What all do i need if im gonna put a Suspension lift on my 1986 K5......im goona use the shackle flip from ORD and also gonna use the front suspension lift with new springs and everything....so besides that what all do i need

Cutting torch or Big air chisel to remove the rivets holding the stock shackle mounts on, floor jack, jack stands, various hand tools, cut-off tool for the front u-bolts ( you can spin the nuts off but a cutting wheel is a lot faster).

There are pics on my page of the flip kit installed, don't forget a 12 pack of suds.

I hope the kit comes with raised steering arm and you got some extended brake lines. Impact wrench can make life alot easier. I used grinder on rivets. I also got alot of use out of my sawz-all and hammer.

Combine the BFH and the 12 pack of suds and you will get it done in no time.

A 4" lift does require extended brake lines..at least mine didn't

Well it may not but new steel braided lines are nice to have. Ive always used 'em.
