1999 2 door tahoe lift...Question!

Bowtie is right. Go lower than 4.10. That's what I have and I wish I had gone 4.56 or 4.88. I make my self feel better by saying I have 4Lo in reserve if I need lower gearing.

I have the RCD 6" lift and a 3' body lift. I only rub if I come down ******* the front and the wheels are turned.
My ladder bars had to be welded in. The bars didn't quite reach where they were supposed to land on the frame so I couldn't bolt them in like the kit is supposed to.

If you plan on doing some heavier wheeling and you can be patient and save up some extra dough a solid axle swap is the way to go. You can get more flex and can install a locker into the front diff. Other wise the drop down bracket lifts have served most of us quite well.

Im not trying to thread jack but what is the difference between an IFS and an SAS lift?? What is IFS and SAS?

IFS - Independent Front Suspension which is great for a smooth ride, but not good for more hardcore offroad

SAS - Solid Axle Swap which replaces the IFS with a solid front axle. Great for flexing and articulation offroad. Easy to maintain, just not very easy to setup. Lots of fab work involved from what I understand.

I'm running something similar to what your looking at I'm running a 6" RCD kit with a 2" body on 38x13.5x18, it not only looks good but I get awesome traction

I did the lift last week. I went with the rough country 6" lift, 17" mickey thompson classic wheels and 35x12.50x17 tires. I am satisfied. This week I am going to pull off the running boards and put on black or chrome tube steps, I haven't decided which yet but I am leaning towards black. I am also running dual exhaust.
