I started the lift on my 03' GMC with the installation of my 3" body lift.
All the plans are:
3" bodylift---------------done
9.5" front lift-----------ordered
7" rear lift--------------waiting on front now
4.56 gears----------------done
Detroit truetrac----------done
front skid plate----------waiting on suspension
traction bars-------------buy later down the road
lengthen drive shaft------waiting on lift
Baer brake kits-----------ordering this week
20x10 black Diamo wheels--have
37x13.50x20 Toyo OC M/T's-<had to settle for 35x12.50s>mounted and balanced

Hopefully it will all be done by the first of July, and with no problems will have pics and updates later.

sold my 20's so I put the factory 245s back on, installed the truetrac and gears, bought the tires a week ago, but the place I bought them from still hasn't gotten them in:mad:, could be another week! I'm still waiting on my front suspension to come in, and I got the new rear leafs now.

[White_Stealth]

Ok went to the tire dealer this weekend, the 37's are still on back order with no concrete date on showing up so I decided to just run 35's for now.
here they are mounted and balanced on the Diamos

The lift is supposed to be here tommorow, so It will be goin on this weekend!

[w33m4n0268]

how much did the tires and wheels run you?

[White_Stealth]

wheels were $800 off ebay, and the tires mounted and balanced were $1521.

[White_Stealth]

been in contact with the frieght company about my lift, I need someone home to sign for it, talked to them a 2.30 today and they said they were about to drop off. Called my lil sis to see if she would sign for it, and she said yeah, call her back at 3, and the lil bish was at the mall:wtf:, needless to say I'm really pissed off at her right now, 1 simple little task show up and stay there for 30 minutes and sign for a delivery!! I work 25 miles away so its impossible for me, The company wouldn't ship to my work, only to my billing address, so hopefully they will show up in the mornin' early!

[White_Stealth]

finally got my suspension today!! only took 4 weeks, it will go under the knife tommorow night, after work, and I will be pulling an all-nighter Friday night to finish it, hopefully have it done and at the alignment shop by noon on Saturday. I'll have pics later this weekend if all goes as planned.

[White_Stealth]

Started my suspension lift thursday night after work and did the rear, took about 3 hours. Did the front on Friday night, and I just now finished, it's 5:30 in the am, front took 12 hours, plus the installation of the skid plate, and reprogramming the comp for the tires, The front end is completely out of wack, it will hit the alignment shop as soon as the doors open in a couple of hours, all I can say is it is BAD A$$ :rocking: . I will have pics later on tonight because I'm at work and I'm 40 miles away from home, so I am going to stay here and bs for a while!:happy::happy::happy::happy:

you have everything else color matched white, why not the handles and tailgate latch?

[orangechevy04]

dude that thing rocks so hard core! really bad ass!!!

[Ls1smlblck]

That looks good!

[White_Stealth]

Because if I did that then the side steps on the bed, bumper, and the bed & T-gate caps would still be black, I just didn't like the chrome on the front end, and the mirror were damaged take-off's with signals.

[whiskeytown]

looks good man...

[White_Stealth]

That looks good!
looks good man...
Thanks

[lonmoer]

[chevycoonazz]

man thats a big difference compared to what you started of with

[isenegger]

what lift is that? looks like procomp. how big?

[White_Stealth]

what lift is that? looks like procomp. how big?

Procomp in the front 7"
Superlift/Skyjacker in the back 7"
will be getting a set of uca built to get another 2" out of the front to level it out, it doesn't look that bad it actually measures out at an inch difference on the wheel wells.

[isenegger]

it looks good. here is what im going for on mine....but with some 20's http://i49.photobucket.com/albums/f276/isenegger/93.jpg

[mikeyman]

how much did the rear springs cost you??? and where from??, im thinking of switching to those springs in the rear with a 1.5 in block

[White_Stealth]

The springs were around $350 for the pair, and I bought them from 4wheel parts. Even with the 2 inch block there is no axle wrap whatsoever!!

[mikeyman]

sweet... did the ubolts work from the 2 inch block kit or did you have to buy a different size

[White_Stealth]

The ubolts that came with the Skyjacker blocks were really long, I had to cut them down as I was tightening the nuts because there was so much extra thread

[lonmoer]

how about some bigger pics of the final product?

[White_Stealth]

[lonmoer]

[White_Stealth]

Alright now I see, I resized a couple of pics for something else and I guess I did the wrong ones, look now it should be fixed.

[WildChevys]

[White_Stealth]

Thanks, Your truck is lookin pretty sweet too!

But now thanks to you after seeing yours awhile back I have now begun the process of color matching the back half of the truck, did my handles this week, built a vinyl tonneau that is flush mount and white, and will be doing my bed steps, rear bumper and bed caps soon!
