Thats would be enough since the front is only 2" lower than the rear. So 3/4" will help to get rid of the Cali Lean.

aight ill do that. i got a wakeboard with bindings on there brand new worth $800 for $339 so i kinda trust ebay. But i figure with the pro comp front spacer for the 2" in the front and then that superlift 3/4" spacer in the back i should clear with minimal trimming and rubbin right?

looking on ebay i cant find coil spring spacers or strut spacers. So i guess id have to go from the store. but the pro comp goes for like 122 and the superlift for 43 so together thats 165. I mean for that kind of price to fit those tires is hella good i think. So i guess i would just go with that system.

Look at the ReadyLift SST lift kits. It is a 2.5" front spacer and a 1" rear spacer.

I'd recommend 2.5" up front and 1.5" spacers in the rear. 295/70/18s work out to be 34.26 inches in diameter theoretically. FYI, I have 285/65/18s on stock Z71 rims and had to trim ~2 inches off the front wheel wells. The back spacing on aftermarket rims will help though.

I have 2.5" front and 1" rear spacers and it is level. The reason I recommend 1.5" spacers in the back is if you frequently carry heavy loads or tow, the rear has room to squat.

Just my 2 cents.

yeah i would go with that but i dont plan on hauling any REALLY heavy loads. I mean the biggest thing id haul is maybe a 16' boat. And that's not heavy enough to make the back really squat. But ill prolly go with that kit that Conor was talking about with the 2.5 in the front and 1 in the back. I may have to do some trimming but its not that big of a deal unless theyre taking out my whole damn wheel well. But my uncle owns a car dealership and he looks around on the market for cars for our family. I told him to look for an 07 tahoe or yukon. I know they are about the same cars on the outside and inside but are they the same underneath? like would there be different kits i would need to order for a yukon instead of a tahoe?

i think i found the one yall are talking about its a readylift 2.25 kit and it says it levels and lifts so im guessing that includes the back too. Theyre talkin about $330 which i still think is decent since last time i ordered a lift to clear 35s it was in the 2ks. But i bet this kit would work good instead of ordering different brand and size parts and hoping they work out like you want them too.

The Readylift only includes the front. FYI I got the CCM 2.5"F/1"R for $125. Leveling kits will not allow fittment of 35s, a proper 4-inch lift kit is needed. NNBS Yukon and Tahoe have same suspension, but there is an autoride suspension option that is different. IMO a spacer is a spacer, so mixing brands is not a big deal.

Hope this helps.

You will need atleast a 4" lift to clear those tires. I only say that because I have an 07 Suburban with 33" Nitto TrailGrapplers. I couldn't fit 35s without trimming the front bumper. But good luck to you.
