Finally got my BL on (UPDATE more pics pg 2)

finished up putting my body lift on today. It was defiantly quit a bit of work to instal but nothing to bad. The hitch is off at the loacal welding shop to be brought up 3" and I just won a set of GM tow hooks for the front so they dont hang low. Im pretty happy with it so far, i should be ordering my tires and gap guards with in the next week 315/75R16 MTZ's and already have some 058 EA rims sitting here ready to go.

Now the only question to buy some 3" blocks for the back and crank the bars the rest of the way or not, it already has some AAL's back there that i just realized i had haha

here are some pics

It should be that height coming from the factory. Looks good and I don't see any gaps anyway. Remember, cranking the bars makes for a rough ride.

I know cranking the bars will make for a rough ride, tomorrow ill probably measure everything and then crank the bars all the way just so see how much height i can get out of them then bring them back down to where they are or 1" higher than the rear if that will still leave room for some susp droop.

thanks man, your threads and JK007's have both been a ton of help getting this done, as far as making the purchase and how to put the thing on

Just an update i order everything i needed yesterday, got a call from the welding shop and my hitch is done and needs to get picked up. Got the tires from our local 4x4 shop for a better price then i could find anywhere online and mounting and balancing for a very fair price as well. Im have the front bars cranked up just a bit more and Im going with the 3" block in back and gap guards from summit. Hopefuly its done by the weekend alignment and all. Ill get picks up as soon as its done
