Whats up guys? haven't posed in a while, but i feel this is worthy. I just got my ebay keys and shock extenders installed and she's all leveled out as of now. Im sitting at 36.5" at the fender all around with my stock 255/70/16. I also have 1.5" rear spacers which i will eventually install at a later date. Im dropping her off tonight at my tire shop to get inspected and the works as well as my 17x9 Black Rhino Keyhole wheels installed and wrapped in 285/70/17 Cooper Discoverer AT/3's! Ill get pics of the wheels up tomorrow at some point...

1.5" are good if you want to put z71 springs on the back. They add about .5" lift and I have the 2" spacers installed on them. I sit 39.5-40" up front and 40.5" in back.

Main difference is the balance of the cranked keys front suspension feel to the soft rear. I found the z71 springs firmed up the back and made it feel more even ride with the front cranked. Also the z71 springs are the same springs as the denalis/escalades from the research I have found.
