So looked at the Lewisville Autoplex and they have lifted Suburbans and Tahoe’s and they all look sweet. Screen capped the dealer notes. Looks like they are using the Rough Country 6” lift with 37’s. Might be using a small custom body lift to fit the 37’s. It looks sweet!

I’m running 285/55/r22 +24 offset with the RC 2” front and rear kit. Very minor trimming required to the front fender well.
Stock offset is +27 on a Z71, right? I'm wondering if I could run 275/65r20s with your kit and the stock rims. If I'm doing the math right, those are about .2 inches shorter and half an inch more narrow than your tires. Unfortunately none of my local shops can give me a straight answer.

You should be fine, maybe slight trim if any in front inner fender that you would never notice if they do a good job.

And stock z71 wheels are technically +28 offset.

I'm sure some of you have seen this, but I came across this video the other day:


He doesn't mention the lift height but it looks like 6" with 35s. Looks like there's even more room in there to stuff some bigger tires in.

Oh man, same color as mine. This is the exact stance I'm looking for. Hopefully we'll find out some more info on this lift.

Yeah, love it when shops/vendors talk about their new lift offerings but not a word on the actual lift (shocks, coilovers, control arms). Just a rebranded RC lift that I wouldn't take off-road. Good for the mall though.

3.5 RC installed …. Tiny trimming/pin back to make 285/65/20s fit. Will post more pics later.
I know on the RC website it says that non of the lifts they have will work on the z71. Did you have any issue with installing it? Or no why they are saying it won’t work on the z71 but will the regular tables?
