Thinking Of A 1.5" Bl

[sab316]

I'm tossing the idea around and considering adding it to the pot of other stuff I wanna do to the truck this summer... Question though... Would I need gap guards with only the 1.5" body lift? If so would the GM wheel wells cover it up or would I have to fabricate something up?

gm wheel well liners should do it

I helped a friend of mine install one and unlike a 3" kit you didn't end up with any big gaps. Actually, it was hard to tell it had a body lift on it.

Yeah I'm not looking to get the huge truck look. A 1.5" makes it look real good... Thats what I'm going for is just to give it a bit of lift and make that appearance that much better

The GM wheel well liners will work fine. I have seen them with 3" BL's.

I have the 1.5" BL and the gm rear covers will cover that gap. I have didn't have any gap guards on my truck for awhile and no one can tell I have a body lift at all. I am installing the GM rear covers this weekend if weather permits.

No they will not. I have to custom cut them to clear my airbag brackets.

If I ever get a body lift I will probably get the 1.5" from zone because it does not extend the steering wheel, I dont know why but feel unconfortable with the idea of a steering wheel extender wich comes with all 3" body lifts

 

For those of you with a 1.5" body lift how hard was it to install? zone says 3 to 5 hours for the 1.5" body lift and 8 hours for the 3" body lift.

1.5" took me 3 hours by myself and hand tools. The 3" took me about 3 hours too, by myself. EASY!

what tools do you need?? Anything special? I am probably just going to add the 1.5" and put it on by myself. (i feel like maybe the 3" with the fabtech would make 35s look too small?!) I havent looked at any kind of instructions, I am assuming the zone kits come with install instuctions.

 

Just thinking aloud really for any kind of tips I should know about b4 putting it on.

Go with the 3". Your 35's will look fine.

yah it looks fine on yours but I dont want step bars and I have the GM perfomance exhaust and Im not about to cut that up to hide the tip

The frame exposure isn't bad at all. It really just looks like an HD with a 3" BL. As far as the exhaust tip, can't you just shorten the hangers?

That might work. I'll look into it. I still have a couple months till the weather breaks so I got some time to mull it over yet.
