Why would you want to lift it anyway?

Roads are really bad where I just moved to. Therefore it has to be lifted, I like it better. 1.5" over stock is not really much of a lift. Its a lot of "unimproved roads ahead" signs; to where I moved to "street signs" . I admit, I use my truck as a truck, whether hauling engines in the back of the Tahoe, or hauling transmissions. No third row, so I use the cargo if needed. Fold all the seats back and have a 6' bed.

Truck looks tuff, I still need to get pics. its not overdone, or noticeable to most, Just looks Mean. I need to wash it up and take some pics from my cam-corder, instead of the iPhone.

I love the lowered blacked out look. The state troopers around here had a few that had smaller tires and looked lowered.

I know, state troopers thought I were troopers. IMO! I get asked, and see people look the opposite way all the time. And Ive been pulled by a trooper b4 and he checked my truck out, and let me go after runing 150s and a warning. Im just wanting the tuff look a little, nothing major. I personally think the 1.5 looks good.

OFFICIAL LIFTED PICS JUST ADDED....

some limited pics I took today, as it was beautiful outside... truck actually has a **** load of tools in the back, jacks, etc, plus a 80e tranny laying in the rear as well. This thing is just a beast with all this weight, and the tranny is slipping like crazy, and still was able to take a nice acceleration video I will upload shortly. No burnouts as I did not have any help filming.











I like the truck more lifted, for some reason... still wanted Sport. 1.5" is good, lol

good eyes. 2"front. 1.5"rear, 1.5" spacer, ebay lift keys.

My truck is loaded with **** in the rear including a new 80e tranny to replace this slipping one. But this tranny slips crazy bellow 3k, and I did not even brake stall it, but had to let off, not shabby for a slipping trans with welded clutches.

walkaround

Did you use a coil spacer for the rear? I added keys & coil spacers to our 2001 Yukon with Autoride. Works great, looks good too!
