So, I bought my wife a 2008 Tahoe LT - 2WD. Bless her heart, she wants it lifted with 35 inch tires underneath. My interesting problem, after speaking to a few tech/installers, is if I go with a 6" lift, I need to have the driveshaft extended to prevent it from leaking. Has anyone heard of this? I was planning on going with the pro-comp lift and even called them. They were unaware of this issue. However, they said one of their employees just installed this lift on their 08 2wd and noticed that it started to leak when parked in his driveway or on a slant/hill. I don't know about you, but that worries me. Anyone care to share their thoughts on this?

I highly doubt you'll need 6" of lift to clear 35" tires, I do know that a Leveling kit on these Ho's which raises the front about 2" will clear 33" tires easily, but there isn't really much of an option to go inbetween the two but I'l leave that to people that hav lifted Tahoe's on here to help you wth.
Check out www.4wheelonline.com under Suspension Lift Kits for some good Lift or Level kits, just don't go with Pro Comp because I've been hearing some sh*t about them thats not to good. Fabtech, Rancho and Skyjacker are som options and good brands.

I like the look of your truck, but I always thought it was a 4wd. Isn't the height/clearances different on 2wd vs 4wd?
Ok, I will move Pro-Comp to the bottom of the list. I had Pro-comp on my crew-cab, and didn't have any problems - other than going thru tie-rods. Hopefully some other members will post some feedback on their pro-comp experiences - good or bad. I will check out the web site for more info.
Thank you both for your input - I really appreciate it!:thumbsup:
My truck is a 4WD
Yes I do but I was clearing 35's before the leveling kit. I wanted to go for the nose up look.
I keep finding myself going back to the pro-comp lift. What bad things have you ( or anyone else for that matter ) heard? Is it more with the people installing the lift or the lift itself is bad?
Its just alot of crap I've heard about them, mainly due to 4Wheel Parts, akes me not wan their products, plus someone on this forum warned against their lifts a couple of week back, I'd say go with Rancho, Skyjacker or Superlift if you're lookoing for a lift and not a level.
