Level kit or small lift?

[63Blackseries]

I was actually in the same dilemma, i ordered the TGC 2.5 leveling kit haven't installed it but now want to go with a 6 inch lift instead so i can fit 35s been eyeing the BDS 6 inch suspension lift.

6in always seemed like a lot to me, but actually its not that outrageous.. 12-14inch lift is getting kinda crazy.

Do you guys think with a 3.5inch lift, and a -6 offset the 17s and 35s would possibly fit with minor trimming?

I added a CCM 2.5"/1" leveling kit on a stock '07 Tahoe LTZ and was able to fit Toyo M/T 275/65R20s. I initially has minor rubbing which was eliminated with minor trimming. If I had to do it over again, I'd go 275/60R20.

The pictures are in order: 1. stock; 2. after leveling kit install; 3. with new tires

Those are some big tires for a level

Looks good, so those would be 34s right?

Might be a dumb question but if my 07 burban is stock 20inch wheels and I go down to 17s with 305/65/17s and a negative offset is that going to add stress to tranny or any other parts?

the truck was designed to run 20inch wheels but the previous years all came with 17s

The OEM 20" vs 17" is just an option/package from the dealer. GM didn't upgrade transmissions based on wheel package. 305s is a common size, just don't drive like you stole it and periodically keep an eye on the transmission temp if you're concerned.
