Another lift tire question:)

[NWTahoe]

I plan on getting the 3" suspension max spindle lift, keys, spacers and a 3" body lift on my 2wd 2002 Tahoe. Im lost on how this wheel backspacing etc works. Is offset and backspacing the same thing? Will a 17x9 with 5 inch backspacing and 0 offset work with this lift.

Also would I be better off with 325 70r17's or 305 70r17's or something totally diffferent. Looking at Terra Grapplers and Mickey thompson sidebiters.

Sorry about all the questions.

Thanks

What are the max backspacing specs for the spindles.

Looking around I don't think I need a 3" body lift. I have heard that the Zone 1.5" BL for the 1/2 ton truck fits is this correct? If I run 3" spindles, Keys, 2" spacers and the 1.5" body lift I should be fine for 35x12.50's correct?

you dont need the BL, spindles keys and spacers will clear 35s. If you ask Brandon nicely he might post some pics.

Yes Brandon has been quite the help

For the most part this is what I think Im going with, most likely minus the body lift for now. Here is what I think I need.

1-3" keys ebay or whatever

Zone 1.5" Body Lift 99-02 chevy 1/2 ton truckhttp://zoneoffroad.com/product?ki=226&gr=-1

6" lift shocks(Rear)

Opinions??

buy less lift for the rear than the front. front sits lower stock, and you dont wanna get full crank out of aftermarket keys unless you want it to ride like ass.

ALL YOU NEED IS SPINDLES, KEYS, AND A 3 INCH SPACER, Here is what it will look like....http://www.tahoeyukonforum.com/forum/album.php?albumid=171&pictureid=1241
