I recently got a 99 sonoma ext cab v6 4.3l and i love this truck! Its been raised a little in the front but not the back?!?!? I like the stance on it, but the over sized tires rub in the back when i go over big bumps....

so my question is whats the easiest and cheapest way i can go about raising the back up? Ive seen 4x4 models in the local junk yard and silverados...can any of these trucks suspension parts be used on my truck to make the rear sit higher and what model years would work?

also my heater doesnt work, but i noticed on the firewall, engine bay side, that there are two metal pipes coming out that look like they onced had hoses connected to? or something? my thoughts were that is the pipes that carry the coolant to the heater core? i know i need those hoses but i have no clue what else is missing???

and lastly my service engine light is on...how do you pull the codes?

sorry for all the questions....lol

Get shackles to raise the back 2". Can also get an add-a-leaf. Neither costs that much. Can't help with codes.

the shackles will work even if its 2wd? i thought someone had told me that only works with the 4wd models?
