Hey guys I picked up this 99 obs chevy tahoe a few months ago. I got a great deal on a super super clean tahoe! here are some things about it.
-44k original one owner miles
-5.7 liter motor with whipple supercharger
-fully loaded leather interior
-tinted windows
-front and rear full strobes installed
-Custom stereo and dvd headrest monitors

What I have done:
-front and rear performance brakes
-fluids, maintenance etc
-Full Borla exhaust with cats removed
-full debadge

Of course I tried the rims and low look and cant stand it lol. I have always been a lifted guy.

When first purchased:

Then I added a 2" block and rear and cranked the fron on 285s. It rides like shi*!

Long story short I think my next move is 6" suspension lift and 35' tires. I could do a body lift but not sure i like the look.

What do you guys think? Post some ideas. Thanks

First off, let me say you have every Tahoe owners wet dream. 1 owner? 44k original miles? SUPERCHARGED VORTEC??? WOW! THAT'S AWESOME!
As far as lifting it, you could stuff some 35s with a 3" body lift and crank. The size of the tires would hide most of the frame, so gaps wouldn't be much of a cosmetic issue. There are tons of options for suspension lifts that come in all sizes for these trucks. You could also get rid of the IFS and put a solid axle under neath the truck if you wheel it regularly. Just a few thoughts.

Personally, I like the way it looks. But going with a lift and decranking will ride better

I do not wheel it. It is basically a mall cruiser lol. I was thinking sfa but I have no experience with that and i have done many bolt on kits. Any pics of trucks with body lifts and 35s??? I was going to go with a 6" rough country lift and driveshaft for the auto trac simply because I am looking for a better ride.

I will try to get some engine pics tomorrow, they are on my other computer.
