I won them for $26 + $10 shipping on ebay. Hopefully I get them soon. I want to put them on this weekend. Now I just need to find a deal on some meats.

I was just going to turn it up in the front enough to level it with the rear. Can I get enough out of the keys to allow me to put spacers on the rear and still get it level? That would be a pretty sweet poor mans lift.

I would go with 33s to be safe. I have a 8.5" rim and i regret not gettin 10". If you wanna go for the wide stance

I like body lifts but not for the Tahoe. I'd like to get some 32" or 33" tires under it. It will look good. I'll definitely check into the coil spacers.

i did the ford keys and i can clear a 33..the ones i tried were a bit wide and hit the plastic piece below the bumper when turning...

BUT i think my driver side torsion bar is funny, as it is fully cranked w/ the f150 key..and my passenger side is only maybe 1" in and its level all the way around. I think maybe the torsion bar got turned a slot one way or another from its stock location on the a arm. So if the driver side was like the passenger i know i could go a couple inches higher and then would need rear coil spacers.

Okay, I got my ford keys. Where can I find a 1" spacer? I think ebay only has 2" or more spacer right now and I don't want to lift the rear that much. I'll put the Fords on this weekend and start trying to find some rear spacers. I won't be getting it aligned until after I get the rear set and the front level with the rear. I really need to find a good deal on some tires.
