hello all
im from NT Australia and own a sierra 92 soft top i got it about 5 months ago and ever since i got it ive been mud bogin heaps and have only managed to bog it once and its some pretty serious mud (black soil) on the floodplains
here is a pic of the beast after one of my trips. plans are to fit new suspension, body lift winch and maybe a diff locker for the rear

welcome aboard Sierra
nice looking sammy(or as they call it in aus "sierra")
you might find that body lifts are not a very popular thing on these vehicles. if you do the right suspension lift a body lift is not needed.
You have come to the right place for ideas ;D
So what size tires are you planning?

we dont usually need big flex over here (aus), but more so clearance for bigger tyres which will give more ground clearance. as you probably noticed, there's a lot of mud where we are.
if you ever come over here, have a look at the sierra's going around. a 2" Body lift seems to be a normal thing, and its like "if you dont have one, well, what the hell are you waiting for?"
3 of my mates have sierra's, and all have 2" BL in them. but they also have other mods as well, mainly to combat the rolling fairies.
one of my mates has a sierra, still in the build-up process, but list of mods include: SPOA, 2" BL, RUF with CE, 33" swampers, S3 reduction gears, lock-right rear, welded front, shock hoops up front, in-boarded rear shocks, 2" exhaust with extractors.
should be good when its finished.

i have 31s on there at the moment but i sereiously need new suspension because the 2 front tyres rub real bad and they are shreaded to pieces while the rear are almost new.
so while i wait for the $$$ to fit new suspension i think ill make a body lift
i was looking at this can anyone tell me what different things i need to do as this isnt a sierra. do i need more blocks or less and do i need to mount them differently.
