    '99 OBS Tahoe - lift choice

    Agreed - I think the knuckle lifts look a little weird. Not bad if it's a mud truck, but i'd like this thing to still look good everywhere I take it. I heard the RCX kept the alignment pretty solid for guys that wheel pretty hard...but I've definitely heard of a few others that were a...

    Any chance you have those measurements available on your truck? Unfortunately I don't know anyone local with a NBS and if you have them or wouldn't mind taking a few quick measurements, I would be huge for me! I've also checked local retailers to see if anyone has the LR 100 in stock so I...

    14bsf - Which Locker?

    Thank you guys for all the advice - 4dr Tahoe What is a "lunch box" locker? I keep seeing the term, but I wasn't sure what everyone was referring to... With the Tru Trac I've spoken to a bunch of full size guys that love them b/c if you have a tire in the air, slight brake pressure will...

    '99 OBS Tahoe - lift choice

    unfortunately i don't know of a single fab shop that can do that kind of work in the tri state area...also.my front dif is a np246 so I may scrap the HD CV's b/c I know the CV's won't break, which means the tcase is now the weak pt. Knowing that, I unfortunately will have to stick to OEM CV's...

    14bsf - Which Locker?

    This is for my '99 Tahoe which spends most of it's life on the highway...however, it is going on a 6month expo throughout the US. I'm swapping in a 14bsf and was between the Tru-Trac and full Detroit...ARB seems to be too problem prone for me. What do you guys think??

    TahoeMD - that ARB bumper of yours, is it: 3413090 or 3413190?? I looked through the ARB site and can't find 3413090, but did find 3413190 even though i'm OBS, i have a feeling it would mount up with similar mods that you completed...any ideas??

    '99 OBS Tahoe - lift choice

    Ryan - thank you for serving!! In my write-up, I'm also going include part numbers so all you'll have to do is order, then install. Once you know how to do it, it's a piece of cake (relatively). I'll try to include as much as I can in the write-up so it's a pretty easy plug&play for you. On...

    '99 OBS Tahoe - lift choice

    Thanks 1leg...man this community is small :) Ryan - all of us Tahoe guys have that crappy spongy brake feel so i know where you're coming from. There are a few options out there (i.e. aftermarket master cylinder) that will cure the brake feel and provide marginal stopping distance at a fairly...

    '99 OBS Tahoe - lift choice

    I'm building a website and once I'm done, everything will be linked to vendors, photos, reasoning etc....but it's about 2months away from being completed. i'll be doing a bunch of writeups on this forum and a few others as well that you may find interesting. If you search those items against...

    '99 OBS Tahoe - lift choice

    Any recommendations on lifts? Is it better to simply do a 3" body lift? I know I'd loose clearance vs suspension lift, but then I don't have to worry as much with the IFS breaking....

    '99 OBS Tahoe - lift choice

    yeah, i've been contemplating 4.10's but was worried about the mpg going down too much....plus I'd need to buy gears for the front and rear.

    '99 OBS Tahoe - lift choice

    I'm currently in the midst of building my expedition rig, a '99 4dr 4x4 OBS Tahoe in great condition. I've done tons of research on IFS v SAS and i'm sticking with IFS! I believe with the right parts and most importantly, careful driving...i can make this truck into an awesome overlander...

    My favorite Tahoe!! With you running cranked keys for over a year now, how is the suspension holding up? Have you had to crank the keys up due to the front sagging over time? How about the CV's, any issues? Thanks, I love your rig!

    95 2 Door Tahoe SAS project

    Alex, A few questions: Which ARB bumper did you go with? (doesn't look like their Chevy model) What is your overall lift height with that setup? Don't laugh at this question, but what is your mpg on the highway? Where did you find a brake pedal for that hydro setup? Great build man, incredible!!
