I want to go from police suspension on 24's to 3.5 lifted on 20s and 33s

[BEEMDUB]

Want to get rid of this PPV suspension!!

So eventually (I'm thinking like as soon as this school year ends) I want to ditch the 24" U2s and go lifted 3.5" with 20's and offroads....Now a couple questions I have is

1. My truck rides like a stiff ************* now and I hate it what do I do to address that problem first of all?

2. Since my truck has PPV suspension and is already lower than stock, what do I need to get so that I can have a true 3.5" lift? I want to go with an RC 3.5" lift do I need anything more than that?

3. Anybody have an input on gas mileage of 24s on 305s vs a 3.5" lift and offroads ?


Also I should add that my truck is 2wd!


If anyone wants to ditch your lifted setup for 24s let me know

I would assume that it lowered with springs and maybe spindles but I cannot confirm that.

I will trade you my stock springs for your ppv springs.

If the 3.5 youre referring to is rcx, I'd rethink your plans

When did I say anything about rcx lol?

so I guess this isn't happening seeing as I don't know where to start lol..

What kit were you looking at?

Also what do you mean you don't know where to start?

yeah, send a link to the kit that youre looking at. it depends on what kit you plan on getting. if i were you i would try to contact Red_Raider to see what he did. he went from a dropped tahoe to a lifted setup with 35's. he has an nbs tahoe but you could still take a wack. try to see the problems he had and everything. idk how often he comes on here anymore but its worth a shot.

I'll contact him....at this point I don't think I'm even going to lift it, I just want to focus more on getting my truck to STOCK height and improve the ride as much as possible, because it is pretty rough right now no matter on 24s or my 17s...So I'm trying to figure out what I need to swap out to go from my ****** police suspension to stock height and better ride

 

[BEEMDUB]

basically what I want to know is, is it just as easy as just swapping out springs, shocks and struts?
