I installed the 1.5" zone body lift. I had it installed by myself in a few hours. Very easy to install. Only issue I had was one body mount bolt is still broke in the body.
Update on the truck and life.
Right now I am having some OD shifting issues. Truck wont shift into 4th gear. Im going to be swapping out the 2 solenoids and pulling out the servo to clean in that area. I am wondering if the trans got some debris in the 2-3 servo and 4th gear hold servo when i changed the trans filter, pan and cooler. I hope this will fix it.
I wasnt able to take our planned Moab trip due to starting a new job soon. I hope to go next march, or sooner. I will keep updating this thread for my build.
Right now I have picked up a few other items waiting to be installed..High lift 48" extreme and some hi lift accesories, Midland 75-822 radio, winch bumper, front hellas, back up lights.
I will keep updating this thread for my build.

Fixed the OD issue! Changed both shift solenoids and stroked the servo a few times. I dont know if it was debris or what, but i have 4th gear. I will be swapping out the servo with the better "vette" servo in a coupel weeks. I hope to install the bumper at that time and take some more photos.

Hey nice truck, giving me ideas for mine. I have a 2002 Ex cab Z71 like yours in gray. So far I put a bigger transmission cooler, KYB steering stabilizer and did the suburban brake upgrade too it, I also have a set of GK torsion bars which should give me a bit of lift. Keep the pictures coming!

Update! Bumper installed!
Some cell phone picks of the bumper installed. I have not welded up the "prerunner bar" yet. Maybe next month when I get moved into our new house.

What's the "Suburban brake upgrade"?

The SUV's have dual piston rear calipers, I believe. Also the 05' + have a large front brake setup but you must ahve a 17" wheel. The SUV brake upgrade is on my list. Google search " Silverado rear suv brakes" and "silverado budget brake ." Id post the link to the other site, but being that it is another forum, i am not sure if that is appropriate.
Thanks,

Nice truck and love the bumper!
Bumper looks awesome! Hope the Midland is treating you well

Thanks for the comments. The handheld is great. I brag about it to anyone that asks. I actually broke the car adapter today when it fell under my seat and i scooted the seat forward. Do you have a adapter you can send for a trade off of some nice, high quality pics of it installed?Bumper looks awesome! Hope the Midland is treating you well
