Had Dealership do all installations in late January.
Post build thoughts 2 months in:

1.5 “ lift is hardly noticeable. (See before - garage open vs after garage closed pic). Scrapes on almost everything off-road. We definitely will need to get the bigger Nitto 305/45/22 fires. Hopefully that will help with looks and function. For comparison, our 08’ Burb has the “same 1.5” leveling kit” and it looks like it could literally eat the new Denali... the Yukon is significantly lower and smaller even after the lift. I guess that’s the price you pay for 25mpg Versus 12mpg!

Exhaust is too loud for my wife, and too quiet for me.. so it’s perfect! It could easily pass as “stock” for both Startup and Idle. On the gas however, it roars nicely. If you’re an enthusiast, and want it to sound like a Z06, then I’d defn go with the Corsa 14749 exhaust.

K&N Intake- this made a solid difference in engine sound. You can now hear the engine (in fact this is so loud you can’t hear the exhaust, unless windows are down.) This increased the average MPG’s... fwy went from 26 something to 28 something.

Subwoofer- EPIC. Very happy with this- just right amount of thump. Sounds like music does in good headphones in car now - with full range of tones.

Lloyds Mats- fit perfect. They look and feel much nicer than the flimsy cheap stock ones. The silver custom stitching I had done was a waste as it’s now stained. But the Silver edges look nice.

I got my Lloyds ultimate for the front only as for the 2 and rd row we have GM all weather liners.
I like them but I have an issue with the passenger side, it moves a bit forward. Any advices on how to get it stick a bit more to the floor?

I can see why the sub got such ****** mileage...ft end jacked up like that killed what little aero it had...the higher you get the ft catches and traps more air
