Sure I don't see why not. The transfer case is different but you can still lift it.

 

I really want to lift the truck, I got the truck becuase it was such an awesome deal, + i got the 6.0 engine with out going to the 2500 series trucks. I really hope I can lift this thing, otherwise I really got the wrong truck!!

 

I dont see any reason why not. I'd imagine that lifting it would be no different than lifting a regular 4wd. This is how I would think of it, the all wheel drive isnt much different (if any) than an Autotrac equipped truck being stuck in the Auto4wd mode all the time. Someone tell me if my logic is off track here... :anitoof:

 

Hell yea i hope you can lift your SS that would be shibby!! :head: BTW heres a newb question for all of you. Whats the dif between 4 wheel and all wheel drive? :ninja:

 

All wheel drive is an advanced 4wd. It distributes the power usually at about 60% out back and 40% up front. It takes power away from the wheel slipping so you get great traction. Will one day be the norm on all offroad trucks but its just too damn expensive right now.

 

This would be the Shizzz nit to lift this thing, I am going to check with some vendors around the country today, because If i can put a 8inch lift on this truck, I might get wet spots in my pants!

 

Umm, lift your SS? Ok....

Can I have your rims?

 

Yes, you can buy them if I could lift this truck!

 

Cool. Be sure to post something when you're ready to sell.

I'm sure you can lift it...but why? Doesn't it defeat the purpose of having an SS?

 

I have wondered this myself and often dreamed about the concept of a lifted SS. I dont know why you couldn't lift it seems like a 4X4 lift kit would work and I think a lifted SS would be badass, but what about the gearing? Does a stock ss come with 3.73's or what?

 

Why not lift it? It has SS badges but everyone knows that it dont live up to its name in comparison to the Lightning or the SR/T-10. I dont see it as a fast street truck at all, so hell yea lift that bish. Lifted trucks just look better IMO.

Ahh that sounds bitchin!! Anyway an 8 inch lift on that light truck with a 6.0l would kick some major ass! And I know the SS would lose to the dodge and the ford on a straight away but i thought it had a lot bettle handleing which means it would prob win racing on a track rather than a straight quarter mile.

Cause it's an SS, not a Z71 or HD. Just seems like a waste of an SS to me.
It's not like you couldn't beef it up to be just as fast as a Lightning or SR-10 (well, maybe not the Dodge) either.

It's just my opinion, so please don't take this the wrong way, but if you were my friend, I would have to punch you in the face for even suggesting lifting your SS. :buttkick:

Are you seriously going to take your SS out and give it a good mud thrashing? Or are you just planning on making it slower for show?

 

i dont see why you couldn't lift an SS but if it was my truck i would slam that bitch :head:

 

im more with the lowering of trucks, but hey its your truck, if you wanna lift it cool!...its something very original that you dont see everyday. Hell its the only factory sport truck that would look good lifted, can you imagine a lightning, or an SRT-10 on 35's... :insane: i say lift it and run over the ford and the dodge

You know when I saw the title I thought what is this guy thiinking. Kinda like you. But than I thought about it, and since the "SS" doesn't mean shit on this truck, why shouldn't he lift it? If was an actual performance truck it'd be different.

I'd actualy look into swaping the transfercase and make it 4wd instead of AWD.

 

I would personally slam that SS. But lifted it would be :head:

Lift it if you wanna.

 

Im going to be pulling out my NP246 autotrac case this summer, if you want ill sell it to you so you can have a part time 4wd case.

 

The reason to get one and lift it is because you are getting a 6.0 out of a 1/2 ton truck. Now if you could get that out of a silvy then there wouldn't really be a need but you cant so go for it!

 

I thought an SS would look bad ass lifted :head: good luck

lets see a photo shop

 

halecj- whats so bad about lifting an SS?

makes way more sence than lifting a 2wd.

 

Im sorry but how many people with 4x4 actually use it very often. Yea I used mine some, but just because I put myself in the situation to use it. I drove in 2wd 90% of the time. And how many people actually lift there 4x4 to use it? Yea some do, and thats great but I would say a majority dont. So why have a front diff unless you use it? Being AWD it will allways pull with 4 tires, not like a true 4x4 would but all are moving. I think its BS to say lifting a 2wd is dumb or lifting a awd is stupid. Its all for the looks and that is the only reason. If we wanted to beat the shit outa our rigs we would all have old ass 3/4 ton chevys or K5's and tear them up, not new 30-40K rigs... :shake:

 

old ass 3/4 tons and K5's <----- :worship:

Im looking for a newer rig, z71 ex. cab and even though its guna set me back about 12k im still guna use 4x4, not quite like my k5 does though. :head:

speaking of k5's....i wonder how my k5 will perform against ricers with the 454 in it? :evil:

 

Personally, I love the idea of lifting an SS, since the SS is the only way to get a 6.0 V8 in a 1/2 ton from the factory. :bowtie:

 

Yea I agree that would kick some seriouse ass in the dirt. I think slamming it would be kind of pointless since it has that AWD that would be good for off road plus it does look a lot better lifted. It would be a shame to see the bottom get all scraped up from speed bumps and steep driveways :insane:
