I have'nt seen any. Even ORU does not have a kit for '99 up - just the '88 to '98's. It's a do it yourself thing.

is it a 2500HD or a 1500HD? ORU has a kit for the 2500HD's but don't think it will work on the 1/2 tons. you can only use a 60 with those kits.

Thanks for the link. I think I'll check into their kit for my '02 Z71 instead of an IFS lift.

Fabritech also makes a kit for 88-98 Chevy/GMC 1/2 tons. I is not on their website but it is available. Call and talk to Eric and he can explain it all. It sounds pretty good, I think that's what I am going to buy for my '96 GMC.

I vote for do it yourself too!

Fabritech is making 2 differents lift heights and the SAS for the ZR2 (so they say). it uses a D30 though

I'm getting rid of my IFS and going with a D44/9" combo. gonna make my own lift height (whatever we decide, it has to fit in the garage still)

good luck either way.

Some time last year, Four Wheeler Magazine discovered that the ORU kit will work on the '99 and up GM pickups. They used that kit to do an SAS on a new body style Suburban.
