Then I went ahead a did the passenger side. (also if you nociced I found a leaky axle seal)
Then I put the blocks in and bolted the axle up.
Then bolted the nitrogen charged shocks up.
Then I mounted the wheels and let it on the ground. Ended up netting almost 6" of lift in the back, probably more like 5"-5.5".
And this is why I have yet to lift the rear more to match the front (after I added the coil spacers). In order to add more lift I need either a full custom driveshaft, get mine lengthened, or get a Suburban one shortened plus maybe even clearancing the cross member. I will get a longer drive shaft eventually but not at the moment, so far, even with it as far out as it is and barely engaging the trans, it's been pretty stable.
Plus I do plan to make it 4x4 some point in the future and do a SAS with either a Ford D44 with Chevy outers to keep 6 lug or try to get a late model square body Suburban with the transfer case that has the electric speedo and do a Chevy D44. But, that's pretty far in the future... unless I come across a killer deal.
Then I started on the front end.
Take the rotor and knuckle off.
