Re: Lift kit pics!
The only one running the 2.5" rough country lift is a Blazer. blaz is the member. There are some videos in the GoPro thread. Check the NOS forum.
The Member rides thread is a good place to look at pictures.

There you go! No speculation, straight from one with first hand experience

Re: Lift kit pics!
Hey thanks alot for the help, this is my first vehicle - watched CL for two years!
I do only city driving with some dirt roads, what do you think is best?
Marvelous Mystery Lift with 31"
Or 2" body lift and 2.5" RC with 31". ?
Which setup will have the least amount of repairs, front end work.. Ect?
I really like the 33" tires but I am afraid it wont handle well in the city/45mph.
BTW you got the coolest CC I have seen, it really looks good!
Like the blazer too I like both of your safari racks!
Thanks for the help, our family has not had a truck for over 15 years!

Re: Lift kit pics!
* Thought I was talking with F9K9, he a has a cool CC!
Re: Lift kit pics!
I just finished my RC kit yesterday on my CC and would second following Blaz's instructions. ESPECIALLY removing the steering link. I honestly don't think the diff will come out without doing that. It took me 1.5 hours to get it out once I got to that point and 1.5 minutes to put it back in. has to be twisted a bit then rotated like 90* with the half-shaft pointing to the rear to get it out. I REALLY wish RC would have mentioned a bit more about that in their instructions other than "Remove the diff"...
Haven't done a BL yet, but it's moving up on the list as I slowly get other mods done and slowly gather funds. Good luck!

Re: Lift kit pics!
Here is a before picture...not ideal but it's before I lifted the front. I had a pretty solid rake of 2-3" before the RC.
Here is after.
The after pic has the TB's pushed a little too far and I have since brought it down to the RC recommended height. Saving up for the BL and bigger tires!

Re: Lift kit pics!
Oh yes it will. I'm on the prowl for a set of used MTs to try out and take me more places I shouldn't go. Next in line to that is a Synergy hidden winch. Should be fun!
