Default Been doing a little work on the Hoe

Added a little lift. It has a total of about 5 inches now. Running 33's. It's about time for some new tires going to try out the cooper at3s next I think.





Pics really don't do it justice I gotta hop to get up in it now. These truck ahold have come this way from the factory.

3" body lift Bradford. Im not a fan of BLs but this suited my needs. I just wanted to clear the tires with room for flex offroad when hunting. I wanted to just go ahead with a 6" suspension but $$ being as tight as it is this will be fine. I dont hard core offroad anymore just needed a little more clearance for hunting. i also have 3" blocks on the rear and the torsion bars are cranked slightly. Needed the rear blocks for the saggy springs and big tool box I have in the rear.

Shoot I didn't pay for those STTs (and wouldn't) they came on the wheels when I bought them. Going to go with some cooper AT3s more than likely. I ain't paying what they want for those fancy tires...they're rediculous enough as it is.

I was expecting pics of a prostitute with a new boob job from the title.

Nice looking Tahoe...have you changed gear ratios for the larger diameter tires?

No RM I havent. I really want to run 315s (35") but will not without changing them. Id like to go to 4.56s one day but right now the 33's arent that bad. A little more shifting on hilly rides to the hunting camp that I care for but its pretty flat where I live and drive 90% of the time.


Have you ever changed gears front and rear in one? Looking at Yukon Gears it looks like I can do it for around 6-800 parts. Installing myself of course.

If you want it quiet, stick with AAM. I have done them(did the ones in my BURB). Setting up the front IFS is a PITA! IMHO. 10 bolts aren't to bad to do, been awhile since I did one.
