3" lift 2000 tahoe

[Kushdog]

Hey everybody, I wanna lift my tahoe 3" I see there is kits for 1-3" front and a 2" block for the back. but I have found 2.5" and 3" rear blocks by there self. Is there something that won't work with 3" blocks in the back. I kinda want the back end to be higher than the front.

so there is kits for 3" in front and 2" in back, but no kits for 3" in front and 3" in back, but i found seperate parts to do 3" in back. What do you all think, I already have a 3" body lift and I am sure my front torsion bars are cranked up.

I'd wait for the lifters to come in and explain a little better, but I've always seen it as imperative that any lifts further than 3" be suspension lifts, both for safety and ease of parts. Mostly safety.

Ok I ordered a 3" front and a 2.5" rear lift kit, with shock extenders for the front and back, torsion keys, and blocks/spring spacers for the back.

Do i have to get longer swaybar links, it looks like they will work, but it is close

What year is your ride because we have coil springs in the rear and not leaf springs for blocks. I did add longer rear sway bars and they have helped.

z71 springs and 1.5" spacers in the rear will net you a 3" gain in height. throw some ford keys in the front and you're set

How big a tire can I run with that setup ?

no clue but i fit 33's pretty easy

with a 3" body lift, i run 35x12.50x17 mud terrains, once i have my 2-2.5 suspension lift I hope to clear 37x12.50x20"s.


How do you change the torsion bar keys on the front? is there a tool for it? My back is messed up so i haven't spent much time underneath it.

i just installed 3" spindles and z71 springs with 2" spacers and i fit some Cooper 285/75/16s and only had to trim a little.
