It has the NNBS/TBSS intake and 87mm TB . Tricks a lot of people some people assume it's a V6 because the engine cover looks different than what they are used to.
They didn't make a V6 tahoe/Yukon in our body style I don't think

That is a good point never even thought of that. A couple months ago I left the Tahoe at the airport for a few days and came back to a completely dead battery. The airport sent their maintenance guy out to jump me and when I popped the hood he said "Whats in that thing a little V6?" I was offended. Before that shortly after I got it my neighbor who drives a GMT-800 pickup came over while I was working on it and commented about it being a V6 because he had never seen that cover on that year truck before.

Guess people just don't know what they're talking about or how to count header tubes.

Tony@norcalss hooked me up with some bags, spindles and bumps for the free travel mod. It's nice to be able to just message someone tell them what you want and boom its ordered and exactly what you need.

Bags came in yesterday not sure if I want to get an auto level system or just run it all to QD and fill from a compressor. If I do that I need to get a 12v compressor somewhere.

Last order of parts should be coming this week so Hopefully next Monday I will start the swap.

OA1 Panhard and 3r-1350 U joint. From summit.

Had to hook up yee-ole car hauler and resort to the stealer to hopefully fix my baby sisters car. Alternator died last week and she limped it home a few miles on probably 5v of battery. Anyhow replaced the alternator and alternator fuse which is charging properly now but the ECU is stuck in limp mode and my basic scanner won't clear it. I shot-gunned a ton of parts with no resolve so to the dealer it goes. It's a $1,700 POS so hopefully I don't get ***** by them.

Point of posting was I'm always surprised how well the 3" drop Eibach springs do while towing. This is a heavy trailer originally built for a bobcat or tractor. Car itself weighs about 3,200 so I'd say this is close to a 6k load maybe more. Truck only squated about an inch and a half and isn't on the bumps. Really excited to do the free travel mod and bags as I know I will be bottoming out on some big bumps tomorrow.

Thank you! The color is called Lazer Black. I haven't seen them in person yet but he said they almost look dark dark metallic grey in direct sunlight but in anything other than direct light its a deep black with sparkle.

The arms are a base coat of silver with a coat of heavy flake and 3 coats of clear gloss. He said the light silvers stain easy and the 3 clears should keep them looking good for years and years.
