1999 Chevy/GMC 1-ton Pickup 4WD6"-7.5" Bracket Style Lift SystemRide height is increased by lowering both upper and lower control arms. A slight amount of factory torsion bar adjustment is available, hence the 6.5” to 7.5” lift height range. Both lower control arms, plus the front legs of the upper control arms, are anchored by crossmembers that span from frame rail-to-rail. The front differential assembly is also lowered to keep CV axle angles in check. Superlift’s bracket lift method does not require front differential housing trimming, as is the case with most replacement knuckle systems.

More Information6.5½ to 7.5½ 4WD Bracket Style Lift System If you’re looking for maximum height, the Bracket style lift is for you. We are able to coax a little more lift by lowering both upper and lower control arms; with a Knuckle style lift the upper control arms remain in their stock location. A slight amount of factory torsion bar adjustment is available, hence the 6.5½ to 7.5½ lift height range. Also, Superlift’s Bracket lift method does not require front differential housing trimming, as is the case with most replacement knuckle systems. The system includes a new set of six shocks with a trick tubular dual shock system for the front, with three different available performance shock options. If purchased in Master Pack form (K-Number), the pickup truck systems include 5½ rear blocks. Pickup owners that plan to run the maximum front height of 7.5½ may desire additional rear lift, via add-a-leafs, or replacement rear lift springs plus a short block kit. The Avalanche and SUV systems include replacement 5½ rear coils, so front lift must be kept minimal (6.5½) to prevent an excessive “front-high” attitude. NOTE: Generally, to achieve and / or maintain lift height over 6.5”, heavier rated GM torsion bars are required. We suggest GM part #157124117 (driver side bar); GM part #15712412 (passenger side bar). GM bar letter code is “WZ”. Main Features
