Re: 88-98 body lifts

well first off some trucks can fit 33's stock unlifted and some can fit 35's stock with out lift and some can only fit 33's with a lift, others fit 35's.

So each truck is different.

These kits come with a auto trans. linkage extension to extend it, and also you have to lengthen or adjust the floor shift 4x4 linkage to make it work, and a steering extension goes in as well. Front bumpers brackets usually come in the kits but rears don't, you buy them seperate for about $57

Just go to summit's website and read the instructions pdf file and performance accessories website has them same set of instructions for theirs. Also zone offroad I think it has a kit and instructions as well. All on their sites you can download and read.
