That truck looks exactly what I want. That is just 1.5 inch in the front with no rear lift? I know about the tires, 18's are still expensive but 20's are ridiculous.

What kit did you use? how is the ride? Also I have been told that I should go with a load C or D tire as a load E will make the ride rough.....you have any advice on that?

I know ready lift makes a 1.5 inch,,,its $330

Correct.

I want to say it's made by Pro Comp. As far as I understand they're all basically the same. Mine was expensive because I live in Shreveport and there are only 3 shops that carry lift/leveling kits and they're all high priced. I paid $350 for the kit and installation and had it aligned elsewhere.

There were very few tire choices for my size; I went back and forth between the BFG and the Cooper Zeon LTZ which was a lot cheaper. I went BFG because I've had them on all my trucks and they last a long time. I had E rated 305/65R18's on my F-150 and they were fine on there, but that's a lot more heavy duty than a Tahoe. I'm sure there are good D rated choices in whatever size you choose.
