Big P Posted July 10, 2007 Report Share Posted July 10, 2007 This is just my opinion and im not trying to step on burritos toes in his own thread but if I had a choice between bags or a body drop. I would bag it first. That way if something happens and im not able to get to the body drop right away I can at least drag it and hit some switches. I wouldnt want to drive around a summer with a body dropped truck with no custom suspension. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BURRITO Posted July 10, 2007 Report Share Posted July 10, 2007 (edited) Hey man, I'm driving a 2000 tahoe 4wd with the 5.3l v8, and I was considering lifting the front 2", putting on some 20" rims (not the offroad ones, but not really the baller ones either, i cant really describe the ones im thinking of...) and some bigger tires. How much would it run me for the lift (i'm not sure, but i think i could tighten up my torsion bars...good idea or no?) and what size tires would look right under it... And overall, should I even consider doing this or would it not be worth the hassle? please show me a picture of said wheels and tires... hell just give me the sizes and we can calculate some measurements!!! are you just lifting the front to get a level ride?

Some 20x9.5 ( i think thats the right width for my car), and probably some 32" tires, nothing crazy but just real aggressive looking is my goal. And yes I would just be leveling the front...Unless you have a different idea?

And yes I would just be leveling the front...Unless you have a different idea? cool! 275/60r/20... okay check it! we'll do torsion keys to level the front, that way we dont "crank" your torsion bars and create a harsh bumpy ride. the keys will maintain a factory ride FTW! the big question is... do you really want to lift the front, or shal we lower the rear??? i think the agressive look that your lookin for will require lifting that bad boy for steering clearance...
