I recently posted about getting new tires for my wifes 2012 Yukon, and just as I'm getting ready to order, she blurts out, you know I want a air intake, and oh yeah a small lift wouldn't be bad either. So that brings me back to the drawing board somewhat.
I figure I'll just increase the tire size and stick with what I was going to purchase before.
Will a leveling kit be enough to suit me needs? Are they all created equal ? If not what should I look for? Should I consider a different option?
With a leveling kit I can fit 33s. I'm wondering if this will be enough for our new needs of this rig. Needs are mostly pavement, gravel roads, probably forest roads. Nothing to technical. Also the tires will be a close to flush or tucked in as possible, she doesn't want anything sticking out,(doesn't want dirt and rocks flying up chipping the side of her car) or if they do as little as possible. So I think a big lift with tucked tires might look a little off. Ideally we are looking to make a trip out west to visit my brother in Salt Lake City. So heading out to MOAB, maybe some BLM land and trails. Again nothing fancy. With any luck that build will begin next year after we buy a house.
I'm thinking this would be sufficient and cost effective allowing funds to go to other places like a fridge, camping supplies, travel, etc.
Thanks in advance.
