Hahaha actually I AM chomping at the bit for the CCM 2.5/1. I just put Nitto terra grappler 305/50/20's on the same rims as yours and they rub in reverse/full lock... Need to remedy this ASAP! And my girlfriend drives the escalade while I work. We have a four month old so I wanted her in a big vehicle. She will not let me touch the suspension/rim selection unfortunately. She wants to keep the vehicle as stock as possible :(

Aww, a fresh new baby, yet old enough to finally be out of that horrid "forth trimester" phase! Congrats to you both! I have a 3 and half year old and a barely 7 month old myself. Both kiddos ride in those huge Britax carseats. Thank goodness the Tahoe has so much space to offer! I keep the bench in the back flipped up to allow me enough room to lug grocery and strollers.

What aggravates me is since the car seat has to to be facing the opposite way, it sticks out really far so whoever is in the front passenger seat has to scoot all the way up. I kinda wish it had a little bit more room in the 2nd row :/

Thanks for the congrats! I am lovin' the kid and i've been at work for the past two weeks away from him and can't wait until I can see the little guy again. Yea we fold up the third row seats towards the 2nd row and leave the stroller in the cargo area permanently lol

yes unfortunately so. I ordered it christmas day as a present to myself. A week later still no email from CCM Offroad. I emailed them after a week of waiting for an email with a UPS tracking # and they finally emailed me back and said 'oh sorry it's on back order'... so lame. Anyways I told them to not cancel it and just to ship it ASAP as they said it would be about another week before the whole kit is available again. I guess for 140 it's worth the wait.

That's lame for sure. You'd think they'd post that up front so you know. As for the kid thing, welcome to the club. I have an 18 month old and 6 week old. No sleep in this house. I love my boys, but the new one is a night owl. He's trying to control me! I had to pull my 3rd row, for the stroller and baby bag. We got one of those 2 man strollers. Need all the space and I have a 12" sub in a box back there too.

Hey Felix,

How is that babe doing? Letting you and your girlfriend get a few more hours of sleep these days, I hope! Your leveling kit ever show up? I had planned on ordering mine this weekend. I was hoping they werent still on back order. Was hoping you had some pictures and words of wisdom after your install. Whats the word?!

The baby is doing excellent. He is definitely sleeping more the older he gets but it's still a work in progress. I ended up canceling the CCM order and buying it off a fellow TYF member who was upgrading his lift. It's on it's way and the day it comes in I'm getting it installed and will post some pics and comments about it. I've heard nothing but good things about the CCM though!!

I just did leveling kit an 2" zone body lift with 35s and it looks great an rides good. The back looks the exact same as it did and we did a little welding so the trailer hitch is very strong and I can still tow with it.
