    beef up 2001 tahoe suspension

    I just realized non of this is an option for me. I have a 4x4 with auto ride. I just bought keys, spacers, front shock extenders, and z71 rear coils.

    Lifting Autoride Tahoe with shocks

    I bought 1.5" spacers and 1-3" keys for my auto ride. Will I need two sets of shock extenders, (i.e. front and rear??)

    Keys + Spacers + Bilsteins = Lift with good ride?

    I'm about to pull the trigger on all my parts right now on amazon, but first, I just wanted to make sure I'm getting the right shocks. I'm getting the Bilstein (24-186643) 5100 Series Shock Absorber (for fronts) & Bilstein 24-187237 Rear Shock for GM Tahoe/Avalanche (rears, duh)...

    LED light bar in the front valence?

    That will look awesome. Love the grill. You might consider getting a double row 30" bar. If you want, (I've seen it on a few radical prerunners in SoCal) you can buy amber covers that clip on to the bar. You don't have to pay extra for amber LEDs, you can pattern the white/amber however you like...

    beef up 2001 tahoe suspension

    I'm planning on doing 1-3" keys cranked to 2". and 2" rear spacers and then taking out the autorides (dead anyway) and putting bilstein 5100's all the way around? is this a good way to get clearance for some 33s while keeping a nice ride? I can get all the bilsteins for ~$300 and the keys and...

    Keys + Spacers + Bilsteins = Lift with good ride?

    How's the ride quality?

    Keys + Spacers + Bilsteins = Lift with good ride?

    If I bought 3" keys (or just cranked the factory keys) and got spacers for the rear and then replaced the front shocks with bilsteins, and then got an alignment, what would be the downsides to this? would my wheel bearings still wear out? would my ride suck? anyone done this to their ride?

    285/70/r17 fit on 2001 LT Tahoe?

    Mine is an LT so it might not have quite as much space as a Z71, but I can probably get the higher offset and crank the keys just a tad.

    LED light bar in the front valence?

    Mounting options might get a little tricky. The bar behind my grill has the sliding adjustable mounts on the bottom which made it very easy to mount. The traditional side mounts might be a little trickier but I'm sure it still would be relatively simple.

    LED light bar in the front valence?

    Go for behind the grill. Its perfect for flashing those special assholes on the road that cut you off. If you mount it on the upper part of the radiator mount, it shines right through peoples rear windshields on most sedans.

    Update on my Yukon, added 37s.

    More info on your BL? Do you have any side view pics? I want to do a BL but I don't want to see a bunch of frame hanging out or bumper gaps

    Trimming wheel wells

    Has anyone done any trimming in the front wheel wells to fit bigger tires and eliminate rubbing? I might need to do this and I'm not sure what to remove? Is it just the black plastic inside the well? Thanks

    Nice thanks. I really don't want to be stuck with 265s

    LED light bar in the front valence?

    You could try putting a 20 or 30 behind the grill? I've found that the higher the mounting position, the better flood you get

    285/70/r17 fit on 2001 LT Tahoe?

    Nice. Thanks for the help. I think I'm gonna tell the guys at the shop to tork the keys a little and I'll try to do some trimming before hand

    285/70/r17 fit on 2001 LT Tahoe?

    Thanks. Thats what I was thinking. I'd like to not have to crank the keys a lot if I can so I can preserve my ride and front suspension travel. Trimming would be a good option, except I'm not sure what I would be trimming and how much of it I'd need to do

    Pretty new here. I've created a Tahoe page on Reditt for those intereseted

    I'm pretty new to the forums, but I've been wasting time on Reddit for a couple years now. I finally made a subreddit dedicated to Tahoes/Yukons (GM SUV's). If you are on Reddit, drop by and subscribe and contribute! www.reddit.com/r/ChevyTahoe

    285/70/r17 fit on 2001 LT Tahoe?

    I believe the ones I was looking at were classified as Medium offset. I looked on the manufactures webpage and they offer 3 options of that wheel with my bolt pattern. +0, +18, +30, so I'm guessing medium means +18 in offset.

    285/70/r17 fit on 2001 LT Tahoe?

    Im getting a set of 17x9 wheels and some toyo MT's to wrap them in. The guy at the tire store said on the phone that 265/70/r17 would fit safer with no rubbing. The issue is I don't want to put skinnier tires on wider wheels. (275/70/r20) especially since my current AT's are wider. I really...

    Wheel spacers

    Hey man, I was wondering where you got your front bumper and light bar or if it is a custom build?

    Mounting a Roof Basket

    There are some metal flanges attached to the radiator mounts at approximately the position of the light bar. The mounts on the light bar are adjustable laterally and can swivel 180° to adjust the angle. I just slid the mounts to match the width of the radiator mounts and angled them pointing...

    Mounting a Roof Basket

    I may end up trying to make some of my own at some point depending on how my rack comes out. If I don't like the look or fitment I might see if I can find a way to make some custom brackets. If that is the case I can dig up this thread and PM you. Keep in mind I have an 01 tahoe and my existing...
