Since periodically driving my Tahoe, my better half has decided that she wants to get out of her Grand Cherokee and into a full-size SUV. Budget and mechanical knowledge/ability have pointed us towards a GMT800. I wanted a Yukon, but she likes the face of the Tahoe better. Fine with me- they tend to be cheaper and more plentiful. Besides, after I get my 22s, I'd like to put my LTZ wheels on hers and I won't have to cover the gold bowties with red GMC stickers. She's 5'2" on a good day so she doesn't need it to be lowered. That's what mine is for. I want to lift hers a few inches- whatever's proportionate to the tire size we get. She wants it dark- black is her first choice and that charcoal/graphite/dark gray is her second choice. Dark blue may be an option if everything else is on point.

So... She needs to see what I'm envisioning and Googling various keywords hasn't helped a whole lot. I'd like to see if there are members with trucks or pics of trucks built like how I'm describing and if they'd post 'em up for me to show her.

TL;DR: Looking for black, dark grey or dark blue Tahoes on NNBS LTZ 20s with a mild lift and proportionate tires. 2WD or 4WD doesn't matter for pic purposes.

Thank you for your time thus far!

Have you tried searching for leveled Tahoe?

Searching for "leveled" never crossed my mind. I searched for all other variants of lifted/lifting (cranked t-bars, coils, spacers, etc.)

My main point is just finding pics of a black or dark grey or dark blue GMT800 with GMT900 LTZ 20s. The mildly lifted (or leveled) factor would be a bonus, but not necessary at this point since I'm trying to show her a solid example of what she would/could be driving.

I'll add "leveled" to my search terms. Thanks.

Sorry it's not exactly what you're looking for but I have 3 of the 4 things you're looking for. Dark blue, mild lift (it's 3 inches) with 33 inch tires. Just don't have the exact wheels you're looking for. Hope this helps

That does help because we found a blue one that looks flawless. That looks more than 3", but I know all these Tahoes can vary due to age and wear of the springs and torsion bars. Thanks for the pic.

Perfect height for a DD. This is my wife's DD and she is 5' 3". Wasn't super excited when the running boards came off, but she manages.

This is pretty much it, minus the wheels. Although, I'm not opposed to selling my LTZ 20s and getting some 18s. The cost of 32"-33" all-terrains for 20" wheels may necessitate this. How much lift? Thanks for the pics.

Another strong example of what I'm going for. Between her and the 8-year-old that's the size of a 5-year-old, the running boards are staying. I've been researching small lift methods and keys and coil space seems to be all I'll need. Thanks for the pics.

I installed 2.5'' keys in the front and 1'' spacers in the rear, TB's are not fully cranked ...I still need to install the 5100's on all 4 corners and z71 springs in the rear once it gets warmer

Tires are Mikey Thompson Baja MTZ's
