2002 tahoe lift

[pred03]

Looking for a little help in the right direction...I've got an 02 tahoe that came with those crazy expensive nivomat shocks...As it would turn out wife got a new job, and we are in the process of buying a new car because she has to drive 100 miles a day and that just wasn't working for the checking account putting gas on the tahoe.... soooo like I said we decided to buy a new car and sell my 07 silverado and keep the tahoe being it is absolutely mint with less than 100k miles on it. So being my pickup is gone, I've decided to have a little fun with this. Being I have the nivomat shocks on it, and they are shot, what do I have to do go put a little bit of a lift on it? Keys in the front and spacers in the rear with z71 shocks and springs? Also what size of tire can I expect to run with little to no rubbing? It has 18 inch xd badlands on it.

99-02 silvrado front 3" lift spindles and Z-71 rear coil springs with a 1.5" spacer!

Would keys in the front work? And with the spacers do I have to get different longer shocks?

Tuff country sx8000 shocks...standard in the front..(same part number for stock to 2 inches of lift) and sx8000 in the rear also ment for 2 inches of lift...supplement that with z71 springs and I'm good to go?

No shock extenders by the way

It seems the shocks are good for a 2 inch lif but with spacers and z71 springs I'm going to get closer to 3 inches... Correct?
