This looks so nice!!! I have a 09 Tahoe LT 2wd. I want to lift it and give it the "look" without going crazy. I have a few questions and I apologize if you have said this already. This is a long thread..lol! What is the lift size and the tire and wheel combo? Also do you have a measurement of the roof height? I have a parking garage at work that will limit how high I can go on my truck. Again, great looking truck!

It's a Fabtech 6" kit with 35 on 17x9. Not sure of roof height but guessing 7'6" with that rack.

Hi. Thanks for the compliments. ~80" rack adds another ~6". I needed a heavy duty rack for gear. Here's a picture of the wheel/tire. If need any other info let me know. Also thanks to Konvict for assist.

NICE!!!! So looks like I can still go with a 5 inch lift and 33's w/no problem. Thanks for the info!

Guys who have trimmed (not removed) the air dam - how did you do it? Reciprocating saw and sand down the edges? I want to chop off about 2-2.5" off the bottom of mine while to gain me a bit of clearance while keeping a stock look.

To trim the air dam leave it in place. Trace with a sharpie marker on the back side where it still covers the bumper tabs. Remove from truck cut with a dremel plastic cut off wheel. Block sand it to smooth and uneven lines. Put on vehicle and check lines covering bumper tabs.

01Konvict, thanks! I'll tackle that project soon.

This one's not mine, but I was searching the internet for leveled NNBS pics, found this blacked out Yukon, and just had to share it. Yukon XL on 285/70r17 and 2.5" front only.

@battlewagon did you ever get those pro comp drop brackets on the rear and did it fix the issue? Post some pics!

Yes great timing on your part actually, the day you posted, was the day I dropped it off for round two at the suspension shop.

I already had the wheel spacers on. Helped, but barely, and may have just been a placebo effect.

Just picked the truck up, and it is good to go. My boys there installed the drop brackets, as well as replaced the sway bar end links with new bushings. They did it incrementally; the sway bar end links helped, and they pulled it back in and put the brackets on. 100% fix. Now I can drive at 75 on the highway without fear of losing my life.

Thanks for the info, help, and support during my journey 01Konvict!

My brother has a very rare Red PPV for sale in Raleigh, please spread the word Konvict; VERY nice truck, leather, etc http://raleigh.craigslist.org/cto/5874319078.html . If I didn't have the Suburban, I would buy it off him. Imagine that thing with some black 24s <3

Glad to help dude. Even better we got it all worked out for you!!! I want to see pics of the added spacers and drop brackets! Show me that beast burb!

Yeah I saw it the other day listed here and funny it's only 5 miles from me. He actually lives very close to my sisters house. Surprised I haven't seen it around town before.

2009 Tahoe LTZ w/ 2" Rough Country leveling kit on the front.

Rough Country 3.5" lift on 33x12.50r20 Falken Wildpeak MT tires. It is an LTZ so had to account for autoride, but got it to work with brackets. Can include pictures of how that was achieved if anyone wants them.

Teaser shot of a photo shoot this weekend, will post more soon.

For those who havent seen on the last few pages, 7.5" RC with 35s

Here's how the front looks

Here's the back.

Just used simple L brackets from my local haEdward store, paid Ike 34 cents per bracket. For my 3.5" lift, the math came out to an inch in between each hole in the L bracket to return the ride height back to normal and get the autoride to work. The pump still runs and I can see the vehicle rise from the autoride, but I do have a dash warning to service suspension, though it does still work. I don't mind the dash warning, but if you do, there are companies that sell resistors to get rid of it.

Think the warning light is from the front end. Those look a little long so the sensor is way up. Make sure all plug connections are tight. Center up ride height sensor arms so there level or slightly up. That should clear up dash lights.

How are the tires? They looks like they'd be loud as crap.

I thought the same thing, and having ridden in vehicles with Nitto Trail Grapplers and Toyo MT's mounted on them, I can say I was pleasantly surprised at how quiet the Falken's are. I can notice the difference being as I went from a normal street tire to there, but they're honestly not loud at all. Sound more like an all-terrain if I'm honest.
