Ball joint spacers and front diff. Drop.

buy the 6 inch and crank it down mine is around 4 in the front and stock in the back and ride like a stock truck on these 15x12.5 and 33s

Ah gotcha- so its really a 4 inch lift and the extra two are optional via crank? That is awesome as I was looking at the RCD lift and I really like the knuckles instead of drop brackets but its 2.5 the price!

That’s funny I started this thread almost 10 years ago. Sold that 5sp truck 8 years ago and drive diesels. Now back in a gmt400 picked up a 97 z71 with 88k miles on it sat.

thank ya, these have always been my favorite body style truck. I’m in a position now that I don’t have to drive my truck daily like I used to so this ones goal is to stay super nice like it is now.

Bringing up an old thread: I am doing BJ's and TRE's soon and I have a 2 inch crank and wanted to see if anyone has done home made/ DIY upper BJ spacers on a k2500... I am debating on grinding the upper bumpstop but only need about of a 1/4 inch to get back to within stock measuments on the upper control arm. There is a company on ebay that makes a welded arm that looks great but they are 400$! I figure if I space the upper ball joint (already on the udnerside so no flip needed on the k2500/ 3500) down 1/4 inch maybe 3/8 at the most with 1/4 inch plate or washers it will get the upper BJ back to factory angles + provide the right clearance on the upper arm.

Thx!

I'm in the process of doing that right now. I have the driver's side done. I'm using the old factory torsion keys for the bj spacers.
