that they put together...and it consist of the following...HIGH BOYS FORNT THESE ARE ADJUSTABLE COILS OVER SHOCKS. THEY LIFT FROM 2-5". ON THE REAR WE HAVE SPRING SPACERS WITH SAME 2-5" ADJUSTMENT WITH SHOCKS SEPERATE. WE SELL A WHOLE KIT FOR $950.00 PLUS SHIPPING.

but i'am not sure if this will mess up my current suspension on my truck...

over @ www.custommotorsports.com

Adjustable coilovers would be great, but AIM, (aka Chassis Tech, Truckin Suspenion, Airbagit) has got the worst reputation in the aftermarket world. Endless horror stories of crap parts, and outrages re-stocking fees fill forums. I have emailed CustomMotorSports 3 times with no response. I am curios to know what they use. I would love to find a set of coilovers, I am going to check with Sway-A-Way and few other coilover manufacturers to see what they offer. I have contacted Fabtech (not planning on making a lift) Rancho (same answer as Fabtech), same with Superlift. I am going to try Skyjacker and Tuff Country, along with Pro Comp.

I hope someone will listen soon and develope some sort of lift other than a spacer.

so where do they consider lift from?

If anything i'll probably go with the 3'' lift from custom motorsports.
but i' am think i would be the same height if i where to buy a leveling kit to lift front end of the envoy..

what do you guys think?

It depends on how high you want to go and how large of tires you want to run. A leveling kit should clear you a 31 inch tire without to much hassle depending on your wheel choice and backspacing. I am looking to clear a 265/75 for my truck on a 16x8. I will begin to test fit and see what works after I decide on what lift I am going to use. Remember, if you go to high in the front without using a "drop bracket" style lift, you are increasing the angles on the suspension components, and could cause premature wear or breakage.

I am going for a level look, I would say around 1.5-2 inches. Nothing drastic. Like I said, I only want to clear around a 31. I am not a huge fan of the car like stance I have right now. I have been trying to find a reputable coilover manufacturer like Sway-A-Way for a product. I will keep you posted, and like wise if you decide and buy something... I have about 5 emails that I sent out this weekend to companies inquiring about lift products that I am waiting for a response on. I will see what happens and let you know.
