Hey guys I'm new here. Happy to be here. I just picked up this Saab 97x with the 5.3. It's a beautiful ride.
Previous owner has some real nice goodies, magnaflow resonator, billstein 5100 w/ adjustable perches, z71 tahoe rear springs, hotchkis rear sway bar, i believe 265/75/18 toyo AT tires, and 1.5" wheel spacers.
This is my first "truck" and also the first time i've dealt with anything lifted. I've been thinking it over the last few days of something more "my style" and i am looking for some help achieving that...
My style is really "stock" but with subtle enhancements.
I think overall what would make this vehicle more suited to me would be
I think i need to know the following:
Sorry if this is confusing but please ask any questions at all!
Thx

My style is really "stock" but with subtle enhancements.
I think overall what would make this vehicle more suited to me would be
- getting rid of the wheel spacers
- being able to run the biggest or 2nd biggest tires without wheel spacers
- having an exhaust that sounds good but isn't louder than the engine
- running at a height that looks good, not really lifted, not low, but rugged.
I think i need to know the following:
- What are the largest tires you can put on this vehicle without wheel spacers
- How does the stock exhaust sound? Would removing the resonator still sound good but not overly loud
- At what "height" would I put the upper control arms back to their normal position?
Sorry if this is confusing but please ask any questions at all!
Thx
