What lift should I go with?

[huntingtahoe]

I am currently running 285/70/17 Cooper Discoverer STT (mud terrains) with a leveling kit and I am not satisfied with the look, so I am wondering if a lift would even look good, and if so what to get because I just got the tires around Christmas and I want to keep them on....thanks guys

If ur gonna keep the tire size I wouldn't lift it at all

had done what? Lifted it with the tire size you have?


How much lift are you talking about? Are you running the stock wheels?

If you lift 4" and over, get new + size tires and wheels. You'll kick yourself in the ass if you dont. IMO

just a little bit more than my leveling kit and keep the same tires and yea im still running the stock rims, but have thought about getting some different rims.

I'd do a zone 1.5. Just order the one for 99-02 silvy

How much work and cash would that be...and if anyone out there has pictures of a body lift on their hoe that would be awesome..

I really dont like body lifts... something about brackets to drop your bumper to place, steering column ext. and some that you can see a lot of frame... thats a big turn off for me.
I say just wait till you need new tires and go all at once. Thats what I did.

1.5 zone is like 150

OK, I've got a question for everybody. I have an 04 Tahoe Z71, if I go with a 3" front and 2" rear lift, what's the biggest tire size I could run on it? It has the stock wheels and 265-70-17's on it now. Really like the pics of Arctic-Rodz ride. What size lift and tires are on it? Thanks in advance for any help.
