Need some advise

[1badc4]

was considering selling my Corvette and putting some money into my 2001 LS Tahoe 4WD thinking of 6" lift with either 33's or 35's not sure if the 35's will fit with just the 6" don't want to go any higher. is my daily and will not really be offroading. just do not want to trim anything major like bumpers. this was what I was looking at. will it work or if not where do i need to make changes? not sure why they don't offer a rear shock for 6" lift. thanks for any input.

Certainly no expert here but it looks like the lift gets you above the widest diameter point of the tire. I’d be a little surprised if the didn’t trim the front some. Looks great though.

You could clear 35s on a 6" lift with the right offset. I don't have that much lift on my Tahoe so I can't offer much help other than that, but I would recommend against a rough country shock. I know the Bilstien 5100s are widely recommended for a leveled truck and I think they have longer versions that will work with a 6" lift.

Having done off roading before with a purpose built 73 Blazer I can see the allure of the lifted Tahoe but you said it was going to be a daily driver. Better known as a "pavement pounder" around the mountains here in Oregon. It will look good but be prepared for less fuel mileage, clearance problems in garages or at fast food drive thru and that you will be putting more stress on steering and suspension pieces that will need to be replaced sooner than average. I did rock climbing and severe trails with rigs like yours that broke a lot on the trails but did fine on the pavement but you will still have parts wear out quicker.

Thanks for the input. I wasn't sold on them shocks. just preliminary pricing options. I have heard lots of good on the Bilsteins and I have them on the Corvette and they are great, yes the offset is very important and my weak knowledge point and where i can learn a lot from experience on here. this is my starting research. thanks again.

thanks I am very familiar with offroading as I had a 65 Chevy Stepside on a 76 under carriage built for that in the early 80's. I understand well about added stress. this is mainly for looks. I work 5 miles from home and usually put only about 5K miles/year on my trucks. I have a 2018 Nissan Rogue for highway use. just trying to gather info on proper wheel back spacing and sizing to avoid heavy rubbing. the kit I shared drops a arms and relocates TB's so not much changing in the way of suspension geometry.

Ok. The previous history of off roading was not made clear so I threw in . Good luck.
