When you lift your Tahoe let’s say 3 inches does that require you to have to get new shocks or are you able to keep the same shocks if they’re still good?
Factory shocks generally have roughly 2" inches of play before topping out. We recommend with a 3" or higher lift to use extended shocks or shock extenders.
Pending there are no worn-out components (bushings, joints, etc), you should have enough adjustment on the factory control arm to correct the alignment angles after installation & there should not be any interference issues with other suspension components after installation.
@Supreme Suspensions thank you for the speedy reply, I was torn between the 3/2 lift and the 2.5/1.5 but this helps. I'm wanting to eventually run 33x12.5x20 rims and tires so I wanted as much as I could safely go with it. One more thing please...when I go with the 3/2 lift will there be any interference problems with factory 18" z71 rims and factory height tires until I get the 20's bought?
Does the lift kit require popping the top ball joint? Or is this truck unusual in some way? Because the struts on these trucks usually come out easily without taking anything off.
Hello! Your video has been very helpful! What a about the rear lift kit, at the beginning of the video you said that you guys installed a 2'' rear lift kit, but did that Tahoe had auto-ride? Because I'm having a hard time trying to find a rear lift kit that works with auto-ride. Also, will the 2'' on the rear level it out with the 3.5'' on the front?
Hi there! The vehicle did not have auto ride, no. The problem with the auto ride is the sensor-- it tries to fight the lift keep the vehicle level. You can disable the autoride by pulling the fuse but its not recommended. The other option is that you will have to fabricate a proper-length autoride sensor stem (the metal piece you can find in the wheel well) OR lastly if you're really wanting to go the spacer lift route, you would need to swap out your rear auto-ride shocks for a regular set of rear shocks.
@@SupremesuspensionsLiftKits thank you for much for your reply. I don't want to sacrify the autoride suspension so I guess I'll have to find another safe way to lift the rear. If get the second option done what else would I have to do to lift the rear? Sorry to bather you so much.
No worries! If you decide to do the auto-ride sensor, you need to make sure you have a relocation bracket for any lines that run into the air-ride shocks since you may not have enough slack to leave current brackets in the same location. Other than that you should be good to go.
We have one in development actually, which we will be releasing soon. We do recommend diff drops for any lifts of 3"+. Many customers however, have not had any issues with their CV's, but driving /road conditions and use of vehicle will have a direct affect on this as well.
My tahoe has air ride which means it has the connector on top of the struts, after lifting it I don’t have enough room to plug the harness into the connector. Any advice?
The strut assembly should only be able to install one way, with no need to rotate the assembly. The spacers themselves are not specific to one side of the vehicle.
@@SupremesuspensionsLiftKits Im done now and it seems to be fine, yes its one way but the spacer forces you to twist the strut 120 degrees , when I rolled the strut on the floor the top was defiantly at an angle probably from being in one position for so long, oh well its done now !
We do not have a diff drop video on a Tahoe but we have one on the Silverado/Sierra's which should have a similar if not identical front diff drop down install.
I'm a 3 in front and rear 3 in back .... want to go to 3.5 in front spacer and keep 3in spacer in rear will it level it out have 22 on 35s tahoe z71 2007????
It depends on the heights of the front and rear of your vehicle. If you are already leveled, then your front would be hiked up. If the rear of your vehicle is half an inch higher, then yes, going with the 3.5" spacer in the front would level it out.
My 2004 tahoe 2wd has torsion keys can i replace them with upgraded ones to lift it 3inchs and i want to lift the rear 2inchs because i hate the ugly front lean on it and i want to fit 285/70/17 tires
You can use our keys to provide you UP TO 3" of total lift over factory setting. But if you already have your torsion keys cranked, you may gain between 1-1.5" over your factory max, but not 3" above your factory max. Torsion keys/bars have a limit (and your bump stops will also prevent them from going up any taller than 3" without modification). If you have not adjusted your torsion keys already, you can get a max of 3" of lift in the front. The rears are to your liking, and we make up to 3" of lift in the rear for your vehicle as well.
i ordered the 3.5 front and 3in. for the back because i got LT285/75R17 tires and they scrubbed the bottom of the fender and i bought the lift hoping it would fix my scrubbing issue. do you know if it will fix the problem of the tire scrubbing?
The largest tire we suggest for the 07 Yukon with a full lift is 33" with factory wheel spacing, and this might require some trimming. Your 285/75/17's are nearly 34" tires, so you might experience more rubing, or require additional trimming.
Depending on the condition of the suspension components in your vehicle prior to installing the lift you may or may not need to replace anything. With the vehicle being lowered it is most likely that the shocks are worn and will need replacing.
For 2019+ models we highly recommend aftermarket Uniball Upper Control Arms with front lifts higher than 2.5", the upper ball joint will wear out rapidly with the use of the stock Upper Control Arm. A diff/transfer case drop kit is not guaranteed necessary but may be needed if the CV Axle angles are out of factory spec.
The rear lift video for some reason got deleted, however if you check our install for the Silverado we have (ua-cam.com/video/RTYFFYiEUug/v-deo.html) , it would mirror the install of the rear block on a Tahoe.
No, not at all. You can use all of your factory components without needed to change anything out additionally. However,Upgrading your upper control arms to a tubular/adjustable set designed for lifts wouldn't be a bad idea if you're planning on going into the 3.5" lift realm. This is especially true if you have stamped steel upper control arms. Again, not necessary, but would be recommended to change them out if you want to max out your front suspension.
Our suggestions, which are at a comfortable level, say with a full lift you can fit 33's with the potential of needing to trim, but these numbers are using factory components, or at least factory backspacing. The tire sizing you have here is larger than 33". Rubbing issues could also stem from the backspacing of the rims. Also something to keep in mind, our kits do not work with the AirRide/Auto leveling air suspension, or the EXT models.
If you mean hitting full extension, it is a possibility, depending on how the vehicle will be used. The kit will install without any problem using your factory shocks, but depending on your driving conditions an upgrade to newer and/or longer shocks would definitely be a great quality of life upgrade.
For 3.5" lifts you can typically run up to a 35" tire, though wheel spacers or offset rims may help in case of any rubbing inside the fender well. This vehicle in particular was running a set 305/45/22's.
What about a rear video that’s mentioned. I can’t find it. Link?
I love that you stated the torque specs of each bolt.
Simple and to the point !!
Is there a link to the rear lift I can’t find it for some reason
Use a light next time to light to up your wheel well. It's hard to see what your doing
So why would the bolts need to be cut? Will that keep the nuts from being able to be installed or just because.
I am going to put a 3.5 inch lift in the front but do I need taller shocks
When you lift your Tahoe let’s say 3 inches does that require you to have to get new shocks or are you able to keep the same shocks if they’re still good?
Factory shocks generally have roughly 2" inches of play before topping out. We recommend with a 3" or higher lift to use extended shocks or shock extenders.
@SupremesuspensionsLiftKits what about front and rear sway bar links will they need to be longer
Yeah rear where can I find it?
The sway bar. You lifted the vehicle and it remains the same? No adjustable link to keep sway bar in stock position?
Planning on a 3" front 2" rear kit for my 2013 Z71 Tahoe, my question is will I have to change out my upper control arm for this kit?
Pending there are no worn-out components (bushings, joints, etc), you should have enough adjustment on the factory control arm to correct the alignment angles after installation & there should not be any interference issues with other suspension components after installation.

A 3" front/2" rear lift should be sufficient enough for a 33" tire, as well as clearance for the factory tire size.
@@SupremesuspensionsLiftKits thank you!
Does the lift kit require popping the top ball joint? Or is this truck unusual in some way? Because the struts on these trucks usually come out easily without taking anything off.
Nothing special with the ball joint, it is a fairly easy process wit this kit.

@Supreme Suspensions how many inches is that 3.5 coil spring spacer and how many is the one for the 3 inch coil spring spacer
Thank you!
No differential drop? Curious cause I have put a similar lift on my 2013 Tahoe and I'm worried about the angles.
We have one in development actually, which we will be releasing soon. We do recommend diff drops for any lifts of 3"+. Many customers however, have not had any issues with their CV's, but driving /road conditions and use of vehicle will have a direct affect on this as well.
Where is the video for the back lift kit for the Cadillac
Unfortunately, we do not have one at this time.
My tahoe has air ride which means it has the connector on top of the struts, after lifting it I don’t have enough room to plug the harness into the connector. Any advice?
Per our product listings descriptions, our lift components are not compatible with airbag/auto-ride suspensions for reasons such as this.
No reply for the rear install
I noticed there's a slight angle to the top of the strut can it be turned 180 ? is there a left and right spacer ?
The strut assembly should only be able to install one way, with no need to rotate the assembly. The spacers themselves are not specific to one side of the vehicle.
@@SupremesuspensionsLiftKits Im done now and it seems to be fine, yes its one way but the spacer forces you to twist the strut 120 degrees , when I rolled the strut on the floor the top was defiantly at an angle probably from being in one position for so long, oh well its done now !
Did you guys do a diff drop video on this generation Tahoe yet? I blew through 2 CV axles in 6 months
We do not have a diff drop video on a Tahoe but we have one on the Silverado/Sierra's which should have a similar if not identical front diff drop down install.
@BK ever figure out the CV axle issue? Just lifted mine and installed all new components. Blew both out in 2 days.

@@SupremesuspensionsLiftKits thanks
What about the rear lift
The same rules apply to the rear, although fewer parts may possibly need to be replaced. Most likely the shocks as mentioned before.

will this kit work on a 2007 cadillac escalade awd?
As long as it does not have air suspension, it should work fine.

@@SupremesuspensionsLiftKits I meant bottoming out on compression.
Typical of spacer lifts above the strut.
You shouldn't have any problems with bottoming out. But there is always the option to get extensions for the bump stops if you choose.
IS THS FRONT HIGHER THAN THE REAR ?
This lift kit is for the front only. But general lifts are higher in the front than the rear.
What size tire are you using with this kit?
For 3.5" lifts you can typically run up to a 35" tire, though wheel spacers or offset rims may help in case of any rubbing inside the fender well. This vehicle in particular was running a set 305/45/22's.
