I did a search and didn't get exactly what I wanted.
If I do a 6" spring pack in front and a shackle flip in back what all will I need extra besides brake lines, ebrake, shocks?
I'm not to good on lifts yet I'm just trying to figure my options.
Also how will it ride?
Thanks,
Rick

Drop pitman arm, maybe new driveshafts if you get unlucky, bigger tires cause you wouldn't want to look like a doof ;)

Shackle flip will gain a 6-7"

6" front SUA springs should get you really close to level.. if not... you can run a longer GM shackle up front.

extended rear line is a must... you can use drop brackets on the front lines if you want or GM brakelines ( they are about 5-6" longer)

The Ebrake line may be tight...

a 4" DPA will work for steering....

you may need to lengthen front shaft and modify exhaust to clear the extra drop in thge front shaft ( y-pipe clearance)... rear shaft should be fine.... if you use my kit :D

dont forget new shocks....
33's would be the max you will run for tires....

RB that is what I have in mind was your kit. I'm still trying to decide if I want to go that big or not.
