Suspension Lift

[UAV_1999]

:yaya: So I;m looking into getting a suspension lift for my 99 2 door tahoe. The UAV rides on 35's now and has a 4" body lift. I only want to pick it up just a few more inches but I'm wondering how much more to go. Which brand lift kit is recommended and how much more should I lift? I know later on I plan on getting bigger tires but haven't decided what size just yet.

nice truck uav. did u do anything else besides the body lift? Because u know how body lifts can sometimes cause overheating, did u do anything to prevent that??

The pro comp full drop kit is pretty good but the dick cepek 6.5" is the burliest kit for the obs trucks.

I have all brand new cooling hoses and modified the fan shroud.Everything seems to be fit and sound for now but you never know what the summer will bring. Any suggestions? :umn: I looked up dick cepek but the only thing I could fin are wheels and tires nothing on suspension lift. Is there a link you can point me to?

Ah bparker, you are from my neck of the woods. I'm originally from Denton, TX but I'm stationed in Virginia right now. I should be coming home to visit real soon

2wd or 4? go with a 4" its what i was rocking minus the body lift you have, LOVED it, 2wd though, so it was super easy to install spindles!

put a Procomp 4" or 6" lift on it. I love my procomp 6" lift.

Still comes up for me, and it's an excuse to sit on the forum at work all day.

Hell I'd like to be on the forum or at least playing with my Ultimate Assault Vehicle all day. But unfortunately the Navy doesn't allow web browsing throughout the day.:nonod:

Okay well this is what I found thanks to Boostaholic. Looks great and I think I will get it but $h!t... that's like 10.5 inches of lift. My skins are 35's. They are going to look tiny I think. Any recommendations on what size would make it look beefy to match the height?

38" or 37'' tires recommendation super swamper boogers or mud grapplers by Nitto.

Winning the I'm not buying a janky ass lift kit contest? In what context to I need to explain the generalization? It's one of those ridiculous interweb notations that you will have to somehow rationalize with at some point. I could cite the engineering of the kit or build quality of materials but I'd rather express my strong appreciation for the kit through a context I find appealing. That work for ya? :thumbsup:

makes sense. like this one is the best, pick this one or somthing like that, i need to stay up on my online forum lingo. but that means i have to learn two different lingos now, the yankee lingo and the forum lingo. people look at me funny when i say i want a soda and they give me a club soda and i say a coke, stupid yankees:smilielol:

I have always thought fab tech was the best...but it all depends on how much $$ you have.
