Had my 02 tahoe for bout 6 months now and been waiting on lifting but finally got around to it. I used lift keys from supreme suspensions. Ordered off Amazon. Also have rear spacers but haven't installed them yet cause I'm impatient and ran out of time last night. Used shock extenders that came with kit as well. I'm running 35/12.50r17 Toyo Open Country M/Ts low tread on yukon 17s. Ran 1/4 inch spacers out back and removed the fender liners as well. Also removed the factory running boards for a cleaner look.

It's a little bouncy but not as bad as my old 92 with cranked keys and 33s/36s.

Looks a lot better! But what do your angles look like? I'm assuming your cranked to the max to fit those tires.

You should have put rear spaces in first then match your front height to the back height.

Looks like you got the stuffed look covered. Always good wheel choice! Like others said on here get the rear spacer so its not this half lifted Carolina squat crap rolling around. See teens doing it all over the place with wheel lights!

looks good! will be even better with the spacers


Keys are cranked a good bit and my angles really aren't the greatest. Tires don't rub on fender or valance. Just on the lcas and on a bracket at the ucas. I'm prolly going to end up doing z71 springs when I have the money.

Well got tired of the 35s and the bouncy ride so I dropped down to 285s on 17x8 d windows. Picked up a set of Gladiator m/t tires for 535 out the door.

Already dropped the bars back down and I'm loving the ride again. Alignment is next.

Looks great, other than I am not a fan of more than just a little rear squat. I do like smaller wheels with more tire, and it definitely works better off road.

I bet your visibility is great when backing up. :D

Nice wheels over last steels but still get that ass up in the air. Needs springs and spacers bad!

Thanks agreed I like a little lean. And it is great haha.

Working on it still trying to take care of other things first. Things keeps popping up. Fuel gauge went crazy yesterday and then back to normal by the afternoon. And normal today. Just trying to make sure I can afford it if something does go out.

That's the normal fuel pump gauge going out. I drove mine for a long while without a gauge until pump died then replaced it and all works again

Funny thing is its back to working fine now. More accurate than it ever was before.

What's your fender measure from the ground. I have keys and spacers but I'm a inch lower in front than rear and I can't crank them anymore.
