Progress!! Are you doing everything yourself?

Yes!


Well I didn't finish it this weekend. I got the brackets on though. And I changed all the ball joints on Sunday.

Today I hung the control arms. I have no picture since it started to rain.

Here a picture from Saturday.

I only have a few hours a day to work on it and it sucks. I'm about 30 hrs into it from the start.

Sweet build you got man. Its funny, some of my favorite GMT400s are 94s. Guess that's just a good year. Going to be ordering a Super lift for my truck in the next month or so, any tips for what I'm getting myself into?

'94 is the best year!

It's really not a bad lift. You are going to need a 1/5 drill or a 1/2 drill bit with a reduced shank.

The rear cross member sucks too put on.

The upper control arm brackets are a tight tolerance, so they are a ***** to get in.

If you have any questions just ask.

Good deal, never done a lift before. But with the proper tools and half decent instructions I think I can get it done.
