Im wanting to lift my 05 tahoe with autoride but theres to many to chose from and having mix reviews. I think this would help me best.

It all depends on how much lift your expecting to get. For just a couple inches get gm white keys or ford keys and a spacer. You will also need shock extenders or newer shocks as well, bilstein 5100 are the go too. Or are you wanting a bigger like 4 then you would go for a suspension lift. Also you should get z71 springs for the rear.

I was looking at 4-6" suspension lift. But id like to see what it looks like and consider how it handles for everyone as well. Ive seen and heard mix results so id rather have a thread to compile all in one

Just got my 305/55/20's put on today. I just have keys and shock extender brackets. Had to cut some of the bumper close to the wheel well, cut the bolt on the left side, and gonna cut some of the plastic out. I tried uploading a picture. Don't know if it worked. If not I'll try again.

3" lift spindles, keys cranked just a little up front
2.5" spacers, z71 springs and extended sway bar links in the back with 5100's all around.
I got about 3.5-4 inches all the way around and I love it but now I want to go higher.

What brand are your spindles and do you have a PN for the rear end links? Thanks.

Also what size tires are you using?

 

[chrisreed822]

I can't seem to find the info for the spindles, but I got them off eBay. The links I ordered through amazon because the shipping was faster than the actual website. "Zone Offroad TJ Rear Sway Bar Link for 4-5" Lift" is the description.

ebay lift keys, gold anodized 2" spacers, z71 springs, tj rear sway bar links, airlift 1000s bags, 5100s all the way around, 33s on 20s

How much were the spindles? I found some on Amazon and they were $240 shipped.

I've been messaging with Red Raider and he has the CST spindles. Those cost $800 with rear spacers and brake lines. Are they really that much better to justify that price?

chrisreed - What size tires are you running and do you know what the roof height is on your truck?

01Konvict - Your truck looks great. It looks real high for having just a key lift. Do you have any rubbing issues with those tires?
I was looking at getting some 20x9 with 275-65-20 but I planning on going with the spindles and keys on the front like Chris and Red Raider have.

 

[chrisreed822]

I found my spindles on either eBay or amazon for around 200 shipped. Everything lined up perfect and I didn't have any issues installing them. I'm running 295/70-75/17, I can't remember 70 or 75.
I've never measured roof height but I fit in a garage with about an inch left.

 

[fire730]

Those are only 17s? They definitely look bigger than that. I thought you had 20s.

01Konvict - Do you have wheels spacers on your truck for the rear? It seems like they fit pretty flush with the front.

And just my humble opinion you need to get some Escalade rear vent caps. I don't know why GM went to that style when the 95-99 Tahoes had the ones like the later Escalades.

 

[01Konvict]

fire730 - I dont have any rubbing issues with my tire size of 33x11R20 (275/60R20). It sits at 39.5" front and 40" rear so its on the high height for keys and coil spacers. I have no wheel spacers and the rims are 20x9 with +12 offset so they sit flush with top of fender. I think your ride would look good with lift spindles/keys and coil spacers. I have been watching for a deal on some escalade vents and I think I would paint them black but maybe colormatch.

 

[fire730]

Thanks for the wheel specs.

My Esky vents are black. I don't plan on color matching mine.
