i have heard that it is not as simple was the non z71 and non air ride rigs to slap on a lift kit?? how did it go for you

 

[Z71 tahoe]

Not too sure about that. I had someone put the lift on for me. It's the 3.5 rough country. The control arms were replaced. I am actually not happy with it. Higher than I wanted to be. It cost me 550 parts and labor. I am willing to sell the lift for a cheap price if anyone is interested. Going to go with a 1 inch spacer in the front. This was a 900 lesson learned.

I think it looks good. Can you post a pic of the CVs if your rig is 4WD? Just curious regarding the angles of the CVs and driveline.

 

[Z71 tahoe]

It's a 2WD.

It upsets me that you want to drop it back down, I think it looks awesome.
A 1" spacer is hardly going to be noticable and and will probably rub quite a bit. I did 2.5" front and 1.5" rear and still had to trim the air dam and fender walls to fit 285 bfg's properly.

IMO I would consider at the very least going with a 2" spacer in the front, maybe a 1" in the rear. The CCM 2.5"/1" kit is very popular here, I just wanted a 1.5" rear to keep a little bit of rake.

Took the lift off. I have a 1 inch spacer on the front and nothing on the back. The p285's fit perfect. No rubbing at all! I was worried they would not fit. The tahoe looks really good now.

I'm getting the same 3.5 lift for my Yukon 4x4. I think it looks good but, it's all about what you like. My 275/55/20's rub because of my after market rims have a negative 12 offset.

How much you wanna sell it for? Do you ahve a pic of the lift kit? What kind of lift is it? body lift? I wonder if it'll just bolt on to my avalanche. I have a 2.5/1.5 on there now and wouldn't mind being a little higher.

 

[Z71 tahoe]

I will take some pics of the parts tom. It's a 3.5 on the front and like a 2.75 or something on the back. I paid 550 total for labor and parts. The guy told me it was the CSX brand I think that's the name. He said it's what used to be rough country. Honestly not sure what they go for. Anyways if you think you like it and want to give it a try let me know. I can ship it to you and you can pay. If you don't like it you can ship it back and I will give you your money back or however you would like to do it.

What type of lift is it? Any model number so I can look at the actual components? Does it ride rough? What was your reason for taking it off? I know you said 550 total but how much of that was labor?

 

[Z71 tahoe]

No it didn't really ride rough. Pretty much drove the same just higher up. I took it off because it was too high for my taste. I was trying to go with a different look. The set up I have know is what I like. Let me take some pics and try and find the part number. I will message you.

 

[Z71 tahoe]

Here it is.

 

[felixgun]

Can anybody chime in if this will work with a leveling kit stacked on top of it? Not sure if it'll F up my CV angles or not...

Will it fit 4x4?

Yea that looks to be what it is. Looks like it's selling for 370 on eBay. Anybody interested I would sell for 250.
