Hi all, New here and have a few questions. I have myself a 2002 GMC Envoy SLE. shes got 4.2l I6. 245/65/17. all stock.
If you look at my image, I already took her mudding :flex dirty: a few times. did great for stock.

I am looking to get a lift(3" front, 2.5" rear), Struts and Shocks, tires/wheels (anywhere from 30s to 34s)Would I need bigger lift for those size tires?

What would I need to complete my new offroader?, any suggestions would be appreciated!

**Also I have GU6 3.42 gear ratio. would that be fine offroading with lets say 33s?***(offroading around where I live is, mud(thick to light), mud puddles, no rock climbing where I'm at)***

Thanks again and I will keep you updated!

Our first suggestion would be to do some reading. There are stickies and articles and many threads highlighting all the questions you are asking. My signature has a link to get you started.
