If I get these 3” lift spindles can I use my stock control arms? Or do I have to get new ones? Also should I do these spindles or should I get the rough country 3.5” lift kit.?
I got some 24x11 wheels I’m trying to stuff under my 2014 2wd hoe.

Did the spindle give you enough clearance?

No these spindles pissed me off. Lol it made the rim offset stick out even further and wouldn’t clear. With the lift spindles and stock wheels it was like -50 offset. It’s weird.

Nice ride!

So did you have to drop the transfer case? Did you end up buying additional hardware for the 3" arm to fit? Are you running just the 3"control arm or have a lift kit/spacers?

Im planning on doing that as well on my Tahoe, and add a 2" leveling strut on the front. Save some money rather than buying the 3" lift kit. Im just trying to avoid cutting the transfer case and dropping, if there is a way.

Do you have any more pics? How much further does the front wheels/tires stick out than the rear? I've done the 3" lift spindles on a 2000, but not my 2007. What size are your tires btw?

These are 265/70/17.these tires look nice until u park next to some 305s/33x12.50... and then they look tiny skinny

I think I might try stuffing some 24” wheels stock offset with 33x12.50r24 tires. The 24x12 with 305/35/24 just were to damn wide with the lift spindles. So I think 24x10 stock offset the wheels should fit. Prly spring time

Put some 33x12.50r17 on the Tahoe today

Very intrested in the outcome of this. Im doing the 24 inch black snowflakes on 33x12.5/24 tires as well.

Looking at the rough country 7.5 lift kit

 

[massivespl]

7.5” lift on a 33” tires is gunna look super super small. In my opinion. Get 35s forsure

lol well it started its life as a PPV Tahoe which is like 2” lower from factory. I lifted the front 3” with spindles. So that’s basically stock height lol.

Do you have much rub...can you make U-turns?

No rub and can make u turns but I trimmed fender lining plastic. I do rub backing up turning though. Forward turning there is no rub.
