Wild horse lift kit ???

GMSALTY · Jun 21, 2012

Anyone used the basic 3.5 lift ...and is it a nice kit .... mostly for looks , not offroad hardly at all . Just going to put 33's under a 71 .

If your going mostly for looks, I would go with 2 1/2" w/33's. And yes WH sells good stuff.

Yup, with a 2.5" lift you won't need to deal with a trac bar adjustment!! WH has never let me down.

Recently picked up the WH 3.5 kit w springs, coils, shocks etc. gonna remove the existing lift installed from the PO, which has unknown front springs, unknown shocks and blocks for the lift in the rear. I will let ya know how it works out, but WH service has been great.

I have a new wild horse 3.5 and it s good rides well handles good
But a I agree 2.5 with 33s. My 35 s almost look a little small with the 3.5 sl and a 1 inch bl

i agree i installed the 3.5" lift a while back and it was very nice. i did upgrade two things per their recommendation. I went with the softer front springs, and i would suggest a set of the rear shims. it would be easier to install the shims when you have everything torn out, i did it after i nstalled it and realized i need to correct the pinion angle.

thanks all ...... i think i will go with the 2.5 then , sounds like it will work better.

I just installed the WH 2-1/2" kit w/33" tires...easy install and great lift/ride.

Also, one of the leafs got lost by UPS and they shipped another one out the same day to me free of charge as soon as I alerted them....so great service from Wild Horses as well!!!

WH = smooth ride. Good shocks really complete the setup though, Bilstien 5100 for street and off road and 7100 for more offroad.

Agree...I replaced all of my shocks with Bilstien 5100's during the lift.
