hey guys. i am looking for some help on picking out the size of a leveling kit for my 08 tahoe LT. im not really sure wat size to get to make it exactly level. i am not interested in any "cali-lean" and i would like it to be as level as possible. should i add a kit to the back also or do i only need it in the front. i have the 20" stock wheels also. any information would be much appreciated :)

Go with the CCM kit. It raises the front about 2.5" and the rear about 1.0". I put this kit on my Tahoe and it looks great and it is not very expensive.

As far as tires if you keep the factory 20"s, you can run a 285/55R20 with minimal rubbing. I am running a 305/55R20 with my leveling kit and i had to trim the front air dam and some of the plastic liner in the wheelwells.

Yep, the CCM kit seems to be the best and most popular. I have zero complaints....it's been installed for about one year (13,400 miles ago) and I love it!

I run 285/70-17 tires...they're a hair under 33" diameter.

Just make sure you know that the ccm kit is acutally like 1.25 inches so dont be scared when you get it... Due to the geometry it actually lifts 2.5 inches.

Any front spacer for the NNBS is probably actually going to be smaller than the lift due to the geometry. Heres a pic.
