7"FTS lift questions

SarahsGMC · February 8, 2013

Alright I've got the money and looking to order the 7" full throttle suspension basic block lift with basic shocks for my 2006 sierra ccsb 1500

I need to know are there any modifications that will need to be done such as brake lines steering driveshaft etc I'd like to go into this knowing as much as I can so I can get necessary things together before we lift it rather than not being prepared. It will be a few weeks before it gets done so we have plenty of time to get things going.

If it's a full suspension lift, I'd look into aftermarket tie rods and a dual cardan front drive shaft eventually. You wouldn't have to do it right away though. I'm not sure about the brake lines but my guess would be they'll need lengthened.

I'm looking at immediate like while the lift is being installed modifications, you know like things I'd hate to find out I'd need to do while I'm doing the lift lol

And any prices suggestions and tips from first hand experience would be appreciated

Does FTS list their instructions online? Otherwise I'd PM Frank on GMFS and have him send you the instructions via PDF
