Lift kit questions 2 or 3" in the front and 3" or 4" in back

[skyhighsami]

Right now my truck sits exactly 34" front and rear. It is a 1996 Tahoe with 131k miles. I am wanting to lift it either 2" or 3" in the front and 3" or 4" in the back. It will have to ride as good or better than stock, I would need it to tow alot better, have more stability, and clear a 33" tire on stock wheels. I want to replace alot of the bushings in the control arms, sway bar, and etc. The truck has a lot of slop in the steering and I want to get as much of that out as possible. I know a lot talk has been made of the Rough Country 6" lift. How well does it ride and does the rear us a block or leaf? Because I think I would rather have a leaf spring pack since I plan on towing my truck and race car with it.

My 6" lift came with a 5" block and a add-a-leaf for the rear. The add a leaf gives it some more towing capacity, IIRC. As far as the slop in the front, check the pitman and idler arms, and inner/outer tie rods. If that is all good, then your steering gear is probably worn.

You will need a 6" lift kit decranked. RCX kit is about 4" in front uncranked. No 2-3 inch kit will ride right.

x2. if you really want a leaf pack you can buy lift packs from BDS,Procomp, or a local spring shop. be a little more but better than the blocks.
