Installed the 3.5 inch rough country lift kit on my girlfriends 2007 tahoe 4wd LT this weekend. Install went great, did it by myself in a garage. I did the front end on saturday and rear on sunday and got the tires and alignment done today. I picked up a set of 33x12.50 R17 Nitto Mud Grapplers from a buddy for cheap so i threw them on my stock 17s with the .25 inch spacer. about 30% left..just running these until she can afford a new set of trail graps or toyos with 18" fuel octanes. The kit was straight forward and i would reccomend it for anyone who wants a lift for a great price. clears the 33s just fine, no rubbing at all. rides like factory and handles great. :happy160:

Man that looks really great man. Nicely done. Do you know what your fender height measurement is? I sit at around 39" all the way around with a 2.5/1.5 leveling kit and 33's so I want to know how much more I'd have with the 3.5 RCX.

Very Nice!

Also, what method did you use to tint the corners. Is that on the outside, or did you take them apart. That is my next mod

Thanks! i love the way it turned out....I will get fender measurements as soon as possible. the tahoe is actually my girlfriends but she should be coming over today so i'll get them then...i'll also get some pics of cv angles. and yes it does come with a font differential drop.

My buddy did the tail light tint and front corners at his body shop. the tint is on the outside. he used night shade and wet sanded them and cleared them like 3 times i believe. they turned out great and professional. heres a few more pictures i have on my computer..

Front fenders sit at 39.5"
Rear fenders sit at 41"
The tires are pretty worn, so when we eventually get new ones it will sit a little higher. Probably 41 up front. These 33s werent much bigger than the old 265/70 r17s.

CUVs look good. Outer boots look a little worn - check those.

Thanks for posting and the rig looks good.
