Body lift

[WildBill]

So ive read on here that a 1.5 body lift for a OBS will work on a NBS?

What is involved in a small body lift like that? Any wiring, brake hose, steering shaft extensions required?

Anyone seen a install guide of some kind for this?

1.5 bl for a 99-02 silvy will work for hoes

 

[WildBill]

sweet. how about the install and other mods required?

Does the truck lift move the rear bumper up or do you have to make your own bracket? If the OBS fits the NBS does the bumper move with it?

old body style and new body style

why do you want to do a body lift? i was able to lift the front of my tahoe 2.5" for $180 with some extended bilsteins...

 

[WildBill]

Because, I already have keys and spacers. I want a few more inches of lift, but I dont want a 6" lift. so a body lift is the next step.

how did you get lift from new shocks ???

Any way...Can someone fill me in on the body lift details on a nbs?

Body lift includes blocks to go on all the body mount locations and longer bolts to accommodate the blocks as well as a steering shaft extender and bumper lift brackets because the bumpers are mounted to the frame so if you lift the body the bumpers will stay low and look stupid

 

[WildBill]

how about brake lines and electrical extensions? are they required on only a 1.5" lift? and How do you do it??? it seems like you can't unbolt the whole body and start jacking on one end without bending or tweaking the body?

 

[Splatmaster527]

For just a 1.5in lift brake lines and electrical would probably be fine.
The ideal situation is to have a lift and lift the whole body at once but in a driveway install you will basically be unbolting all the mounting points jacking up the body sliding in the blocks and putting the bolts back in.
