Hey guys, looking at lifting the body of my '69 @ 2". I'd rather do this than cut my firewall for clearance for the 396. Will also help with tire clearance.
Anyway, I don't see a kit listed anywhere for these old 'Burbans....anyone here have a body kit on theirs? What'd ya use? A truck kit? Did it have all the hardware for the Burb??? I plan on getting all new body mounts while I'm at it. ![]() I'm going to FINALLY get to work on mine, get the engine in and lift it 4" with 35's. ![]() Any help with this greatly appreciated! Thanks!

Off road design will make you a 1in body lift for your burb with aluminam pucks they may even do a 2in if you ask them . you can get them from summit racing get there verstion and you could get 2 truck kits for the price of one kit from a name brand kit.

Re: 4x4 guys.....Body lift kits for 'Burbans???
A 2" body lift still left me with clearance issues when I put a bbc in my 69 K20. But of course some people don't have to use any body lift to fit a bbc - seems you just never know until you try to slide the bbc into place.

Yukon....yeah, I slid the 396 into place and it hit's the firewall....I may have to dimple it an inch or two in order to pull the VC's, I wanted to avoid messing with the firewall and I do not want to move it all forward....
I'll look into a Blazer kit and if needed, make any additional parts.......or I'll just cut the firewall and replace the body mounts with new ones.....it needs 'em.....

I think the long wheel base truck one would be the best to use.
