    Done!

    Put the body lift on today.... took me/my kid brother (who knows NOTHING about cars) about 6 hours. Not as bad as I was expecting.

    Need to wash it up and get better pics. JUST got done, still need to scrub this grease off.

    The blue tahoe is a 4x4. Used to be about 3" taller then the silverado.

    7" suspension
    3" body
    315/75/16's

    haha, i had 3.42 stock. Picked up a set of 3.73's with a G80 for real cheap few months ago when i had the 33's.


    We'll ride this for a while, then I'm sure it'll end up getting a straight axle...still not tall enough

    If 15's would fit...i'd run those.


    Tires are cheaper. Next summer I MIGHT get a set of like 37x13.5x18/20's, but i'm prolly looking at 1800 for wheels/tires. I like the look of a tall sidewall, unless the tires are huge, I think big wheels look goofy.

    Yeah, I stay with 16's too.

    Cost of tires is crazy!! More sidewall the better in my opinion.

    These tires are like 34.25" ...are "appearance blemishes" paid 525 for all 4 shipped, brand new. The white letters looked goofy, but i run blackwalls, so I could care-a-less


    New they were like 200 each. The nitto mud grapplers i wanted are 230 a piece
