Exhaust or lift first?
O.K. I order my Blistein Shocks and they will be installed on Saturday. I want to do the MagnaFlow system with this Borla Tip. Should I do my lift before the exhaust system? Will the lift effect it any? I wanted to get my wheels and tires before the lift but cant untill after vacation time due to the $$$$ I know we will spend, but I am going to NEED the exhaust system soon.

As long as your installer knows that you will be doing a BL and to tuck things up close, there should be no problem.
As easy as the shocks are to install, why don't you do it yourself?
Even if you have no tools, I bet you can purchase what you need close to what the installation will cost. We can talk you through it and the tools will be with you 40 yrs after you trade the crew.

I wish I could install em myself. I use to swap engines and trannys and do all the work on my rides. I have all the tools but I had a fall a few years back and tore both my shoulders all to hell. Now my check book does all my work. The shop I go to does great work and the guys that are going to do my lift are on the ball too. http://www.ecoh4x4.com/ These guys did all the work on my last S-10 4x4.

If I was closer and I am sure I speak for all of us..............we'd do it for some ice water (or beer) and some old war story swapping. Am sorry if I offended, Brother:)

WATER!!!? It would have to be COLD beer. There's alway some Heinekens and Coors Lite in my frig. It depends on what kind of a day I had at work on which one I grab when I get home. Any time any of you guys what a cold one your welcome to it. The only one that I have seen even close to me is Jeff024. I'm an old Earnhardt fan but I wont go there. Thanks for the offer and no offence taken.
