am i really gonna have to be the first to say this?

you flipped because your top heavy suv was already lifted too high to begin with, why would you lift your next one even higher? my 2010 tahoe is lifted, but its only lifted 2 1/2 inches in the front and the back is stock... in reality you arent going to offroad a $30k+ vehicle so you dont need clearance you only lift it for a clean stance / look. Why would you drop ~$5000 on a lift kit when i spent $132 on some bigger shocks from Bilstein and i got to keep my stock ride and still have a clean look to it, and i keep my low center of gravity so the rubber side stays down. Think about it. go with black rims next time also as suggested, the chrome looks corny.

yes true it is a top heavy vehicle. i do realize that , and it did not take me long to learn how to drive and maneuver my vehicle when approaching or taking turns/and bends....i drive sloooooow and im easy on the pedal.

and i can drop 5000$ on it because i have the money, and each person has to their liking. i rolled my vehicle because i was clipped from behind.

and as far as your suggestion i agree. but my vehicle was unique and i loved it. and to say the chrome was corny is just a matter of opinion of course. the very short time i had it everyone absolutely loved it. ive never had so many compliments from so many people it stood out from the rest

Get yourself a Suburban or the large Yukon XL, level it , get some decent wheels and tires and you will be happy. Larger wheelbase means more stable and less topheavy:Handshake:

JOSH--- totally agree with you, yeah these may be top heavy but come on people look at all the ridiculously awesome suvs/trucks on the road. This wasnt your fault, they must not understand how to drive anything but a lowered rig. I say that was one of the most badass lifted yukons i have seen on the forum and do the next one even bigger and badder specially if you have the money. These rigs are plenty stable. PLUS IMO theres nothing classier than black/chrome or white/chrome. Black/black is cool but its getting played out, they all look the same, blacked out.
