Using this lift kit is a great way to upgrade your Chevy or GMC vehicle. First, make sure you have all the necessary tools, like a Torsion Bar Tool. If you're a gas - powered model, plan for exhaust modification. When installing, follow the provided instructions carefully as some welding and frame bracket and differential mount modifications are needed. Remember, traction bars won't fit standard cab/short box models. And if you want a tail - high stance, use the #119157 add - a - leaf with the block kit. For maintenance, regularly check the skid plate for any signs of damage, especially after off - road use. Keep an eye on the shocks too. If you notice any leaks or reduced performance, it might be time to replace them. Also, make sure the cross - members and other components are tightly secured. And always use the recommended tire and wheel combinations to avoid any issues.
