    Leveling Kits!

    i went with a 3"/2" and couldn't be happier! Front was a motofab 2.5" upper spacer and a 1/4" ebay aluminum lower spacer (1/2" lift) Rear was an ebay billet aluminum 2" spring spacer. Im probably going to look into some aftermarker upper control arms in the near future though. Anything over 2...

    Let's see some pics of some lifted and leveled

    I ran 1/4 spacers just fine. Plenty of lug. Wasn't quite enough to clear the 305s from the sway bar though, I would suggest hubcentric spacers though for safety.

    New Fosgate 10" sub Custom enclosuer

    VERY Nice... Ive been thinking of fiberglassing a box into that area. The stacking part could be used for the curve and then just flat boards for the top, back and bottom to save on cost. Fiberglass the side near the car to get all of the contours. I used a similar method in my Dodge Ram:

    Lifted / Leveled 2013 Build Thread

    I can try to get a picture of the radio bezel, I pulled everything else off, I felt the metallic silver net to the OEM gunmetal color by the air vents clashed a little. I am going to re-wrap in a gloss black. I can get some pictures up of that when I get it done.

    305/55R20 pics???

    Just be careful, anything less than 2" on top of the strut will need the bolts trimmed shorter to the thickness of the spacer.

    305/55R20 pics???

    2.5" motofab spacers above strut and a .5" spacer below strut. and 2" spring spacers in the rear. 2.5 in the front is really ma, I pushed it another 1/2 inch and will need aftermarket Upper Control Arms soon.

    No big updates yet. I am looking at colormatching the mirrors soon, and possibly some LED lighting (Either a 50" lightbar above the windshield or some cubes in the bumper)

    Newbie Here! Blacked out Grille and lift gate emblems.

    If you're doing just the bowtie emblem, It's simple, Just like putting a sticker on, then trimming around the edge with a razor blade. If you're wanting to wrap the entire grille, that's a different story. Plasti-dip is easy, but I too, didn't want the flat black, so I went with gloss black...

    Newbie Here! Blacked out Grille and lift gate emblems.

    Vinyl wrap is easy and cheap, and can be changed out if you decide to go a different route. You can pick up some 12"x12" sample pieces for next to nothing on ebay.

    CCM leveled with 275s on 20s

    I am loving my Cooper Zeons. (305/55r20) Ride great, quiet and seem to be wearing well. Not quite as aggressive of a sidewall as I would have liked though, Kinda wish I went with the Toyo AT2 in that matter. But I grabbed them on a buy 3 get 1 free sale, couldn't pass it up.

    Nitto Terra Grapplers?

    I've had them on a different truck. I Loved 'em! Weren't noisy at all (for an A/T tire) wore well and had great traction in the rain. I ran a 325/65r18. Not sure about the new G2's though, should be similar, maybe even better!

    Let's see some pics of some lifted and leveled

    It is a bit taller in the rear (1"), I think a perfectly level Tahoe actually looks like it's leaning back a bit, just the design. The angle is a little exaggerated in the picture, it really looks level in person. And as soon as I throw my wife, kid and gear in the back, it'll sit nice and...

    Where to put my sub?

    I have been thinking of a way to build a small box within the rear quarter panel. Relocate the jack and spare tire tools. Much like they came stock in the older models.

    And some pictures of the trimming and clearance. I still have some cleaning up to do on the cuts. They look far worse in these pictures than in person. Front: Rear:

    Lifted / Leveled 2013 Build Thread

    Yes, I got a killer deal on the 305s so i went for it. The only angles that may become an issue are the upper ball joints. I am sure down the road I will have to invest in a new set of UCA made for a lift.

    Anyone know what setup this Tahoe is running?

    I would have to assume that it has some sort of airbag setup that raises the vehicle to driving height? That's a mean look aired down like that though! Definitely a head turner in the parking lot

    Lifted / Leveled 2013 Build Thread

    Thanks for your advise...as you can see, I didn't use it all. lol. I'll get pictures of the angles. It aligned just fine and drives great! I went with the seperate spacers, in case the angles were awful with the 3", I could take out the lower 1/2" and maintain the reccommended 2.5" spacer. But...
