Lift and Tire size

[thehulk]

I need all new ball joints and upper control arm bushings on both side of my car. So instead of replacing them, I was thinking about a rough country 2-3 inch lift kit and replacing the bottom ball joints. I don't want to have to buy new tire since i just bought a set of 32 inch Mickey Thomson tires. I have the front torqued a little with a 1.5 inch block in the rear. so do you guys think that my truck will still look ok with the same tires i have.

That kits gets really poor reviews. Do some homework before you make the choice. http://www.tahoeyukonforum.com/threads/stay-away-from-the-2-3-rough-country-suspension-lift.27612/

That thread is 4 years old though. Don't you think they have made some improvements since then?

try asking rough country.

Why not just get a 4" kit? My opinion is that you will be unhappy with the end result. Engineering flaws aside, the amount of lift will disappoint I bet. Or body lift and do not mess with the suspension at all.

I'm getting the RC 3inch suspension lift tomorrow on my 2 door.
The shop I'm going with is pretty reputable and told me the 3 inch is good to go. Previous posts were probably the old version.
In terms of the height, go with your preference and budget.
That's what I did.
I'll post pictures and share my install later this week.

please do.

Pictures would be great. I Would want the 4 inch lift but just bought new tires and do not want to buy more. The price of the 4 inch plus tires is just too much for me

People always forget, you need to pay to play.

In regards to the RC 3", how much does it actually drop the differential? When did the redesign happen?

Choice05, please get pictures of the CV angles and the brackets under the truck so we can take a good look at it. Thanks
