Still looking good. I say put on a 03+ sierra bumper (hd?) with the round fog lights. And color match everything

I have definitely thought about that route as well since it's not something you see everyday... Just two things holding me back. 1. Have to modify the frame horns 2. Not sure I can pull the fully color matched look off. with my polished wheels, I kind of like the chrome bumpers and grille. Nonetheless, I am still watching CL to see if any pop up.

You can definitely pull off the color match look with polished wheels.

Mine are machine face. The only chrome on my Tahoe is the Esky rack and the wheel center caps.

Everything else is color matched. Just my .02.

Trucks looking good.

I was planning the 03+ Sierra bumper and grill on my Yukon until I ran across the deal for my Silverado front clip.

What size tires are you running?

And just to reiterate you are just running lift keys, Z71 rear springs with lift spacers, and a set of 1.5" rear wheel spacers? Correct?

Thank you! I'm running 275/60/20 Coopers right now, but they are toast. Bought a set of the new Falken AT3 though in the same size and should be on Saturday.

As far as suspension goes, I'm running eBay keys in front, stock coil springs in the rear with 1.5" eBay spacers, and 1.5" wheel spacers on all 4 corners.

So were the wheel spacers necessary?

Don't misread this. I like the look but I don't really trust them plus the front hubs are so failure prone anyway without the added stress of less back spacing.

Polished wheels look best with color match. Chrome wheels look best with chrome.
That my .02 too ;).

Me and Fosscore have pretty much the exact same taste. Before I joined this group I had plans to do exactly everything Fosscore has done except different polished wheels. Then after I joined I saw his and now I have to do mine completely different lol.

Nope, not necessary. 1.5" still doesn't push them out as far as most aftermarket wheels, I just like the look of OEM wheels with a little offset. No issues so far in the 15,000 miles they have been on.

Yukon looks goofy without the spacers
