2013 Suburban lift kit suggestions

[KevOLTZ]

Looking for suggestions for my 2013 suburban to lift it. I was going to do 5100s to level it but I don’t think my 295/70/18 will fit? I’m also looking for just an overall bigger look but don’t want to go over the top. Maybe 3.5 max? The problem is, is rough country still garbage with their struts and kits and whatnot?

I feel like you wouldn't even need 3.5" to fit that, but I'm sure others will know better. I know my 33s fit fine before I even did the 2" leveling spacer.

I have rough country leveling coilovers. Not a fan. I guess they are better that the blown up set that was in there.

I would rather go with bilstein 5100s with spacers over lifted Rough Country struts.

Here is my Tahoe, the details and build log are in my signature

Sorry for the late response but were they 33x12.5? Any running issues?

I fit 35s on stock wheels and x10 wides on a 3” leveling kit
I cleared 305s on 20x12s with a 3.5”
Here’s my thread with plenty of different lift wheels and tires configurations
Rough country shocks suck and personally I diddnt like the bilstein “lift struts” rode way to rough I’d opt for fox coil overs if the pocket allows it if not run stock shocks with a upper and lower spacer
Anything over 3” really needs control arms and differential drops

I never really did a build thread on my Tahoe so I’m going to try to show it along it’s stages the best I can and can remember I got this thing a couple years back I found it on Craigslist for 5,000$ it had high miles (255,000) when I first got it but I was told the previous owner drove it from...

The normal bilstein 5100s are probably ok I tried the adjustable lift struts they had and I took them right back off within a month
