Where have you guys put your emergency brake cable bracket that came with the kit? I cannot find a place to put the thing to make the cable tight again.

Nice reading,although it's a shame the pictures is all gone, i would love seeing the pictures! any easy fix on that?
I Have a question, i was looking at a performance accessories 3inch body lift kit but the appearently it says "does not fit on diesels", actually it says so on most of BL's... how come? I want to raise mine 3" and get some 33's on!

I think that has to do with the bumper vents and air flow for the pmd. Westmimudder had one on his 6.5

it does fit diesels, jeramy had one on his 95 6.5, why does it say that? id likely assume because it requires modification to the shroud and raises the bumper holes which are both used for cooling purposes, thats my only guess.

On our trucks, it's because the body lift buries the turbo into the inner fender well when lifted, at least on my suburban it did. On say for example, the Cummins trucks, it's because the intercooler pipes need to be modified.

So it causes the turbo to overheat due to being "buried"? Then what to do if you want to lift your 6.5TD without it costing thousands of dollars?..
