Anyone have a truck with a lift kit? Going for SUV to Truck?
 

I have a 2005 Tahoe Z71 in good condition. Has a year left of full warranty (bought extended from dealer) and have someone who made me a good offer on it.

Since I bought it, I've been putting it to good use, but found myself asking to borrow my friends truck (F250) a few times to get things, like a snow blower, lawn mower, etc. I have an "every day car" that my gf will mainly drive and we use the Tahoe for picking stuff up, football tail gating, etc.

I'm considering buying a truck (crew cab), specifically one with a lift kit. First because I think it looks nice and 2nd I want people to say "oh shit, watch out for this asshole" :1orglaugh

Im in between a truck or getting a larger SUV with 3rd row seats. I don't have a 3rd row now, my Tahoe only has 2 because of the sport package. I'm considering an Yukon XL or Escalade ESV. However, thinking of plans in the future, a truck might be better as I am working on redoing a lot of my property with landscaping and renting a lot of equipment to tear up my lawn.

Anyone made the switch from SUV to truck and happy? Likewise, is it better to buy a "regular" truck and lift it myself or buy one already with the kit?

If you're going to do it, I suggest you get a 3/4 ton +. Also familiarize yourself with whatever lift you want/need. If you buy used know what lift was used and ask who installed it.

For years I had a Suburban. The third seat was hard to access and a part of the vehicle I never used. I got a 2500HD and love it. The backseat isn't as comfortable but I never sit there so who cares. The ability to transport lawn stuff, like gas cans, is much easier. I like the truck better.

I'm pretty much sold on the truck.

Ive been looking at either the GMC 2500HD or the Ford F250. I like the inside of the Ford, my friend has one and its a pretty nice ride. I'm going to test drive a few later this week and see what I like.

Had a friend recommend a Nissan Titan, so might try that out too

My brother has a Ford F250 and it's pretty nice too. Look into the diesel, real trucks don't have spark plugs.

If you've got $50k+ to spend, get a crew cab SVT Raptor and you wont need a lift kit, it comes with all the good shit from the factory.

I absolutely love my Raptor.
