Lift height vs. tire size and etc..

[ScottyGunn]

I'm thinking of buying a diesel Suburban and have some lift questions.

How much of a lift would I need to effectively use it in rough terrain? My jeep has a 4" and drags sometimes.

What size tires will fit with each lift height and at what point would I need to trim fenders, wheel wells, etc...?

What are the available lift kits that are a good value and not outrageously expensive?

Google is your friend on lift sizes vs tires.

As far as dragging, Geez, my 4 door jeep had 4" and 35"s and I never found anything to tough. My Tahoe is also on 35" and will go anywhere within reason.

Suburban is a long truck, so have to be careful, don't expect to get in and out of situations like the jeep.

Good luck finding this body diesel surburban! Those were only custom made called duraburb. They did the swap on 2500 series platform. So I would go 6-8" lift and CST, Cognito, FTS all make good kits for the 2500s.

BDS 6.5 and 3"body is what my Denali XL is gonna be running. I can fit up to 40's if I wanted to.
