That is kind of how I am leaning right now too. Plus I wouldn't need new wheels.
The 37" MTRs are actually really cheap though.
(here is an example of some of the ones I am talking about)
I'm lifting it because I like lifted trucks. I have had plenty of off-road rigs (jeeps) so I am a fan of that endeavor also, but not in my tahoe.
As far as lift goes, I am looking at doing a 3" suspension lift with a 3" body lift. From what I have read, the suggested tire size is 315/75r16...
Not sure on the brand, but aftermarket 16x8 rims. The 285's I have stick out like 1/2" from the fenderwell.
Edit: Also, from my googling it sounds like the 37" MTR measures out to a 36" true height. FYI
I'm doing a 3" body with a 3" spindle lift. Was originally going 315/75r16's but I found a deal on some 37" mtrs (which I think aren't actually a true 37)
2001 Tahoe, 2 wheel drive. So I don't care about rubbing during articulation or anything.
Does anybody know if this is feasible?
Thanks a ton in advance!
Ok cool, any recommendations on slightly longer shocks for this application? I am on a pretty tight budget so I think I will have to wait on coilovers.
Do they make shock extenders for the rears?
I will be sure to take some pics.
Thanks again!

My main thing is I don't want to spend a couple grand on a lift. I lucked into a brand new in box 3" body lift for cheap, and now thinking I could round it out with a spindle/spacer lift for a 6" lift total under $500.
Does anybody have any experience with this company's lift spindles?

Looking to add some flares to my base model Tahoe and I came across some on craigslist.
Does anybody know if these would fit my hoe? Are there better, cooler, inexpensive options out there?
