Hello,
I'd like to compare my total lift to a stock LT from center of wheel to the fender lip. If anyone can provide that measurement it is greatly appreciated.
The reason, last summer I bought some Rough Country loaded struts used online along with some Bilstein 5100 rear shocks. I added a 1.5" billet spring lift in the rear to level the rear with the front. However, I didn't record my factory measurements prior to doing these struts. My factory fronts were completely worn out and sagging, so I do not believe they were rushing at the correct height. After fighting the struts during install, I called RC and was told that the struts I bought were actually for a truck, not an SUV and would yield roughly 3.5" of lift on my Tahoe. The rep said these would work fine and so far I've ran them for roughly 20-30k+ miles. I'm just curious how much it really raised it.
Also, suggestions on UCA's? Will aftermarket ones rub my factory 18" wheels? I'm leaning toward KSP as something like kryptonite is outside my budget for a vehicle with nearly a 1/4 million miles. I'd rather spend the extra money on maintenance and finishing my winch install with my Westin Max Winch tray.
Thanks!
