There is lastest picture of my 02 Crew. Currently Refreshed Engine and Tranny with stock 3:73LS, 6" Fabtech, 315 BFG but 36" Iroks pictured.


Will be adding 3" PA Bodylift, 4:89s with 38" PJ Dirt Grips

Parts Separated and ready to go

Just waiting on my Master Install Kit to arrive in the mail.

 

Sweet!

 

Awesome. Start spraying down your body bolts for the lift.

 

 

Nice its gonna looks sweet

 

Already bought some PB Blaster just for that. Im going to start spraying it down today so I gives it time to work.

Also received my gear install kit yesterday so this weekends R&P swap is a GO!

 

Nice!!! Can't wait to see it all finished

 

Today was not as progressive as I thought it would be, because I started off late in the morning. So I was only able to get some of the Cab part done. I can’t finish the truck till Wednesday when the shop on base opens back up. So I just wanted to post some of my notes before I forget.

*Instead of removing just the shroud like the instruction recommend. Save some time just remove Fan and Shroud all at once.
*Also you do not need to remove the steering cooler or Aux Tranny cooler

First No amount of PB can save the front most body mount bolts lol. Passenger side I hit it with an Impact and have way out broke off. Driver side I used just a breaker bar and some leverage. So this left the bodymount cups attached to the body. So what I did to fix this was as follows.
Moved the Radiator out of the way towards the engine with just enough room for the impact to reach the inside bodymount nuts(18mm). One of bolts came out all the way just with the impact. The other one only loosened up slightly but enough to fix a hacksaw in between the rad. frame and the cup. So just cut it as the kit replaces all the body bolts.
I was able to install all 8 3" lift blocks at once since the shop DIY shop has lifts. Which was really helpful.

 

Awesome can't wait to see what it looks like with the new lift

 

Well I have been taking my time working slow just making sure I get everything right. The cab is all done.
Here you can see the difference.

How i got to the front bodymount bolts behind the radiator without taking it out.

Fan Shroud Lowering Bracket


While i had the bumper off I took a picture of my B&M Tranny Cooler in the stock location.

All i did to mount it was bend the top part of the bracket flat and the cooler bolted right up.


I would have been done yesterday but i couldnt get 2 of the 6 bed bolts. So i will finish that the next time i get to go the shop.

 

To save more time in the future if you ever do it again. lol you don't have to remove the shroud it can be taken loose and cut on the truck. alot of the directions do not have to be followed its precautionary. Just done over 100's at my shop but can't wait to see the finished product, gonna look sweet

 

Well I finally finished the bodylift. I didnt get to install my 4:88s so untill next time. I was suprised at how well my truck drove with the 38s and stock gears cant wait till I have the gears installed. I will get better pictures of the truck tomorrow.
