Yet another new guy.

[whee]

Thanks for the warm welcome guys!

This Tahoe is a plain vanilla LT. 5.3L 4x4 with a middle bench and black leather. No auto ride. It’s prefect for my use.

A bunch a googling lead me to believe the CCM leveling kit is the way to go. I think it’s 2.5” at the front and 3/4” at the rear. I’m not really looking for any sort of lift but this amount will likely be beneficial for my trips to Moab, UT.

I wish I had some good pics from the adventures this rig has taken my family on during our first year owning it. Other than some local trips to Yellowstone and such our first trip was 8hrs up the freeway to N Idaho for a bike ride.


Then a trip to near Stanly for some rafting.

We did a lot of local towing of the powerboat, a trip to Seattle, and some other things all with a smile because of how much we like this car.

Our bike trip to N Idaho showed us that our bike rack was not up to the task so we had to get a different one. It works great on the Tahoe.


Earlier this week she rolled 300k.

The way to know (at least in paper) what a given amount of lift front or back will do is to measure. If you take a tape measure, with the truck on a flat surface, measure from the ground to the center of your fender, right through the center of the wheel with the tape as near 90 degrees as possible. That will tell you where you sit now and how much theoretical change will net a lift front to back. There will be slight differences side to side and after you install the lift, results may be a little different than published due to the set your springs take, etc. But that should get you close.

Great to see that your truck is an integral part of your outdoor adventures. Keep it going!
