3.4 lift?

SignorSchnitzel · 08-17-2009, 11:01 AM

hey everyone, i have a 92 pickup with the 5vzfe swap in it, and ive been looking to buy rear shocks, but under all the descriptions for the products , it lists the "fit note" and it will say for example "rear 0" to 2" lift/drop " . so my problem is, i know that you have to lift the truck to put the 3.4 in it, but how much? and if anyone knows what the stock height of this truck is, so i could just measure, or any other knowledge on this, would be greatly appreciated. thanks

Look into the swaps more. Having a suspension lift will NOT help with the motor clearance.

The problem is the 3.4L is a bit taller than the 3.0L so the intake pleum and some lines hit the hood. SO you will either need to put a BODY lift on the truck, make a hood scoop, cut a hole in the hood, or hope it clears with nothing.
