Well I inhareted a really nice 85 3/4 ton Suburban that has a new interior, paint, 400c.i. small block, T400 Tranny, T-case, and 4" suspension lift 1ton locked axles F/R, 37" SSR's it has all been replaced withen the last year and a half. I dont like that it has a 3" body lift as well as the suspension lift. My question is what all do I need to take it off. Are there shift linkages that will need to be removed and swapped out It has an electric fan so a fan shroud will not be a problem, I know on my jeep I needed to do the linkages with just a 1" body lift, also will the body mounts still be on there with the pucks or will I need to purchase new ones. Also can I do one side at a time like I did with my jeep or go front to rear etc. I just dont know how I would lift the entire body at once. Thanks for any suggestions, I plan on keeping this thing around for many years to come and finnish it off just the way he wanted it W/ a custom winch bumpers front and rear, and MPI. I am just not a huge fan of big body lifts as I think they are dangerous.

Removing a body lift?

I think the only thing to adjust would be the trans linkage. other then that, sounds like you got it figured out.
As said above, the trans linkage should be the only thing to need adjusting. Maybe lower the bumper back down if they lifted it with the body. I think it would be easiest to go front to back (or the other way if you prefer), rather then one side at a time. The fastest way would be to use a two post lift, to lift the body off the frame. But you probably don't have access to one of those.
Actually I do have access to a two post lift I was actually thinking about that the other day. So to adjust the linkages are the just a threaded rod or do I need to buy stock replacement ones?

it has a bolt on the linkage, loosen bolt, rod slides in further, tighten bolt.
