Let's see some pics of some lifted and leveled

Finally got rid of the POS autoride system! I will post fender measurements tomorrow.

Mine with 2" spacers in the front and 275/60r20, your looks bigger and so do your tires.

Here is mine. Lifted on 35s

Your's sits almost exactly like mine did before I installed the Bilstein 5100's and Moog springs. I had 2" front/1" rear leveling spacers. I have no idea why the tires look bigger though. They are a pretty aggressive tread pattern.

What's your fender heights at, and how much gain did you see from the shocks. I was afraid if I did both it would put the front end on to much of an angle and cause issues.

I haven't had time to make a full post yet but I did take some fender height measurements:

FR- 39"
FL- 39 1/4"
RR-40"
RL-40 1/2"

These are a little higher than I expected to be honest.

Looks like you got 2" from the level kit and then an additional .5-1" from the 5100s. Your front looks higher than mine, which has a 2" level with autoride. Did everything align back to spec?

Thats what im thinking too. I definitely got an extra inch out of the 5100's and an extra inch from the Moog springs in the back too. Everything aligned perfectly though. No extreme angles and it rides like stock. I might go with a 1/2" hubcentric spacer for the wheels or maybe deeper offset wheels. The extra lift kind of sucked them in more than I'd like.

That looks fantastic! Post fender heights and info on tricking computer from auto ride

Now that I actually took measurements, I'm kind of worried I might need to do UCAs or drop the 5100's back to the "stock height". Everything aligned to what looks like spec but my stock measurements were something like 36 1/2" front and 38" rear. I do feel like I'm cutting it close on the front suspension travel. I'm going to take some pics of the front angles to post and get your opinion.

Nice fender heights. Check the front drop stops and how close they are to arms. Could add lift arms to help gain clearance. Still post your tricks to fool computer so others can follow.

Mine was stock when I got it with 275/60r20 (not the stock 275/55) was 36 front 38 rear. Now I'm a hair over 37 3/4 in the front and an even 38 in the back. I want more but I'm afraid to go any higher due to angle. I will probably get a 1" spacer for the rear tho. Yours sits tall, those shocks gave you a nice boost.

Needs some bigger tires, stat!

What lift and tire setup?

Does someone have the installation instructions for this kit, the Rough Country 7.5" lift for 2007-2014 Chevy Suburban 4WD? Ive googled and they do not have on their website.

I am specifically trying to confirm that you do NOT need longer brake lines with installation, that the kit uses a bracket kit.

Nevermind, and confirmed, do not need longer lines.

Yeah don't need them. The brackets and bending of hard lines is all that's needed. When you going to post pictures of that burb?

Ironing out something with the truck, can't in good conscious post pics until truck is 100%, soon though!

Hurry up with it already. Mine is getting a custom rear driveshaft made because of the lift height and short wheelbase causing vibrations. Not sure if its all hoe/kon platform or just cause mines the AWD transfer case but either way multiple lift parts and custom rear shaft it will be resolved.
