on what yr of truck/model??=no response.
on my 91 b2600 only thing i did was cut the fan shroud. took the mounting clips off the speedo cable and made new bumper brackets.then got a shock extender from mr gasket 3 inch and rethreaded the shifter manual tranny.

the heater hose's.
i just un clipped them from the plastic holder clamps.
the wire's will extend enough.
the fuel tank fill pipes will need to be extended.
for that i just added pvc hose connecters1 1/2 and 1/2 inch diameter.adds close to the 3 inch lift.

also my pics the truck has the 3 inch lift in the body and close to 3 inch in the suspension.
on 31's with the plow.
done with homemade balljoint spacers/shock brackets andtorsion bars tightened up and 2 rear leafsadded each side.
