I'm looking into doing a 3.5/3 or a 2.5/1 lift I've heard the 3.5/3 lifts can have issues aligning so I think a 2.5/1 would be better. It's a 2007 LTZ with the auto ride. I've also seen you need other thinks with shocks and everything what would that all be, I'm not to educated when it comes too all of the suspension stuff so any ones input would be appreciated!

I went with a 3/2 lift. Everything alligned up perfectly. I used a 2.5" upper strut spacer and a .5" lower strut spacer in the front. (Just in case 3" was too much, I could take out the lower and keep it at 2.5) And the rear I used a 2" spring spacer with shock extenders.

With some trimming, i am able to fit 305/55r20s on stock wheels with 2" spacers.

Was this it?

Please please please don't stack spacers on your vehicle. If you're going to do it, do it the right way.

Do research in this section and see what others have done and the cost with each way.

It isn't advised to go with 3"+ leveling kits or stacking of leveling kits. There are some "leveling kits" that utilize differential drops and other components to make them safer by putting CV angles, control arms, etc. in closer geometry. Please do research when trying to lift more than a level of the front as the factory components start to get stretched out pretty fast.

Don't go over 2.5" in the front! Also any thickness lower spacer is double the lift such as 1/2" equals 1" lift. For rear you need special shock extenders that don't rotate the shock. Also need front and rear ride height extensions. You should read the thread about auto ride levels and lifts in this section.

Thank you everyone!
I replaced the rear auto ride shocks about a month ago
