Leveled 2WD rear Tahoe height, ebay keys decranked to Level with the rear. I plan on a new valanace, and removal of the lower airdam. Swap to a HD hood as well, before the repaint.

From lowered TO lifted TO leveled!

rear 3" inch increase track width.




front track width increase of 4" inches

Im starting to have some strange thoughts about it lowered again, on these 32s, so maybe the same 2/3 with the spacers as well... I think the wheel well be more full, and the track width make it more sporty. Maybe thats all I was wanting, is some width while lowered, im still pondering it as I look at all pics as a whole.

May need some Votes on this... but contemplating LOWERING it back with a 2/3-4 adjustable drop kit. The pics of it lowered before was on a 2/3 drop.


I want to lower back down with a 2/4 kit, and keep my wheel spacers & same tires. If the 2" WS too big I would do 1.5" WS up front as well.

So its pics of it lowered, lifted, and leveled. I really like the lowered look, after lifting it handling was not the best. I now know I want to have some sought of wheel spacers all the way around. So Im thinking of just lowering it.

need some more suggestions
