2001 Chevy Tahoe Questions (Level, Tires, 4x4 vs Z71)

[cole1247]

Hi. New to the forum and new as a Tahoe owner.

What is the best way to level a 2001 Chevy Tahoe 4x4?
(Assume raise front end to be leve with rear some how)

What is the largest size tire I can install with a 17" wheel?
(Assuming Tahoe is level and no extradordinary lift kit is installed)

What is the difference between the Tahoe 4x4 and Tahoe Z71?

Your input is greatly appreciated.

Regards,

This may be of only limited help.
Truxxx makes quality lifts, the leveling lift for the 07/08 is less than $200. Try looking at Fat Bob's Garage for your model year. Some folks have had a bad time with Fabtech so you may want to use caution with them.
33" should fit with no problem.
The Z71 adds some features to the standard 4wd like heavy duty springs, HD tuned shocks, skid plates, an auto rear locker, different front end eliminating the air dam and adding a radiator skip plate (as well as some trim changes).
