Considering lifting and eliminating Autoride

[STUPIDDR]

I'm considering lifting my 2007 LTZ Suburban with Autoride(unfortunately).

I would like someone who is familiar with lifting these to confirm my research is correct.

I've already disabled the Autoride because the compressor runs for several minutes every time I turn it on but have a very squish rear suspension now.

I'm considering the following:

I was considering some Fender Flares like these:

But they indicate they dont fit LTZ models? Any idea why that may be?

Is this going to fit correctly?
Will it have a decent ride on/off road?
Any idea how much trimming will be needed?

Not a bad list of parts. It will ride good and be decent for off-road with that lift. Definitely run 5100 shocks with the kit. The coils will make the rear feel a lot better. I would do 20s or bigger. There will be no rubbing with that offset. Flares don't fit your model cause rear bumper is cut different at body quarter panel line. If me I would go a little more negative on offset like -12 and no flares.

That makes sense with the flares, thanks.

I'm curious on the negative offset.
Is this purely for a more aggressive stance to have the wheels stick out a little more from the body?
Seems like there might be some rubbing/trimming needed with about a inch difference from a +18mm offset

Yeah its just a look thing with lifts. Personally I like the big and wide look over tall and skinny. Not saying the +18 would look bad but think the 0 would give a little width to go with the height. Yes the wider does cause more trimming but its not much just a bumper brace with L bracket and your good.

After looking at pictures I think I'm going to go with the -12mm offset you initially suggested I like that look. I'll update with pics.

Hey Stupiddr Wondering if you have any updated pics to share?
