3 inch body lift removal

[southern_z71_92]

Hey guys im new to this forum and new to the k1500 trucks. i have a 1992 Chevy z71 extended cab. it currently has the older rough country 3 inch lift kit, and a 3 inch body lift brand unknown. it has 36/12.5 super swamper tsl tires. im down sizing on tires going to a 33/12.5 trail grappler mt in a few weeks and need to know what all there is to remove the body lift. and what i am going to no need to make the chassis mounting back to stock.

my questions:
What all do i need to remove?
What am i going to need to bolt the body back to the frame as if factory?
Am i going to need new body bushings or should i just reuse the original ones?

You will need to remove all the body lift blocks, fan shroud spacer, steering extension, shift linkage extension, fuel filler neck extension and e-brake cable relocator. You will have to get all stock length body bolts and stock bumper brackets. If the body mount bushings are in good condition there is no problem reusing them.

ok thanks. i have no lower fan shroud and no e-brake so thats a few things i wont have to remove.

You may want to add the lower fan shroud.. helps pull more air, might not be neccesary unless your in a lot of stop n go traffic in hot weather.
Also, I'd say remove the 3" RC kit and keep the bodylift lol

How are your cv angles with the 3" rough country kit right now?

Yea, id go with keep the body lift. those 3inch lifts are terrible for front end parts

i cant stand the body lift. my cv angles arent the best in the world but i am going to crank the t bars down when i get the 33s on and body lift off. and i might order the newer 3 inch rough country lift cause it has the drop brackets that could help that cv angle.

You should save your money, or Spend a little bit more and get the 4" RCX

I'd take the old body lift off your hands.

 

[southern_z71_92]

i might invest in the 4 inch rcx but for now im just going to stay with what i have for a while.
