I currently have a 2011 Chevy Tahoe with a 3 inch spacer in the front and a 2 inch spacer in the rear. It Has 305/55/20 on it. I also installed a diff. Drop. It still rides very nice but I need two to three more inches. What can I add- on to get this for the best price. I can not afford a 2g lift kit righ. Now but don't think i want to put a 3 inch body lift. Please help?

Well with that info, best option would be a RC 4" kit. No way to really get 3" out of what you have now without a body lift. Save some cash and get a 6-7" lift

The four inch would replace the 3/2 I have now wouldn't it? Seems like I'd be spending a lot of $$ for 1-2 inches right?

Pictures would help to determine what can or can't be done. What kind of diff drop are you using? To properly lift the truck you would need around a 3-4" diff drop with what you currently have to keep the angles in spec. I know you said the truck rides good but on these newer strut truck it isn't hard to get a smooth ride while still putting a ton of stress on every component.

Would lift spindles be an option? or are they only for 2wd? I am guessing you're 4wd because of the diff drop issues.
