Looks sick I have an 08 tahoe n wanted to get a 6in lift on some 33s or 35s but I like more tire so I might just keep my stock 17 in rims on it or get some 15s but love the tahoe man looks clean🤤

[@leslieandresrendon7672]

Thanks!

[@OMGBlare]

One thing I can say on this is instead of those spacers get the N3 lifted shocks if you have the 7.5 lift it looks a lot better and rides better doesn’t affect the height after you install them it takes place of this strut spacers !

[@leslieandresrendon7672]

Yeah that’s what I’m definitely going to do. Everything is just so backed up that it takes longer to get parts

[@MEMPHIS9ETHER]

Nice bro planning to do the same

How’s the ride quality on this? I’m thinking about going with this 7.5 inch rough Country on mine, but I hear bad results on forums

The only thing bad is that it don't come with the rear trailing arm drop bracket other then that it's good

What you got in the rear? I have a 2007 Avalanche with a 7.5 RCX lift as well but my back sits like at 5”

[@corycarlile4471]

I just lifted my Tahoe with the same lift and I'm about to get some 22x12 35x12.50x22 put on, I was just curious as to how much they had to trim in the front. Was it the bumper and the running boards or did they have to trim some off the body above the running boards too?

[@leslieandresrendon7672]

with 35s it rubs at full turn next set will probably be 33s but yeah front bumper needs some trimming and fenders will need norcal trimming you can look it up on Google it shows you pictures on how to do it i did it my self and yes you have to trim the running board a lil

[@corycarlile4471]

leslie andres rendon awesome man that's exactly what I was wanting to know! I'll look it up! I appreciate it brother!

You went so high in the back you should extend your rear upper and lower arms so it gets your tires back a little

i removed the spacer from the rear

Hey man! I have an 07 Tahoe and just bought some 35x12.5x20 mud tires with -44 offset moto metal wheels and I’m about to purchase the 7.5 in RC lift. With my wheels being a -44 offset, will my tires rub enough to where I’m gonna have to trim them? I’ve been wanting to do this for a while and just want to know every precaution before I go into it. Would love if you responded!

[@leslieandresrendon7672]

you are going to have to (norcal) the bottom of the fender there's step by step on Google on how to do it and trim the inside of the front bumper just don't cut the mud grad that's on the inside so when you trim it you can push it back and put some zip ties at the bottom and you will have trim your running board if you have one
