Suburban small "lift"

@socal k1500

Here are pics of CV axle on my Suburban. This is with about ~2" to ~2.5" lift via torsion bars on level ground.

The ride is tolerable, but it's not my daily driver either.

one thing i noticed is cv angles get a tad better with upper control arms that fix the geometry

Trying to figure something out. 99 suburban k1500. I want to "lift" it just a little. Got about 1 ¼ to 1 ½ of threads I can crank. Cv axles are fairly straight. No block on rear leafs. Was thinking of adding a 1.5-2 inch block but don't want to go so far I can't crank the front to match. Anyone have any experience or suggestions. Don't really want to go bigger than 2 inches just want it to sit a little better.

Have asked about a 3 inch lift before but didn't find anything that really answered this question. Also posted on the Facebook page

Did that with my old Tahoe put 2” lift blocks and cranked stock keys to level
