Do I need a lift for my Tahoe?

[Sweet Aaron]

Hey everyone, i'm new here and plan on becoming pretty active seeing as how I just recently bought my first Tahoe. The major question i'm having right now is if I want to put 35's on my Tahoe will I need to have a lift? If so, what the minimum lift I would have to get? I'm trying to keep the best mpg I possibly can haha.
Thanks everyone!
Aaron!

welcome. before you think of 35s remember that after you get the lift you HAVE TO REGEAR or your trans will go to hell quickly. for minimum lift id say maybe 4 or 5 inch lift...

yeah; I was also thinking about this but I wasn't sure if I was going to have to re-gear or not, I may just wind up going with 26's instead. The reason I was asking is because I had found a great deal on some 35in Nitto Mud grapplers with 20in Moto Metal wheels.

really for anything bigger than oem should be looked at getting regeared even 33s should get looked at because yea im sure u like ur trans... 26s arent my style but i dont think they need to be regeared. is urs a 4x4?
