Thanks Luke, I actually just trimmed the front valence ,its really small now. I kind of want to lower it for a little while, can't decide what to do.

SW CT,
removing the running boards makes all the difference when going for the "offroad" look.

White07Tahoe--glad to see I'm not the only one having thoughts on lowering their leveled ride..lol.

Yes there is a little rubbing on the plastic fender liner bc I have been too lazy to trim it. I def recommend going with 305's, I love the big, fat, wide tire look.

Here are some better pics of my trimmer valence (before I got my graps)

This is the only other pic I have of it with the running boards off. I havent had time to get better pics with them off.

Also I recomend cutting off the exhaust tip, I think it makes the back look much better.

If you look close at your stock valence, there is a line that goes across the whole valence. I used a dremel tool and cut along the line. If you just want to take the valence off, there are ugly holes where the valence clips into. I did have to trim the ones in the middle of the bumper but it was easy. It took about an hour but it was well worth it.

THAT is what I had envisioned mine looking like. If it had looked that good my CCM and Nittos would still be on. Instead the Nittos were quickly swapped fof the LTX M/S 2's...and the CCM is sitting on top of my refrigerator waiting for a buyer. That's the luck I have!!!

I'm also considering going with some Nittos. I'm thinking about going with 305s too, but don't want to do any trimming. What about adding a wheel spacer? Dorman makes a 6 lug spacer that's ~1/4" thick. I don't think there'd be a problem using the factory lug studs. If there is I'll just open the Dorman catalog and find a longer stud for our trucks. What does everybody think?
