Questions about 4x4 4 hi & 4 lo

@driven_mad Congratulations man, mine is also an 08. They are great rigs, educate yourself on the AFM thing just in case.

My Tahoe also has 20 inch wheels but after I put 33 inch tires on them they don't look too bad.

Did you install a lift on your Tahoe? I like how the bottom of the fenders are above the center height of the wheels.
I am considering leveling springs for the front and potentially some z71 springs/spacer for the rear.

@driven_mad Yes I have a bit of a lift on it, details can be found in my signature below my post.

This picture is before I put the 2.5 inch spacers on. It is using Moog 81244 springs in the front and Moog 81069 springs in the rear with bilstein 5100 shocks set at factory setting.

Are these springs larger then the z71 springs that your Tahoe had and or have a greater load rating?
How much lift did you achieve and did you need any additional parts before the spacers?

@driven_mad When I got my Tahoe it had lowering springs in the back so I had no frame of reference. Can't answer your first question.

I'd say I got about an 1.5 inch of lift in the back and maybe 1 inch in the front, the rest of my suspension was stock. Keep in mind I was on lowering springs so you will get less lift in the back.

Here is how my tahoe looked when I got it with lowering springs in the back and stock front:


Here is with Moog springs and bilstein shocks:
