I've just purchased a very clean 2003 Tahoe 5.3L 4x4. I am interested in getting a leveling kit put on and have seen some that would give me 2.5" of lift in the front an 1" in the back. Does anyone have pictures of their Tahoe with that setup? Also, does this compromise the in-town drivability of the vehicle a noticeable amount? I really like how it feels on the road, although I do plan on installing some Z71 shocks as it is a little soft for my taste.

Also, what's the easiest way to figure out which rear-end I have? I think I've determined it has a 3.73 gear ratio, but I'm not positive. I'm hoping it isn't open, but it is what it is.

Lastly, if I didn't immediately get the leveling kit, does anyone know if 33" BFG All-Terrains would fit in the wheel wells without rubbing, or would I have to stick with 31's?

Thanks for any info anyone can offer. I know it's a lot of questions for my first post, but I'm really excited about this truck and would like to know more about it.

Thanks again!

Have the dealership run your VIN they can tell you what gearing you have and if it came with a posi unit too.
