I was measuring heights yesterday and I believe the ones on there are 31-32, somewhere in there. They are still pretty full, but once they go out, I'll for sure be looking at bigger tires (and possible 18" wheels). I do like the brush guard and plan on keeping it.

I LOVED the Corsa on my '03. I would love even more to throw one on this guy, and a CAI as well, then get the BB tune. Just a little pricey at the moment. But I'm sure I'll get there some day.

I'll give the liners a look, never really thought of it.

I have 20's but my stickers are 31.8x10.8 so yours are prolly close. I'm rocking them with a 2.5" lift looks ok until I get 33x12.50 but like you I'm wearing these out first. I'm pretty sure the z71's have 18" wheels unless I'm thinking wrong?

Yeah the 5.3 is way quieter than 6.2 but with a nice catback (check out MBRP) and I good intake like a k and n and your tune she'll be great! I don't know if you need the running boards but you could take them off for it to look taller

The liners have saved my carpet. It's be destroyed with out it

The sticker read 17" wheels, but I've never measured them. Probably worth doing huh.

Edit: Just to clarify, is this the right CCM kit?

Yes sir everybody uses it and it's the best bang for your buck. With 33's your truck will feel huge next to a stocker, and it is cost effective!

And those should be 18's since they're z71 wheels

Yes they are 18s

^ Did confirm on the tire, they are 18s. Woop.

Got it checked out at the dealer. Tranny fluid looks like it was replaced recently, so that's nice. Flushed brake fluid since it needed it, did fuel induction service because it was near due and carbon buildup was present, and did an alignment to combat the wear pattern. So now I'm at a solid baseline.

I did however completely forget to talk about paint and the two defects. Will call some time for a bottle.

Edit:
I was estimated about 4 hours on the job at $90/hr for the CCM lift, bringing the total cost to about $450 parts/labor. That was a bit more than what I was expecting for just a leveling kit. If labor for this is truly that much I would really rather swap for a suspension lift. Any thoughts on this? Thanks!

Edit 2: Getting some ugly estimates (350-500 just for labor), so I'm fixing to just bite the $20 and return this. Guess I should've called around before hand, but didn't expect labor to be that high for this...

I did my CCM by myself and it took me less than 4hrs
