GetWithIt Posted March 8, 2008 Report Share Posted March 8, 2008 ............................ The SS is considered more of a "sport-truck" hence the AWD....not 4WD. I'm sure it could be done, but not with favorable results. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NTMD8R_SS Posted March 8, 2008 Report Share Posted March 8, 2008 Their should be a kit out their for it, but.............A Vmax probly should of been a better choice of vehicle. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
scooter3 Posted March 8, 2008 Report Share Posted March 8, 2008 You really don't want to do that do you? As stated before they are sport trucks. They are meant to go down not up. You might find it difficult to get components to raise the vehicle. Good luck with the search. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nighthawk2207 Posted March 8, 2008 Author Report Share Posted March 8, 2008 (edited) I Dont see how AWD an 4WD can be that big of a differnce its all the same stuff pretty much. I dont want to lower a Full size truck anymore than it already is. They would look better BIGGER an on some 38" tires Edited March 8, 2008 by J.R.

He is not flipping you off. He is just waving a no no finger at you. He is just stating that you will get a lot of responses as to why you would want to raise the truck. Everyone here is very helpful, they just have their own ideas as to what is cool or not. If you do find something and lift it be sure to post pics as most of us would really like to see it.

nighthawk2207 Posted March 8, 2008 Author Report Share Posted March 8, 2008 (edited) I couldnt tell if it was or not. An I'm hoping someone on here will help me out. Whats the difference between the 2WD, AWD system an the 4WD system that would prevent me from raising my truck. Since you can raise both the 2WD an 4WD I dont see how it would not be possible to Raise the AWD version. Edit: I tried sending that guy a pm but im not sure it went through, it didnt show up in my sent folder Edited March 8, 2008 by J.R.

Rays B4U Posted March 8, 2008 Report Share Posted March 8, 2008 I say go for it, my kid thinks I should lift mine. Who knows, it may look decent with a 4 in lift. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Whats the difference betweenthe 2WD, AWD system an the 4WD system that would prevent me from raising my truck. Since you can raise both the 2WD an 4WD I dont see how it would not be possible to Raise the AWD version. diference is awd is non switchable. the 4wd's will be slit 50/50 front to rear and the awd is split 32 to the front and 68 to the rear. there is nothing stopping you eny 4wd lift kit will work im not a huge fan of liting something , i like more long traveled stuff just becasue it can be used in an offroad way , while lifting your truck it can be taken offroad but not very agressivly . its you rtruck do what you like .

cwest94 Posted March 8, 2008 Report Share Posted March 8, 2008 I remember seeing pics on here somewhere of a SS that had a lift kit, sort of looked strange. When I bought my SS I parked it right next to my old Z71 and they were both about the same height, I always thought the 20 inch wheels made up the difference in ground clearence but I could be wrong (which I usually am).

00silverad0 Posted March 8, 2008 Report Share Posted March 8, 2008 J.R. I dont have a problem with you lifting it, it will be unique for sure but I was just stating that alot of members think the other way. Personally, I love lifted trucks and almost lifted my 00 silverado before I bought this. I personally would not lift a SS but then again, its not my vehicle. If you do decide to go through with it, post up some pictures, who knows..maybe you'll be the guy that starts the new trend. Anyways, best of luck to you if you decide to do it.
