Lifts for 2500 Subs or Yukon XLs...what am I missing?

Yes. However most like to swap on the later Silverado wheels on to the Suburban's because they are very nice looking, especially the 5 spoke ones. Unfortunately you have to buy the spacers and perhaps trim the studs to make it work because of the size difference.

There is a local guy who sells on CL (I bought my Tahoe LTZ wheels for the 1/2 ton from him), he works at a dealership, and gets all the take-off's as customers upgrade them. Each one of them is from 2018+ which frustrates me to no end.

Look up OE Wheels. They have replicas of some of the newer wheels (the 5 spokes for sure) that are the right bolt pattern for our trucks.

So I have a guy local here in Chicago that just had the 5 stars pop up. They aren't perfect, but for his price, I am entertaining it.

Question is, on the adaptors to go from 165mm to 180mm, do I want 1.5" thickness or 2"?

2" will clear the studs. Some have had to cut the ends of the studs with the 1.5" spacers.
