Alrighty so in the past couple months i have turned my stock boring tb into a decent offroad truck and ive done a lot of reading but couldnt seem to find a definitive answer. as of now i have bds lift with 88's and z71s and my first question is can i pair marks 3in lift with the 88's? and can you stack rear lifts, bds on top, marks on the bottom with z71's?

just tryin to see whats possible and not possible. Thanks :flex dirty:

Yes you can pair the 88s with marks 3in lift. And I think you can stack the rear lifts.

Might be better off running Skyjacker springs in the rear, just my opinion though

I agree, what are you reasons for wanting to get max lift in the rear? When you can only go so high in the front?

yeah there's been guys that have done spacers at the top and bottom in the rear. Is it worth it? Meh, that's awfully subjective.

Hell you can run 89s and 3" spacers if you want up front, it's puts you decently high... I've ran that way for a couple years.


I can tell you right now that it looks borderline odd with 32s and that much lift, the 30.5 and that much lift would look ridiculous.

If you dig around a bit, fishsticks (Donny) was saying 89s with the top spacer and a 3" body lift clears 35s.

I was thinking if i keep it the way it is now and do the zone body lift i could do 33's and it should look ok... i think lol

Im actually trying to go with the look you have rims and tire wise, steelies with 285/75/16 grabber at2's, and from what i read if i do a body lift i should be ok to clear. obviously i need to do some trimming and all that

Marks 3"+ 88's in the front and Skyjacker CR25's in the rear. No body lift needed :poke:

Yea a body lift should be fine. I didnt do to much trimming with a 2inch zone body lift and the envoy has smaller wheel wells to begin with.

sweet, i got my current tires for free so im gonna ride them til they need to be change then upgrade. They hold their own mudding, on the beach and in the snow so ill be good for now.

Is there any differences, benefit wise, between doing the body lift over the 3in & skyjacker springs, to fit 33's? as far as for a DD
