Lift options and ideas

Ok Ive had my Suburban for about three years as my winter driver, with the goal of lifting it. Ive been helping some friends with there trucks a K5's latley. Now im the only one without a lift LOL. But my real ? is what lift, a bolt on lift or custom lift like DIY 52's and a shakle flip kit for the back and maybe some 64" rear springs. I dont drive the truck alot but i would really like a family trail rig good road manners and good flex for trails. Im not big on mudding but Ive had some real fun runnin the woods and hilly trails with some friends. I know the Burb is big for a trail rig but it works for me. So lookin for tips and advice from some people who have done some mods. Thanks
Right now the Burb has 350, 400, 208, corp 10, SF14bolt, 4.10 gears, on 2009 wheels with 33" Nittos

Re: Lift options and ideas

I did all 4 leafs from Tuff Country with 35s on my '91. It's the easiest way to go,IMO and never felt I needed more flex. It's a Suburban after all. If I wanted ultimate off road performance I'd start with another vehicle.
