New and happy hybrid owner (2013)

[CYKBC]

Yeah, no rear autoride on the Tahoe and base Yukon Hybrids, just on the Denali and Escalade hybrids.

I bought that kit and never installed it ... sold it to 07burb who I think was very happy with it ... but he can chime in and tell you in person.

Speaking of esky/nali hybrids, they come stock with 285/45/22 so like me, you won't rub with those ... and you can always get those slide in spacers to push out the rear a bit.

And you're very welcome.

Looks like I'll be calling the tire shop in the early AM to get this sorted once and for all. I'll be a happy camper. Next week, the truck goes to the body shop to get the front grill and rear badge painted glossblack/silver. Tint. Frontal area plastic coverage. Also going to film the windshield. Then I'm done (maybe the rear lowering depending on the taller 285's ability to visually decrease the gappage).

I love his hybrid man. so comfy. so smooth. and great mgp for a bus.

The 285/45s will fill out the wheel well a bit more as well.

Btw, AMI All Sales make high quality front/back gloss black emblem replacements ... I can track down the PNs if you want. The back one has no chrome border on it tho, so if you want to keep that then painting is the only way.

I'll have to carve out my own way then

This the All Sales front:



Oem rear painted black:



All Sales rear:




On a side note, something to consider ... everything black (valance, grille, rear bumper cover) near those emblems is matte plastic. Gloss would match the rims but those are obviously not near the emblems. So maybe matte black emblems would look more uniform on the front and back?

 

[CYKBC]

I like for things to pop and don't necessarily need stuff to be matchy matchy if that makes any sense. So I'm definitely set on ice silver bowties, gloss blacking the chrome grill trim and outlining the bowtie with gloss black. I'm very into a monochrome, uniform look. Not much of a matte fan esp on wheels. Fully appreciate all the suggestions, regardless!

Man that's odd that you're rubbing on your front sway bar. I'm thinking it might be the offset of the aftermarket rims? Do you know what offset the slide 22's are?

 

[CYKBC]

It's either +18 or 38.

Maybe the hybrid has a tighter turning radius with its electric power steering?
