Sandy River Enterprise offers a 3" lift which includes new torsion keys and rear add a leafs or shackles and centerpins. Does anyone know if this lift is causing any problems.

 

Haven't heard of it. As you saw in the FAQs, you can crank the front end w/o having to buy torsion keys. And you don't need a lift to put on 35s.

What some others have done is put on new shackles on the rear - basically modified Jeep shackles. Probably cheaper and is known to work.

 

I bought the Sandy River 2" leveling kit over a year ago & installed it. Very good guys to deal with and it was pretty straight forward to install. You have to do a front end
alignment after installed. Ride is better than if you just did a torsion bar adjustment. I have 35" on my truck with no problems. As a matter of fact, theparts dept manager atmy hummer dealership asked me about my leveling kit and he ordered it and the dealership installed it for him too.

 

Do you have any side shots of your truck with the kit on? WHat did you use for shocks with it?

 

link please?

That's what I was thinking...but wanted to see what was included in their kit.

If you could order everything: shocks, keys, and shackles all in one shot, it would be worth it for some people.

I personally did the Tbar crank. I put back down from 24" to 23" with the cognito's out front. I'm looking for a better ride though. THe truck still seems to have too much "old cadillac" fell to it. At 23" I think I'd still be OK with the Rancho's front and rear. I may give that a shot.

 

I didn't notice that much of a difference between Stock height ride and Cranked ride. Still running OEM shocks also. Wife's 08 hadn't been cranked until this weekend and I just couldn't tell that much of a difference between the two. I am ordering the cognitos for mine though, just for longevity purposes.
