Offroad Trailblazers and Envoys

3" body lift, steering linkage boot...

BDS, ReadyLift, Smaxx... You name it, we know about it here.

I've been using the Zone directions for the body lift but it doesn't give any indication that the steering boot will extend far enough to cover the linkage. Mine doesn't. Have any of you guys got the steering boot to cover the extension or do you just leave it?

Zone makes a 2" body lift?.. Marks (now highvoltage) 3" comes with a plastic spacer if I remember right

Put a little super glue on the white plastic boot connector and stretch the boot over the connector.
Hold it together for a while till the glue hardens, then put a hose clamp on it..

The "?" was more for wondering why the OP is talking about the 3" body lift and Zone's instructions, since Zone only makes a 2"

I'm guessing he has a HighVoltage (or home made) kit with no instructions.

Yeah i pieced together one back before high voltage was selling marks lift again. Just ran across marks directions last night. He emailed me and told me you can use superglue. Guess i could make a longer spacer like mark. Didn't think about it until I saw the instructions.
Thanks guys.
