The Body Lift Thread

XCVIII_SIERRA truck looks good but I think you need to black out the front bumper to tie in the rockers and fenders.

Also, I like the step boards from tahoe/suburban did they bolt right up or did you have to make custom brackets like fasrnu did?

Hi!
Got a lift kit from Summit, but it says that it is not designed for a diesel car.
What is the difference between the lift kit for gasoline and diesel suburban?
That there may still be needed?

I believe that it will work on your diesel but it could cause cooling issues with the motor.

I also believe in it, but what you may have problems with cooling? perhaps it may be difficult with hoses oil cooler. I have not found in our reports on the lift is diesel cars: (

I am not sure what you are trying to say but the body/body mounts are the same so you can put it on there and it will work. I am pretty sure it has to do with the front bumper being moved up and interfering with the cooling system.

Maybe so, but here in Moscow there are a few of these machines with lift kit and have no problems with cooling the engine.
In any case, thanks for the reply

So you know it is gonna work then?
It may not happen to all trucks but if it happens to a handful then the companies are gonna put a warning or something so they can cover their ass's when someones motor ***** up.

is a 2wd body lift come with the same stuff as a 4wd?
example: can a 1998 2wd body lift fit on a 1998 4wd?
