because 1/2 ton ifs chevy front ends are garbage to lift and they have as much travel dropped as lifted. I could never lift a 1/2 ton unless I did an sas, sh*t is just gross lifted unless you just do a tbar crank and some 33s. dropped looks way better and I can drive over just as much crap as the lifted fools, just gotta know your truck... or have a big ass jeep if you wanna go wheelin.Just curious... why would you buy a Z71 and lower it? In my mind... it just doesn't make sense. I'm not flaming you or anything, but wouldn't it be better to get a 2WD LS and drop it? I mean... the Z71 package is all about off-road... just wondering... again, not flaming... just wondering what the thought is behind that...

A lot of times when I pull the boat out of the water, I wish my truck was 4wd. Some of the ramps are steep and coated with algae and slippery if you get the rear too far down the ramp. 4wd would definitely help me pull out a little easier with the front wheels being on dry ground. 4wd/awd can be a benefit on flat ground in slippery conditions, not just off road. And at the beach...being higher isn't going to help me get unstuck, but 4wd will.Guess I can see that... I just never understood lowering a 4x4... regardless of it being a Tahoe, blazer, explorer, etc. I'm not against lowering... if I had a 2wd 'hoe, I'd drop it on 22's...

I think Boost does a few and knows a little about lifting vehicles...Im sorry but this response is ****ing stupid. I run a earlier body style but i have a 6 inch lift, 35s and bag out of it and still havent broken a front end. My truck suspension up front had probably a good 6 inches of travel, a lot more then a stock truck. A lowered 4wd truck is also going to lose up travel. Not to mention shear clearence gained underneath a truck when lifted. I wouldnt compete against some jeep with the same hieght, but the tahoe is a off road purpose built vehicle like the jeep.
Some people ignorance amazes me.
Lol thanks dude. I figured I would leave this one alone, my years of engineering and countless builds for customer's jeeps/tahoes/toyotas/etc puts me in a position that doesn't allow for ignorance on the subject. I like lifted trucks as much as lowered which is why I tow my long arm'd jeep to the trails with my big, comfortable, lowered, ifs 1/2 ton :smilielol:I think Boost does a few and knows a little about lifting vehicles...
