i just finished installing a 1 inch body lift and the chevy drop shackles on my truck today. i cant wait to get my new wheels and tires mounted up this week.
befor

ooh ya almost forgot. i am putting 32x11.50x15 goodyear mtr's on 15x8 rock crawler "D" window wheels with 3 3/4 backspace

 

NICE~!!!!!! I rocked the 1" and 32's for a long while.....till i started feelin' small. Looks great man!

You gonna fill the tailgate/bumper gap? I did mine with diamond plate aluminum painted gloss black.

 

i am not sure yet. you cant really notice it right now. and just like i have read in the past i wishin i woulda gone bigger lol but with gas prices the way they are now i and glad i just goin with 32s. cant wait to get them on

 

Your sitting wayyy to High in the back. Rake. Have you cranked your Tbars?

 

Cranked bars AND shackles. The shackles added an additional 1.5-2" lift in the rear...that's why it's so raked.

 

i put the shackles on because when i put my 2 quads on the trailer it dropped the back of the truck lower and looked like crap. kinda like the big superduties you see towin stuff and the headlights are blinding airplanes. probably doesnt help much that my t bars got 90000 on them and proably sagging even though they are cranked. plus it will look a lot better once i get my 32s on

 

Crank your t-bars nowww! if u wanted 2 keep it from sagging u should of did AAL's

 

I have the same lift 1 in bl and shackles and crank and i have 33's that rank look isn't good!

Before

After

 

bars are cranked. left one is bottoomed out and right one could still go an inch.

 

Yeah i would have definatly done an AAL if your worried about sagging with a heavy load. Thats just too much rake. I know alot of guys will run the shackles but put in smaller block than factory.

I'm looking forward to pics with the bigger tires tho!

 

Looks aiight, you need a valance.

 

1" body, did you buy a 3" and cut it down?

 

Yea....them bars on your truck are probably sagged. I put on #1 bars(the highest spring rate) when I put the superlift on. My "B" bars were pretty saggy. I was maxxed out the driver side as well.


no....purchsed 1x3" blocks and bolts. That's all that's needed.

i purchased 1x3 body lift blocks from 4wheelparts. and used the 1" body lift sticky for the bolt lengths.

 

i am not worried about sagging with a load i just wanted the extra clearance and it was the cheap and easy way to do it

 

Nice, I like it raked more than I like the rear sagging when you tow stuff. BTW what is with two towing hitch *****?

 

actually the one on the bumper is a 1 7/8s. i never use it just have never gotten around to taking it off. and the lock i put on the drop is frozen and cant get the lock off it might have to cut it.
