So I believe I've gotten everything that I needed for this kit I have a 97 Z71 4 by 4 it already has 285 75 16 on it and then they do not rub so what I'm trying to figure out is what all do I need besides this lift kit Suburban it came off of had the same as stock brake lines that look like they just relocated them I cannot find any information on this lift kit other than four by four magazine had a showing of it but BDS doesn't make the kit anymore I can't even find the install instructions

It's off of a 95 and I think it' older. Their newer stuff all uses spindles to correct steering angles
I'm in Prescott Valley Arizona.
definitely could use some instructions. I know I can put it on no problem I've been a mechanic most of my life but I just like to have instructions for it to see if they have any comments about Driveline angles or anything like that some of these kits required a Special cv driveline.

I'm also curious is this going to make my truck ride like crap? Otherwise I think I'd rather just not even put a lift on it I could go ahead and put a body lift on it without having to modify any of the suspension if I wanted to run bigger tires I don't really want to run bigger tires anyways

I havent put it on yet.
I don't think I'm going to lift my truck. I already have a diesel on 35s with a lift. Rides like crap so I don't wanna do all this work to find out it sucks and I've then cut off my bump stops.
For now I'm doing my headers maybe when I get caught up . Almost rather find a beater truck to use it on.

No forum is as active as it used to be. Everybody uses FB now and the info gets buried and lost forever, ****** worthless but hey at least you can see what your friend's friend's friend had for lunch and how they feel about Trump being president.
