Lifts and clearing tires

[07z71hoe8]

I currently am running a 3.5 inch rough country on my 2007 z71 tahoe. Does anyone know how to cheaply get and extra 2 inches to make clearing 35's easier?

this guy isn't running 35's but he is running something close to it. I don't know if you're running a body lift either but this is what it'll look like essentially. Do you have a leveling kit on top of your lift or no?

No i dont have one. is It possible to do like just throw some coil spring spacers under the front or something like that?

I rock a bl and not mess with your angles any more. Idk what they look like on rc 3.5 but I wouldn't imagine its great

Be prepared to do some trimming, I went with a Fabtech 6" and 35 and needed to trim the bumper cover and steps.

this is a nnbs tahoe on 35s and I believe it just has an rc 3.5 on it in this pic. I think he added a 2 or 3 inch bl later on

My buddy runs the same set up. It looks good on him. i think im gonna go with a 1.5 inch body lift or either a 1' bottom spacer.

not worried about trimming and my running boards and steps are off i like the clean look

^ IMO do not put a spacer on that lift. I would think the CV angles would be too much.

Gonzo and another member are running 35s, but they have the 4-inch Rancho lift.

This. Do not make your angles any worse than they will be with the rc 3.5

Im gonna end up throwing the 295x70x18 on it. any thoughts on the top guncustoms 1 inch leveling kit though? one of my friends has it under the rc 3.5 and his angles arent as bad as i was expecting

^ Post some pics of that setup.

I feel like they would be real bad and I wouldn't want 35s on a front end with crappy angles
