Lifted...Kinda

[Devious_Tahoe96]

So I FINALLY got around to putting the 2" superlift rear blocks ($69.95 through summit racing for those who are interested). I can tell you that it looks awesome. It was a pain in the ass to figure out how to put the blocks on with 3 inexperienced people, (myself included) and the directions weren't very thourough. But after 2 hours of lifting and torquing to spec's it all came together. Before the Hoe's rear end was sagging, probably due to the fact the springs are 15 yrs old. But now it looks just right, I may have to crank the front another 1/2" - 1" just so it looks level. Excuse the last pic, i haven't wash the truck in about a month and im gunna take it out this saturday so no use in cleaning it lol

Its not too bad though It looks good man and will look even better with the front lifted another 1"!

 

[Devious_Tahoe96]

Haha didn't know that expression. Im gunna crank up the front one more inch and it should look decent. You think it'll look too high if I replace the springs??

... Im gunna crank up the front one more inch and it should look decent. ...

Nooooooooooo!!!

It looks great just like that!
In fact, I'm so impressed that I'm gonna get 2" blocks for mine!


That's a very nice looking truck now! Don't muck it up by lifting the front!

 

[Devious_Tahoe96]

Thanks man!!

 

[bowtiefreak]

yes, new springs will sit it even higher.

looks good!

 

[96ProCompTahoe]

looks like mine with 2 inch block haha. got lot more rake then i had imagined but look has gorwn on me and i like it now. and when its loaded up it sits level now

 

[raptorforme93]

You guys like how it looks when the front end sits lower than the rear? I dont think it looks bad at all if the front end is a little lower but I definitely like my truck to be level if not just a 1/2" higher in the front. Personal preferences though!!

But its no question, his truck looks good

 

[07Burb]

IMO as long as it's close to level I'm happy. His isn't too much rake but enough to know it's there will look great once the front is cranked

Looks good! pretty mean looking to me.

 

[foreverfalcon40]

LOOKS GOOD! Love the flow! keep it up!

 

[raptorforme93]

I agree with 07burb

I don't think I have ever seen that color scheme on a hoe though.. I really like it

 

[the big blue bus]

id rather have back up than front riding high. thats just me. what do u do if ur fronts allready higher and have a lot off stuff in the back gonna look real funny haha

 

[Devious_Tahoe96]

Thanks for the love guys, went 4wheeling the other night and flex'd the hoe, unfortunatly....i bent the muffler hanger and it was sagging pretty low...so i had to call it quits early. Its funny how i was able to go through this twister will not much problem, but my friend who owns a 2010 H3T broke 2 cv axles doing the same thing i did!!

My truck has gone a LONG ways from where its at right now...alot of $$ and time spent on it. But I love the transformation
