Mitchell, that's a handsome truck and a great choice of parts, looks great!

Was that the one for sale by King in Arkansas? I wanted Victory Red but kept finding them in 2WD.

Thanks!

This is also a 2wd, oh well, 2wd meets our needs just fine. I picked it up in South Carolina. Quit the trip from Texas but it was worth it!

Nice! You can gain a lot of tire clearance at the bumper by trimming the support like this and reshaping the liner

Awesome! I worked on that today!

Also did the nor cal large fender mod behind the wheels. Now I need to cut the tip off my new Nfab steps. I stuffed these wheel wells! Gonna be worth it in the end though cause it looks right!!!

Got the tires to clear!!! Trimmed, cut, bent, and tied back everything I could and its got plenty of room now!

Front fender height is 40 and 5/8 inches
Rear fender height is 41 and 1/2 inches.

I been working on it most of the week but now it's done and it's done right! So happy!

I'll post some trimming pictures a little later

Been near a year. How are the tires and mods to the Yukon XL holding up? @Impalenthelen
