Hey! I got this
http://fatbobsgarage.com/i-7543234-...rban-yukon-3-body-lift-4wd-2wd-2000-2005.html
locally off of craigslist for $150, and yes it was brand new and in the box!
I don't have any experience with body lifts but my friend does. We are going to try and do this Sunday. Just wondered if anyone had some tips? My body has a shot so we have all the tools and even a lift if we need it. Thanks for any advice.

Well we lifted it. Took forever haha. For some reason the drivers side is a 1/2 inch lower then the passanger side. Not sure what that could be.

That's just the "Chevy lean". The driver side is usually always lower by a 1/2"

Do it yourself man. $400 is a steep price for what is basically unbolting-jack-place pucks-new bolts.

Did my Sierra, first time, in under 3 hours by myself. Second one I did took me about 1.5 hours.

The local 4 wheel parts place here wanted $700 to do it! I think it cost me $20 for the beer for us to do it, so thats a big savings!

Looks great man!! Is a 3 inch body lift all you have, or do you have keys and spacers?
