SarahGMC's 06 GMC Build

LongrangeLauber · July 30, 2013

I don't know how to work this site and I asked for help on how to find it in the other thread but nobody replied.lol

Mine on my 02 is not a 6" lift, even though that's what I ordered. Might be different for a NNBS truck though.

I'm going to a Mcgaughy's lift. Heard good things bout them, and price is not too bad. Will be ordering one after I get my gears installed and get 37's

Oh, and mine measured in at 4.5" on my front a arm drop bracket (middle of top bolt to middle of the lower bolt)

I searched and you have a thread in the suspension area

Make sure you shim the mirrors so the sit level not on an angle. Lots of guys upgrade to them on pre 06 trucks but don't shim them and it looks retarded. It's easy just stack a washer on the top bolts.

Do you know how many washers are needed per side? And will it still sit flush with the body? My tows are kicked up and it annoys me while towing

I'd say just test it for your specific truck

I used one washer on each mirror and helped a little bit but still a little bit to go. If I use more than one washer then the cover piece does not sit flush with body. Oh well...

Edit: Did the wrong technique. Looked it up and found a how to on leveling them on our forum. I was using washers on the top mounting bolt haha

Just buy a few different washers try it until they look level. Washers are like 10 cents.

Nice. I've used Gold Class from time to time for years and have had great results.

My boyfriend and I replaced my inner tie rod and cleaned up my siezed brake pins and our friend Ryan got it aligned. Also put some washers on the steering stabilizer bushings so it stopped slamming. Truck drives and stops like new now. Also have been featured yet again on another truck site.

Going to try something interesting either today or tomorrow, I have some leftover plasti dip will be testing it out as a brow on the windshield. I know other trucks have had issue with rain and wipers ripping it off but hey might as well give it a shot.
