Yea like 992door said im running about 9". i actually have 6" + 2" but with about an inch cranked on keys it sits at 9. 38.5's are a bit much imo, but have been done pretty frequently, I prefer somewhere closer to a 37 which I will be running come spring.

yeah...i have a 3" body...i can't stand seeing the frame. if i had my way, i'd take it off and put a 4"-6" suspension. i initially got it cuz it was cheap and i wanted to fit bigger tires. i bought mine with 245s and it just looked WEAK....so back then, i wanted some 285s so i got my goodyear MTRs and the lift for way under $900. i bought the MTRs when they just came out. i still can't believe i spent $150 a tire for them.

Oh dont get me wrong i think they can look good, all sizes of body lifts have always gotten bad press imo, but when done correctly they can look just fine. The only reason i went with the 2" was just cause i already had a moderate susp. lift from before. Any type of steps or bars really help hide the frame and return it to a near stock look but with the additional height.

true...that's why i've looked into getting some sort of step bar to hide it a little. i didn't move the rear bumper up, instead i bought some rubber molding and put it between the body and bumper and it came out looking really good. i'll take some pics tomorrow.

Lets not get into the whole lift a 4x4 lower a 2wd. If that was the rule the forum name would have to change to liftedtahoesandyukon.com.

Anyway, 37" tires are the way to go, stuffed is a look that some like but the function goes away. How are you planning on getting the 9"? All suspension or a 6 + 3? The DC kit I run is a true 6.5" drop, that with a crankand many guys are close to 8.5" or so with no body lift. There are also some really big all suspension kits out there.

I have 6 inch fabtech 3 inch body on 37s that are worn down. I was looking at some 38x15.50x15 mudgrapplers to put on mine.

i want to do a all suspension lift , as you all would agree " i hope " the body lift on chevys dont look that great because they already show way too much frame and i dont like the look of the bug gaps between the body and the frame
