Diesel Tahoe
In years past, you could get Tahoes and Suburbans with diesel engines. Does anyone know, are they still available?

My understanding is that you only need about two inches of lift to get the body to clear the Allison trans. If you look at my crude photo below, comparing the Duraburb to my Burb, you can clearly see that the body is sitting a few inches higher above the front wheel. Perhaps that's all they need to clear the transmission.
I researched DuraBurb thoroughly, and almost pulled the trigger. The dealbreaker for me was the loss of payload. At the time, they weren't offering the brake upgrade to increase payload.
