I just bought a 95 Tahoe LS 2Door. How can I put slightly bigger/wider wheels without using a lift kit? I'll be posting some pics soon. Any help or advice will be highly appreciated :)

unknown at this time.
with a properly working stock suspension you can do it without any trouble really. do you have a sagging suspension or something already?

No, I don't have anything done to it yet. The truck is completely stock. Never modified. I'm new to the 4x4/off road scene. So, I have no idea where to start. I kind of have an idea now after speaking to someone on the 2door Tahoe facebook page. What's a well known website or company for top of the line off road parts and accessories?

well if nothing is sagging you can get any tire wheel combo that brings you out to the same dimensional specs as a lt285/75/16. or if giving rim another inch in diameter lt285/70/17 or lt 285/65/18. the width that is most commonly chosen for rims is 8" wide with a 4.25 backspace. you should be able to fit that stuff fine however at some point in increasing diameter of tire gear ratios will have something to say about the power that reaches the ground.

Fairhope, al
I have after market keys and I have them cranked some, but my bumper weighed down the front end so I had to crank more than the stock weight, when I first got truck it was all stock and sagging pretty bad in front, then I put aftermarket keys and it sat level and cleared 285/75r16 no rubbing and it still had stock ride, after I cranked keys I lost stock ride but I like the way it looks and I had to crank after I put the bumper on ImageUploadedByTapatalk1371706316.826867.jpg
