91 Suburban 4wd - Lift it or leave it alone? - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

I sometimes like my stock look with the hub caps and then sometimes I think I should do a small lift with 17" rims and 33" or 35" tires. What do you all think? Any pictures that would show them lifted would be cool. Thanks

Leave it.

I think it would look great with a 2" block in the rear to level it, and some rally wheels on 33" BFG's. It's already pretty cool though!

do you really need to ask? it's a 4by, crank that sucker up!, 2-4 inches would be perfect

If it were mine, I'd put a zero rate or add-a-leaf in the rear to give it some positive rake, throw some taller/skinny tires on it, and run it.

Add a leaf or block in rear and better wheel tire combo. Sits good like it is, to me lifting is an age specific question. I think young dude when i see a lifted truck. Keep it classy.

^^ well, i hope thats what people think when they see this old fart tooling down the road in my lifted crew!

It's also what you use it for. A stock burban couldnt make it to my cabin in the sierra nevadas. I need mine lifted. I also use my suburban like a truck. Its the best trailer puller, firewood getter, family hauler, and recreational vehicle you could own. If you drive on the street leave it stock if you like the lifted look lift it, however please don't judge something by what it looks like. In the end its all up to you do what makes you happy. Me personally 2wd lowered, 4wd lifted and im 40. Lol

Thanks to all. I think I am going to drive it this way until the tires wear out. This will give me time to decide on what wheel, to many choices. Will post it up once its done.
