I'm looking for the best 1.5-3 in lift for my 08 suburban lt3 4x4. I'm thinking about the truxxx but not sure how it will affect the autoride suspension. I don't want the shocks to constantly top out so i'm not sure that is the best way. I'm also looking to keep the ride somewhat stock. Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks

I run the CCM Offroad leveling kit on a number of clients trucks...they offer a 2" and a 2.5" spacer...they are very high quality, though a bit tougher to install since it goes on top of the strut..they have no affect on the ride at all...also depending on your budget you could go with replacement coilovers made by Icon(used to be Donahoe) or King shocks makes a fully adjustable coilover 1"-3" of lift and also has rear shocks to go with it...

I used the Truxx 2.5" leveling kit up front and Suspension MaXX 1" coil spacer out back. The is let me fit 33" tires. Really happy with the set-up and rides like stock.

The front wheel wells required minor trimming.....nothing major. The Truxxx kit comes with alignment specifications. 4 Wheel Parts did the install, trimming and alignment. Very happy with their work and the lift.

if you want to keep a stock ride go with the ccm kit or a similar kit that bolts on top of the strut so it doesnt stiffen the springs.
