Need help lifting my 2001 Chevrolet Tahoe

[owl_93]

Oh that's cool. And that's exactly what I want because I'm also doing a 3 inch body lift so I would have 5.5 - 6 inch lift. Thanks y'all. I'll be ordering my stuff soon!

I've toyed with the idea of getting a body lift, but I hear that you need to get brackets to relocate your bumpers so that they line up right. This makes them unable to be used for towing, recovery points, etc.. Which is not an option for me.

Yeah I've heard that too but at the same time I want to get a six inch lift on the Tahoe. But maybe I should stick with the things that y'all suggested then think about the body lift! That way I don't make a mistake

If you don't need your bumpers really, then screw it. Go with the level, shocks, and BL. But if you need that height for like 35's or 37's, you might as well spend the extra $400 over the cost of level and BL and get a full on 6" lift kit. No suspension geometry issues, wearing ball joints, and intact bumpers and mounts. If I had the $, I would have gone with a 5" rear 6" front lift kit, Bilsteins, and 35x12.5 tires. Oh well. Im more than happy with the ride and look of 33x11.4 with the level.

I would like to keep my bumpers for now just because I want too haha and I'm just doing it to get bigger tires. And yeah if I had the money I would definitely get a 6 inch fts suspension with a 3 inch body lift also with 37 inch tires. But that is just not gonna happen for a very long time!

So i went to order all of the stuff today and torsion keys were out of stock and may not be sold anymore. So my question to you is..... what other torsion keys do you recommend?

This is a kit with keys and 2" rear spacers. Should be the same keys as the ones sold seperately

You could run a 1.5" silverado lift and get longer bolts for the tahoe then the HD grill and front bumper pad so it covers that gap in the front and use a filler panel between the rear bumper and the gate so you can still tow. Thats what I went with when I had a stock front bumper. For now I'm running a filler piece in the rear until i build my rear bumper this spring.

Tires?

Quick question here? since I have gotten a steady job i will be ordering all my stuff soon, I have a question about how big of tires I can go up to. So basically what is the tallest tire I can get?

I wouldn't go bigger than 33's. Depends on the exact tire. 33" Toyo MTs rub a tiny bit when I have the wheels cranked all the way and I'm backing up sometimes. But I've heard people say they run 295/305 tires with no rub. Different manufacturers and different tread patterns will throw off the exact "measurements".
