i'm interested in what you think it would take to comfortably fit a larger tyre such as the 255/55 on adventra or avalanche. i'm thinking 50mm lift or so is doable. coilover front suspension would be necessary for tyre clearance from memory when i was looking at it on my avalanche. what else could be done to help make these awd's more capable off the bitumen?
also, before anyone pipes in, i know they'll never compare to a 4x4 like the patrol or landcruiser etc, but i think if you're not into too much hardcore stuff, they could serve their purpose. i for one miss the comfort and power of the avalanche ALOT. but the capability of the patrol is undeniable. it will get me just about anywhere...
