johnshea Posted August 6, 2011 Report Share Posted August 6, 2011 I am looking for info on lifting an SS AWD . Most lift kit companies advise against lifting an AWD vehicle because of added vibration to the front end and transfer case. I am considering turning (big mod) the front meatball to help on the wear of the universal joints. Thanks! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jddmj Posted August 6, 2011 Report Share Posted August 6, 2011 Please don't lift you ss. That goes against the trucks whole meaning of life lol Sent from my A854 using Tapatalk Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

shawnss Posted August 6, 2011 Report Share Posted August 6, 2011 (edited) dont lift it. its a sports truck. but its your truck do what you want with it. i just dont see a point in lifting a truck so nice and something thats ment to be lower than most trucks. be ready to have stones thrown at you. by posting something like this on a SS forum. good luck in whatever path you take.

Guest jasonhensley22 Posted August 6, 2011 Report Share Posted August 6, 2011 You might as well get off this forum, use the search button and look at all the comments people said towards the last post about someone lifting an SS, it's blasphemy...

f1ss Posted August 6, 2011 Report Share Posted August 6, 2011 (edited) Raise It Up! Youll be killing any other truck in snow. Glad to see one person willing to do this. Now if you were 2wd that would be pointless. I remember passing counltess local and state plow trucks ranging from 1500 z71s, 2500-3500hds and state 10 wheelers off into the woods while I was still going the speed limit in a blizzard on my way to surgery (my friend drove home obviously). Edit - to each his own, and who cares what other people think, its your truck. If it makes you happy, thats what counts. And as far as someone telling you to leave the forum, thats just wrong. Sometimes opinions stinks like assholes. Do it up Edited August 6, 2011 by 03mass (see edit history) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
juriha Posted August 6, 2011 Report Share Posted August 6, 2011 Unless your planning to make it a bad ass long travel truck then I wouldn't. I'm all for going against the social norm and having something totally different then everyone else, its your truck, do as you see fit. AWD is the shit for sand and snow...I see your in CT so you might see some snow, but not much sand, if you were out west it'd be a sweet desert/dune ride...
