Currently I'm 5/6. BT spindles, djm lca, bilstien shocks, stock keys. Rear is tony springs, helper bags, BT ST Shocks, sphon adjustable pan hard, djm sway bar kit. Love the look but now that I have picked up a 92 dropped c1500 project race truck I'm looking for a better ride quality then lowered. I live in mass and roads SUCK. So I was thinking 2-3 lift keys 1.5-2 rear spacer z71 springs. Shocks?

I was eyeing the rough country kit for 260 comes with shocks to and then all I would need is rear coils. Any input on how the kit is with there shocks. Or different set up?

I have all stock parts beside shocks and rear springs. Been looking for correct part number for z71 springs.

Also interested In more info on a 1.5 inch body lift?

I've spent hours on google and reading pages of Tyf threads. So any help Or info would be great guys. Thanks in advanced.

Btw I have a 2002 Yukon Denali. My lowering parts will be up for sale or trade once I get a game plan in order.

Thanks Billy.

Moog 81069 Suspension Coil Spring

There is the part number in moog for coils equivalent to the z71 coil, get you some
3" lift keys with shock extenders
1.5" coil spring spacers for out back
Crank the front keys to level to the back, maybe just a little higher, an it will ride good, both my hoes ride great!

Thanks for the info @liftedtahoe.

I have all stock parts beside shocks/rear springs. So I figured I'd get shocks for being a little lifted and not have to run shock extension. That's why the rough country caught my eye with shocks. Just wondering how people like the ride with the shocks and if it's worth the money.

I saw 3 inch keys, 1.5 spacer shock extenders for like 125 shipped.

Thanks for the part # on rear springs.

What size tire do you run? Seems like this lift is good for 33's.

Thanks Billy.

I actually have 3" keys 2" spacers and a 3" body on 35s, but 33s are perfect for the setup your going to run, I actually bought all my stuff seperate, 3" keys and shock extenders up front for 60$ shipped and 2" spacers were 40$ shipped on ebay! I actually just got this setup for now, but before long I'm getting a 12" full throttle lift!

Ride looks sick.

What was involved with the body lift how much stuff needed to be modified or lengthened to work.

I'm awd so I don't think I can go with a crazy suspension lift due to drivetrain. I was considering a 1.5 inch body lift to. Interested to see how involved the 3 inch is.

Thanks Billy

Thanks bro, let's see nothing was really extended except for my gas filler neck, of course the ground wires had to be extended but it came with metal brackets that extended those, everything has brackets so no cutting an extending that way, came with everything I needed bumper brackets and all!

Body lift on an SUV is pretty involved, but if you can loosen some bolts, jack the body up and put the spacers in, you can do it. Can be very time consuming if you live in the rust belt. 1.5" body lift with keys and spacers will look very good with a set of 33's.

Looking the past couple to seek out the better of the 6" suspension kit's. Anyone recommend one over the other? Leveled stiff running 33's & BS 5100's + 2nd set of poorly angled CV's.
