Hi everyone, I've done some snooping around on the forum and finally decided to join the ranks. Back in January I was given a 1999 C1500 2WD Suburban its in pretty good condition for coming up on 420,000 miles. However, everything I have ever owned has been 4X4, so this wagon just feels so low for how big it is! I am wanting to get some 33x12.50's to put on it but what would I need in order to clear them?

Thats what I would say to. But what I'm wondering is how much lift I need. I have found a 4" spindle lift for right under $500, but then there are the leveling kits for way cheaper. They recomend 31x10.50 with the leveling kit, but from past expierences I know most of the time there is room to go bigger.
