We bought a 2001 GMC Jimmy Diamond Edition for the wife a few months ago. she decided she wanted to lift it 6 inches. After digging through the interwebs we found a Touch Country 6in suspension lift kit. We made the purchase then put it on her Jimmy. This video shows most stops we took installing the kit. It ended up taking roughly 28 hours total. We ended up changing the front ball bearings and that took about 3-5 hours due to them being originals and being riveted in. All-in-all it was a fun learning experience and now she has her lifted vehicle that she loves!

Nice diamond edition 🙂 I put the same kit on my GMC Sonoma last year it took me about 16 total hours by myself!

@thekcubedstory940 3 года назад

Thanks! It took us more time due to not rushing and just taking our time.

@waltersteffensthezr2man431 3 года назад

Actually what took the most time for me was getting the correct cut on the diff the cooling fins had to keep taking it back out and putting it back in till I got it right LOL

Awww, what a little cutie in the back lol.

@baneblade48 3 года назад

Awesome. Thanks for making the vid. I'm very tempted to do this on my 2001 Jimmy. It doesn't look half bad with those tires.

Where's the Jimmy clubs?

@blakebrass125 2 года назад

That looked like a shit ton of work lol. I like the end result. A little too high for my taste but it did look pretty nice in the end

@thekcubedstory940 2 года назад

It was a lot of work. But it wasn't too bad to be honest. The wife liked the look as well.

@jeffklymman8609 4 года назад

Awesome job kyle! That car looks way better with those tires

@thekcubedstory940 4 года назад

It does! My friend did most of the work while I did the learning and replicate what he was doing on one side I did to the other.

@scotquigley513 2 года назад

Great build, looks awesome! I really want to relocate my rear end under my leaf springs. What was the kit you used?

@soullesscat365 3 года назад

I personally own a 2000 diamond edition with no rust on it and 98k miles and i want pit new suspensions parts on to make it ride smoother but all i can find is people lifting them.

@BENDOVER-xr8pc 3 года назад

can this kit work with a blazer as well?

@thekcubedstory940 3 года назад

Check their webpage. I think they have something for the blazer. But it might be the same exact setup.

@sam20_02 2 года назад

yes

@billgoldenmusic 3 года назад

Nice, how are your doors so nice? My hinges are so messed up and I've already replaced them once. Bad design from factory.

@thekcubedstory940 3 года назад

We only ever had issues with the passenger side. But even then it wasn't bad at all.

@scotquigley513 2 года назад

I'm about to do mine for the third time, since I've owned the truck.

@OTLWReefer 3 года назад

got a few jimmys i would get some 31s for it lot better off road

@xGSxPhatal 2 года назад

What bull bar do you have on there?

@MoodyDudey 3 года назад

Y’all reused the factory control arms? You’re supposed to use after market ones from Rough Country because the older ones sit too low. There will be too much tension on the ball joints. How did it work out?

@thekcubedstory940 3 года назад

We did reuse them. However the kit comes with brackets that lower the mounting points for the factory control arms. It worked out great to be honest.

@raulmarin8704 2 года назад

How many miles in that

@sanchezgeorge29 2 года назад

How has the truck held up any issues with the gearing running the 33s daily?

@thekcubedstory940 2 года назад

We ended up selling it last December so not sure since then. But until we sold it, it held up well.

@BigNerdLandon 3 года назад

Is the vehicle right hand drive or is the camera mirrored?

@thekcubedstory940 3 года назад

It is the normal American Left had drive vehicle.

@mattbaker3861 3 года назад

Did you have to put any brake line extensions in or anything like that? Driveshaft and axels still bolt up easily?

@thekcubedstory940 3 года назад

Had to put in break line extensions but they have with the kit. Everything else basically bolts back up.

@mattbaker3861 3 года назад

@@thekcubedstory940 thanks buddy looking to do this to mine this winter! Any tips or heads up I should know about?

@thekcubedstory940 3 года назад

To be honest I didn't do much of the work. My buddy did. I was more or less there for support and learning. I am not mechanically inclined but thought it was pretty straightforward. As long as you have some inclination of how to work on cars you should be good.
