break out the sawzall. thats my answer. but if your not willing to sacrifice the body, pull the shock. check and make sure it compresses. if your on a tight budget, like rolling pennies for gas, autozone has cheap shocks that will get you by that will bolt right in. you're looking at about...

like everyone else said, body lift might be the way to go. i know i spent a pocket full of money, as well as probably 96procomp. i still need to fix my rear bumper. thanks for reminding me procomp. haha

i dont recall you saying what kind of headers you were going to run. currently, i'm running the edelbrock gaskets that came with my headers. i had to do no triming, and everything lined up perfectly like someone made it just for me. i have run it through water, mud, and fine sand. yet i have...

i do. i just have to get them uploaded. check this thread in a day or two

that should fit. i could fit 22s on my s10 if i tried hard enough

i have a 6" suspension lift, with the 3" body lift on top. its good if you're trying to get some easy lift for bigger tires

you beat me to it :sad:

in about 2 weeks(only because my tahoe is still sitting in el paso, as i am at fort hood, and have to pick it up), i will be getting ready to draw up the brackets. i don't have the tools or supplies, but will take it to a machine shop, and have them make them for me. if they turn out good, i...

body lifts are really easy to perform. shouldn't take you more then 2-3 hours if done by yourself

i recommend bringing a tahoe of the month forum here. every month have a different category like best lifted, dropped, under construction, loudest, cleanest, etc. whatever category for the month is, give like a week to submit they're own vehicles, then have a poll. just my opinion :lam:

i just use mud to cover up the cloudiness

i'd have to agree with 96procomp, pro comp is the way to go. the only thing i had to modify was where the old upper control arm connected to the frame, so i can properly mount the new upper control arm mount(little redundent). but, if you found one with no mods needed, more power to ya...

i'm in the same boat as 96procomp. i have the 6" pro comp lift with the 3" body lift, and it ran me about 2k even. granted, i did the install myself. but if you're looking for 4.5, you're looking at about 14-15 hundred. i have yet to regear(broke as hell), but i'm running 37" tires on a...

might just be easier to fab one up. that's what i'm going to be doing

i cant understand that. i mean, i totally understand the purpose behind two alternators, but i think it'd almost be easier to run a capacitor and have an extra yellow top optima connected with the other battery. but, you gotta do what you gotta do for that bass

that seems like WAY to much work to me. just trade it in and by a 3/4 ton. just my opinion, but if you're going to be putting that much work and money, you'd be better off trading it up to a 3/4. just my opinion

its all good. that's why these forums are here :225:

you shouldn't need a torch or welder, although it does make life easier. the direct fit cats will bolt up to your headers(exhaust manifold) with no issues. there should be a u-bolt to connect it to the exhaust. welding would be better, but not necessary. and its only 3 bolts on each header...

goodmark is the place to go. i have heard nothing but great reviews from them. all you do is unscrew the factory hood from the hinges, and screw this one on. done. :yesnod:

here's an easy way to figure it out. generally, a 6 inch suspension lift will have you clearing 35 inch tires. so for every inch you increase or decrease. i have 37 inch tires on a 6 inch suspension, 3 inch body lift. i know 96procomptahoe has 6 inch suspension with 35s. but with the 4.5, i...
