Truckin suspension lift

Coda · Post by **Coda** » Mon Oct 04, 2004 6:56 am

While i was just looking around the net for some other lift options i remembered that truckin suspensions made a 6" lift for our trucks. I went on the site and it says 1995 - 2003 CHEVROLET S10,S15,BLAZER,JIMMY LIFTKIT 6.5" BL9503 S10 FRONT/REAR
Body Type: SUV Wheel Drive: 4WD .... Would this kit work on our Crews? And does anyone know if someone has had one of their lifts their truck (i heard that they are not the best lifts). And info would be great.. thanks,

I think that Warn originally had one of these on his before he went SFA. Highroller has the 5-7 or something on his and is reportedly doing ok -- it is unknown if he goes offroad with it--doesn't post here much.

You are correct in that the company is a derivative of AIM industrues who is notorious in the automotive aftermarket for problems with customer service, and at times, lackluster parts.

Among other threads I found those quickly by mtyping in "truckin" on the search function.

looking through the old members pages i saw itleast 2 or 3 trucks all with truckin suspension lifts. One had the 7 incher on it and it looked pretty good. As for the fact that truckin suspension is a derivitive from AIM industries im giving my truck to a shop to install the lift so im cofident that even if the instructions are bad etc. im sure theyve seen it before and know how to handle it... I think an s-10 crew would look awesome with the 7in lift and a 2 in pa body lift. Im going to call my shop tomorrow and see if they use truckin suspension lifts...

email the guy with the 7in aim, first off he doesn't even have the crew anymore, and from what i remember from when i talked to him, he said the lift was garbage and i believe he said he had to take it off to sell it, besides the fact that that lift is for show, not go, the instructions even say that they are not for offroad use, warnoffroad had one, i think a 5in, his broke thats why he went to SFA

It was a good lift for street, road the same as stock minus the swampers. Untill I got offroad

did alright untill the wonderful pops from down under. I guess it all depends how heavy you are on the gas
