New guy with a 3.5 RC question

[05zhoe]

Hey yall, i just joined this forum, i've been over at Z71TS forum for a couple years now, i have a 2005 z71 tahoe with keys and spacers with a few other things. Anyways, i'm in the market for finding a low milage NNBS z71 Tahoe. I plan on doing the 3.5 rough country kit, they redesigned it to have flat upper balljoint angles with arched UCA, i talked to the sales dude at Rough Country and he seemed to know his stuff fairly well. Here are my few questions.

Those of yall with that kit, how is it holding up, and how does it ride? Are your lower ball joints and tie-rods holding up okay?

And i would like to keep my stock rims and use the .25 inch wheel spacers they recommend and do a 295/70//17, i saw most of yall run a 285/65, how do yall think a 295 would do on a stock rim with this setup?

Also, which year NNBS z71s have 3.73s or 4.10s?

 

[05zhoe]

Anyone?

I believe they all have 3.73 or 4.10s definitley not lower... Don't believe it changed from the years but I could be wrong hopefully someone gets in here soon

Really? that's awesome. My 05 has 3.42s and i absolutely hate them

My 12 Z71 has 3.42's. Thats the lowest you can get to my knowledge. I wanted 3.73 but there was no option for it. I am happy with my 3.42's. We'll see once I get bigger tires on though.

I plan on 285/65/18's on stock rims .

Not many people are running the RC 3.5. Hopefully those few will chime in.

I have an 07 Z71 with 4.10s. Mods in my sig.
