I've decided I'm switching teams.
No not that kinda switching teams
I'm ready to level my 05 Tahoe (SEE PIC)

https://drive.google.com/open?id=1MhYXowhR28KAa7JgcAeMejrExaFwShfRqg

I've been riding this way for 2 years and It was fun until ball joints started wearing out and I have gotten bored + Pulling a trailer sucks with no rear suspension travel...

I'm just going to put it back were it was and add some 275/60r20's to the mix and some painted Z71 flares.

Does anyone have pics of these size tires???

PS (LOWER PARTS FOR SALE CHEAP)

275/60/20's will fit even when you just go back to stock height, but a 2" leveling kit will look perfect.

Really, to just level it, all you have to do is turn the stock keys (if you have them, and are putting them back in). If you have to buy all new, get the leveling keys, Z71 springs and a rear spacer. I had my fender heights at just about 39 3/4" front, 40 1/4" rear, on 285/75/16's. I used Ford leveling keys (barely cranked at all, 2" + lift) and 2" spacers on the Z71's. Rode firm, but not harsh, like a work truck should.

Until some **** blew through a red light and totaled my 'Burb.

I think I was just to low on DJM arms only. The front knuckles probably would have got me the stance I was after but like I said I'm ready to raise it back up now.

Looks perfect but I'm not a fan of spacers have you had any issues with them?

Nope, no issues whatsoever in the 15,000 miles they've been on so far.
