Pic Request - Lift with stock 265/65R18 Tires

[1967DropTop]

I just picked up a '08 Z71.
I like it alot but I really want to lift it, just a little. I'm looking at the 2.5" RC kit or possibly the 3.5" kit with the LCA.
She's got brand new tires so I'm not looking to replace them for a while.

Been searching the Lifts section and cannot find anything. The photobucket fiasco really screwed us out of alot of reference pics on all the auto forums.

So I'm looking for some examples of small lifts with stock size tires.
If you got any, please share.

This isn't exactly what you asked for, but here are my before and after pics using Bilstein 5100 front leveling shocks.  The Bilsteins have 4 different height settings with, I believe, a max 1.75" of front lift.  Mine are set at the notch one down from tallest, which is ~ 1.25" of front lift.

First pic has 17" wheels, and 2nd pic has 18s, but the tires are both the stock size and therefore the same diameter.

Thanks lunchwagon. That is another option that I had not considered.
Do you have the 5100s in the rear also?
How is the ride quality?

The ride quality is excellent.  Pretty much everywhere you look on the internet you'll find people love the Bilstein 5100s. 

I did replace the rear shocks also.  At 110,000 miles on the originals I was due for new shocks all around.  The rears are not height adjustable like the front, but I think they can work with a small 1-2" lift block.  Click the link below to see the post and pics from my install.

I have this pic saved on my laptop. I found it on this site and I added the text.  I can't find the original post to give credit. I hope OP is ok with this. I wanted to add it to the thread in case anyone else is interested.

Thanks for the link. Those look like quality shocks that could be reused if I decided to go with another lift down the road.

Did you have to have it realigned?

Did you have to have it realigned?

Yes. I actually bought a lifetime alignment service through my local shop, so I get the alignment done every time I rotate tires which is about every 5,000 miles.  Truck tires are too expensive to risk uneven wear.
