I'm cheap. When I put the lift on my runner, I got some of the perforated steel from Home Depot, cut it into 6" pieces which I stacked three together then cut it to look like this:

cost me about 5 bucks including gas to the depot and is adjustable.

You'd be amazed at the loss of breaking power with only 1" of lift. I would rig one up..

its in the same spot on all models.

Get or make a 4" bracket. More is better than less. You can always adjust it on the arm itself.

Say the lift gave 3.5" Would it make a difference if the bracket was 4" ?

My '90 was/is located in the same location. I'd go with the 4". I sized mine to my exact lift, and I don't think it was enough. I'd go over.

Not only stopping power, I noticed that the truck stopped pitching forward when stopping. Felt more driveable.

Jay, when did you put your LSPV bracket on?

Thanks..

I think I'm going to get a little piece of metal at B&C and drill holes in it.. or find a piece that has holes already drilled.

Gosh, that piece is so common and I would think that even my little hardware store where I live would at least have a piece of metal that would work for the ispv but they don't. The closest thing would be a door hinge that they have.
Ugh.. that's what happens when you live in a small town. lol.

I'm probably going to get one fabbed at a local metal fab shop. Or just have them give me some scrap pieces of metal.

simple, find something under the truck, take a zip tie or bungee cord and hang it up there
