I am planning to do a lift on my Envoy here pretty soon, as she needs new tires, might as well lift it and put offroad tires on it.
Ive decided to go with the Liftmeister 2.5" lift kit. Now before everyone says "go with the 3" kit" I will say ive decided that the 2.5" kit will be fine for me. Down here in South Texas 4x4s see mosly sand and mud, i wont be rock climbing or going through many trails that would require more clearance.
NOW, my question is, do I NEED to replace shocks if I stick with the 2.5" kit? Also, i was changing the oil this past weekend and noticed the shocks on my Envoy are Bilsteins, are these OEM?
Also, with the 2.5" lift and spacers, I should be able to run 265/70/17s just fine correct?
Thanks in advance, any help will be greatly appreciated.
