New Envoy owner with a few ?'s

[mbmb65]

Hello all! I recently purchased a 2005 Envoy. My question is concerning a lift, or rather if I even need a lift. This truck is a daily driver/kid hauler/family sled. I don't off road, but we're an outdoorsy family and often travel roughish Forest Service roads, gravel roads, and in snow. Lots of snow. Can this vehicle handle this w/o a lift? I'd just assume leave it oem if I don't need a lift or larger tires. In stock format, do I have enough clearance? Thanks good people. Loving this forum so far! Some smart folks with great advise here!

I would lean toward yes, you'll be fine.

Welcome to GMTN! Best forum you could've came to.

You have 8" of ground clearance. Will handle this washed out road without a lift. Be smart and do not drive in the deep ruts. Straddle them.

Thanks folks. I think I'll just add a slightly taller AT tire then. I just did the typical exhaust mod and shopping for a CAI. I'll replace the shocks/struts as well. Plugs etc... Thanks again.
