Well I got my lift (if you wanna call it that) put on yesterday. It is raining and the truck is nasty but I had to get a few quick cell phone pics last night and this morning...so far I love it...ride is a little stiffer, but I wanted it stiffer since Tahoe's ride so soft from the factory...it definitely needs bigger tires, but that will be once I find a good deal on some used ones. Let me know what you think guys. BTW I had no issues cranking the front to get it to sit level and my alignment guy (only person that works on my truck) said there were no steering issues or anything close to binding from cranking...said it surprised him but that it was good to go.

Here are the pictures:

Looks like the lift worked out well for you. Did you get more than 2" out of it?

It definitely feels like I got more lift out of it than 2", but maybe I am mistaken...I can't wait to get some bigger, more aggressive meats on it!

you did a susension lift or just spacer in the front springs?

looks good by the way.

I don't like it simply because I agree it needs bigger tires. I think once it gets tires it'll look alot better.

He put new keys in the front torsion bars and installed 2 inch spacers in the rear if I am reading it right.

Here are a few pics I took really fast yesterday between the rain we have been getting. Should be a little easier to see fender gap and overall height.

This is correct

I agree it needs bigger tires...trying to figure out which way I want to go with it...either 20's and mud tires...or keep my stock rims and just get some 285/70R17s for it.
