    Stock front driveshaft with 6 inch lift?

    From what I have read about the front shaft is when you lift it the angles get bad and you have to buy a double cardon shaft. If not you will have vibrations if you use 4 high over 35 miles an hour.

    Performance Accessories 3" body lift

    I know this is a bad pic but you can see where I cut it and then welded it back on. As you can see there are no brackets to mod and if you make a bracket it won't fit to give you any support.

    Torsion bar kit question?

    I went with rear Add A Leafs and it raised my rear up almost 3 inches because the thing is heavy as hell in the back and the springs were sagging a little. I then just cranked the torsion bars until it was level. I actually have the front higher now than what my pic shows.

    Performance Accessories 3" body lift

    Where the frame mounts to the bumper I went back a couple pf inches and cut them off then raised both sides 3 inches and welded it back on. I couldn't find a way to make brackets to raise the bumper up so that was my only choice. Trust me I didn't want to do it at first but couldn't find a...

    Performance Accessories 3" body lift

    I have a 3 inch body lift on my 98 4-door and 33x12.50 fits just fine. I had to cut the end of my rear frame and raise it 3 inches and weld it back on to raise the rear bumper. Now all I have to do is buy a rollpan hitch and then the reciever will be up where it belongs.

    Ford Torsion Keys On A 99 Tahoe 4x4

    If it is a new body style than it will work but it doesn't work on the old body style. It fits them all but the OBS doesn't need them.

    Torsion Bars

    I think they can become weak and lose some lift up front but as far as a rough ride it sounds like they are working fine.

    how much lift

    I have a 98 4 dorr hoe with a 3" body lift and 33x12.50 17s. I have plenty of room to even put 35s on it. I have researched the different torsion bar keys and I have been told that on OBS trucks it doesn't do any good. We have enough adjustment with the stock keys. You just have to get an...

    Body lift and C.A.I.

    I have a 3" body lift on a 98 Tahoe and I want to get the K&N cold air induction. Has anyone done this and what mods do I need to do? I thought about a throttle body spacer but K&N doesn't recommend that. They say I have to modify the kit but they won't tell me how because it voids the warranty.

    Rear springs

    How many leaf springs come stock on a '98 tahoe 4x4? Also how can you prevent axle wrap without ladder bars or the B.S. helper springs you see for sale that are bent really weird?

    98 tahoe u-joint clank.

    So has anyone really figured out the true cause of the "clank" in the rear of the vehicle? My 98 does it and I thought it was the brakes. I checked them and found that they needed adjusting but didn't stop the noise. Drivetrain is tight so I am lost!!!!!! I also checked the torsion bar...

    Need more tires!

    I have a 98 tahoe with a 3 inch body lift and 33/12.50/17s. I want to go with 35s and was wondering would they fit or do I need to do a suspension lift. I am currently looking at the Mickey Thompson 315/70/17 MTZ. Would levelers work or d I actually need a suspesion lift.
