonGuy]

I had a quick question.
When doing a 3in body lift is there anything else i have to do? As in with the steering or wires?

Thanks in advance

Steering- Nope. You're not altering the suspension. All your doing is lifting the body from the frame. However, I'd get a alignment when you have different tires put on (Assuming your truck is stock and your doing a body lift to run larger tires)

As for the wiring, I don't think so. But hopefully some one who has done a body lift can chime in. I've never done a body lift, because I personally do not like them.

I installed a 3" bl on my yukon 2 weeks ago. I didn't have to do anything with any wires, just watch as you're lifting that nothing stretches beyond its limit.

My body lift kit came with a steering extension. I probably didn't have to use it, but it made me feel better to put it on. Better safe than sorry.

get the lift from summit. mine was 170 ish shipped. steering extension was easy install. all the wires and such moved fine. did this in my driveway. you can get rear bumper brackets from zone off road for 100 bucks

Well i bought just the body lift block from a buddy brand new (he lost the steering extension) so thats why i was wondering if i could get away with out it

There's a tutorial on how to do a body lift on an OBS truck over at www.gmt400.com. It's a sticky under the "stock suspension and bolt ons" category on their forum. It helped me a lot with my install. This was my first time lifting and it went real well in my driveway with just hand tools and a big breaker bar.
