How’s it going everyone?
I need some advice from everyone but first a little background.
I received my fathers 2008 Tahoe LTZ a couple months ago. It’s in great shape. A couple very minor rust spots on the truck that I plan on getting fixed come spring time. The truck does have high mileage. 192,000+. My father took car of this truck. My car shit the bed not long ago and I was in need of a vehicle and he was looking to buy his retirement gift. A brand new 2020 Tahoe.
The dealership wasn’t gonna give him much for the truck. Even tho it runs great. Still drives like it’s new.
Well if anyone lives in Upstate NY you know we just had a decent snow storm this past week. At my home I got 28.5 inches of snow. Once again, they didn’t plow my street until the last snowflake fell to the ground and by that time is was too late I had already missed a days work.
None of this I’ll happen til tax time but I’m looking to do a lift kit for this Tahoe. So in the future if we get this kind of snow fall I can just get in and go and not worry about getting stuck.
Can anyone suggest the best lift kit for this 2008 Tahoe and it will still get the same ride quality that it currently has?
I have a few other things I plan on doing over the next year as well I just want to get thru this winter with how it is and then come spring start building this thing.
Some of the mods I’m looking to do are below:
New headlights
New taillights
Wheels and tires (after the lift)
New step bars
LED light bar for either the grill or above the windshield
And a whole new speaker setup. (The factory speakers have seen better days)
Aside from the list above... is there anything else that I should consider?
