SFA swap
Ok, here it is. My husband, The Chevy Guy, has a 98 tahoe with IFS, which completely sucks, is toying with the idea of doing a sfa swap...

I don't know enough about this to know if he is getting in over his head, and he won't listen to me & just buy the Excursion.
Any ideas? Advice??

Trust me, that has been said, yelled, screamed plenty of times at my house, but now that he has me hooked into off roading with the trucks, I can't yell at him any more because I am just as bad. I figure in all honesty, if we can do the switch, then the truck is worth keeping. It is almost paid off, and I want to get rid of payments. Oh yeah, did I mention I want to put a diesel engine into it too.

There is a kit available for that, but it may give more lift than you're after- iirc, it was in the 8-9" range. A recent issue of Peterson's 4x4 had an article on a 90's Suburban that a guy dropped a cummins diesel into, and looked pretty nice.

The lift I don't mind because trust me, once it is paid for, I am going to wheel the snot out of it & then I CAN put those 35's under it 
. I just want it to be reliable to get the kids around. Yes, a Cummins.....
