i have heard that it is not as simple was the non z71 and non air ride rigs to slap on a lift kit?? how did it go for you

Not too sure about that. I had someone put the lift on for me. It's the 3.5 rough country. The control arms were replaced. I am actually not happy with it. Higher than I wanted to be. It cost me 550 parts and labor. I am willing to sell the lift for a cheap price if anyone is interested. Going to go with a 1 inch spacer in the front. This was a 900 lesson learned.

I think it looks good. Can you post a pic of the CVs if your rig is 4WD? Just curious regarding the angles of the CVs and driveline.

It's a 2WD.

It upsets me that you want to drop it back down, I think it looks awesome.
A 1" spacer is hardly going to be noticable and and will probably rub quite a bit. I did 2.5" front and 1.5" rear and still had to trim the air dam and fender walls to fit 285 bfg's properly.

IMO I would consider at the very least going with a 2" spacer in the front, maybe a 1" in the rear. The CCM 2.5"/1" kit is very popular here, I just wanted a 1.5" rear to keep a little bit of rake.

Took the lift off. I have a 1 inch spacer on the front and nothing on the back. The p285's fit perfect. No rubbing at all! I was worried they would not fit. The tahoe looks really good now.

I'm getting the same 3.5 lift for my Yukon 4x4. I think it looks good but, it's all about what you like. My 275/55/20's rub because of my after market rims have a negative 12 offset.
