Question about lift and tires.

[willem]

I got some spare 285/70r17 cooper tires on OEM 17” lt wheels, and i was wondering if they would fit on my 2003 (4wd) tahoe if i would buy something like this: http://http://www.ebay.com/itm/2000-2006-GM-1500-SUV-2-5-FRONT-1-5-REAR-LEVELING-LIFT-FEATURING-BILSTEIN-/161624357340?pt=Motors_Car_Truck_Parts_Accessories&fits=Model%3ATahoe&hash=item25a18ff9dc&vxp=mtr Parts for a tahoe are kinda hard to get in the country were i live so rather know for sure it will fit or what betters options would be.

My apologies for my English since I’m not too good with it.

Your link seems to be broken. But in the URL i saw something mentioning Bilsteins and a Level kit. If you level with keys and spacers and z71 coil springs and bilsteins, you can fit 285/70's. You will need to bring the front up 2.5" or so and add 1-2" spacers with the new springs your should be fine. My tires don't rub at all and they are 285/75/16r, which is the same overall height and width as yours.

Thanks for your reply. The set includes 2,5" keys, 1,5" spacer, bilstein 5100 front and rear shocks. So only need to get additional z71 coil springs.

owl, sharp looking truck!
i was just reading your amazon list.... and was wondering if that set up would work on my 05 tahoe? also is that the set up you have on your tahoe?

 

[owl_93]

I think it will. What suspension options do you have? Autoride? Z71?

Chances are this should work just fine. The only thing is, if you already have the z71 package, you don't need to buy the coil springs, unless you wanted to replace them. With 215k, you might as well spend the extra $60 bucks for the coils.

Mine had the autoride (automatic air leveling by increasing pressure in the shocks) and my shocks were blown.

Look for the badge on the side of the truck between the rear of the back doors and infront of the cargo side window. It should either say "LS", "LT" or z71. Im guessing you would know if it were a z71...
