Leveling Kit for 08 z71 tahoe

[emilivusc]

I'm putting 285 bfg AT's on it and im wondering what is the best leveling kit to use? Also are the rear kits/spacers in the back always needed to make it look good? I've read a bunch of posts talking about the lift kit but, not really which leveling kit works the best. I have a shop that will do it but kinda need red flags to look for so I don't get a bad kit, cause I'm having it done tom... Thanks for the help..

Which kit are you having installed? I've read a few reviews on these leveling kits and if the height increase is too much it increases the angles at the CV (not sure if this is correct). The increase in angle puts additional stress on these joints and causes excess wear. It also reduces the travel of the suspension by the amount of the lift.

I have not installed these on the Tahoe, but I did install bigger springs on my QX4. With the increase in height (~2 in.), the downward travel was reduced and ~2 years the CV boots needed to be replaced.
