Title: Lift Switch
Post by: smokin77 on September 16, 2002, 02:38:00 pm

I want to put the 4" lift from my 77k10 in my 85k10. Besides the pitman arm, springs, and blocks what else needs to be changed? Do i need to extend the brake lines? I have front quad shocks, do i need special shocks, or can all 6 shocks be the same?(The frt4 and the 2 rear)

the front 4 shocks are all the same, the back two are taller.

I put a 4in Rough Country on my 85k10, rear blocks and new shocks. The front with new springs and four new shocks and the pit arm. I didn't extend my brake lines, for normal driving I have enough, even over curbs, but serious 4x4 you might want longer ones. Other thing you'll run into are the drain lines on your axle diffs, just gotta make a lower mounting bracket, you should see what I mean.

What does the 4in lift on your 77 have?

Also remember to drop your transefer case, and fix your front driveline

You need to drop the brake hoses with brackets and change the steering arm.
