I say you remove those door panels...itll give it more of a clean look....other then that looks ******* awsome! you need to black out that grille!

That is the exact size I would liek to run. But I only want to do a 1.5" front level. Do you think I would have rubbing issues with just that setup?

Even with the 2.5" spacer in the front, I need to trim a couple of small areas in the fender well front and back on both front wheels. I can turn full radius without rubbing (it's very close), but if I hit an incline while turning at certain degrees my tires rub in a couple of spots. Probably going to trim a bit and then heat up the fender well pastic and try to reshape it slightly in those areas. It's nothing major, but enough to be an annoyance and definitely won't be worth a damn off the pavement until I trim it up.

I would assume you would have the same issue if you run the same wheel and tire size with a 1.5" font spacer. I definitely like the 285/50/22's though, as they give you probably the largest amount of sidewall on a 22" wheel without stepping up to a 35" tire, which would require at least a 4" lift I would think. I'm much more familiar with lifts on pickups, so I've been having to relearn since this is my first Yukon.

Looks good and I like it with no running boards. I would take mine off also but I use it quite a bit when camping, plus they help block debris coming off the tires.

I agree with the benefit of blocking debris, but luckily these larger tires don't stick out at all from the fender wells, so hopefully it won't be too much of an issue. I had a set of 35x13.5 X-terrains on the HD I owned before the Yukon, and those things stuck out and threw crap up all the time.

I asked the wife if she wanted me to re-install them, and she actually agreed she likes it better without 'em. I guess if momma's happy and I'm happy, then why change a good thing?

Thanks for the compliment. I've driven Sierras and Silverados for the past 12 years, and always removed the chrome plastic trim on the sides, but over time received my fair share of door dings from jackasses in parking lots. I figured since I was blessed with body-colored moldings this time, I'd just leave them and avoid damage from the Blue-haired ladies and their shopping carts. However, I do like the look some of the forum members have with the moldings removed. Maybe I'll take 'em off.

I already have a black chrome speed grille insert and matching lower valance insert. I painted the chrome parts on the hood and grill red. What else are you saying I should black out?

Looks really good...I run without steps too and am willing to take a couple nicks to the rocker for the added clearance.

I like it a lot!!!....

Take InTruckDesign's lead and trim up your front air dam. It'll give you a little extra clearance and won't get caught up on things and ripped off as easily. It'll also help balance the look of truck--especially without the running boards!

I agree. Just looked at one of his threads with his air dam pictured, and it looks really good.

That rim/tire combo looks sick! I like it man, I think it would look better with the running boards too but like you said to each his own! Nice truck man!!

Shit I want those wheels but stock. PLEASE tell me you have a part number you can provide.

Victory - looks great!

Sophomore - I've got the wheels sitting in my garage (wrapped in 305/45/22" tires) awaiting install tomorrow. If there's anything specific you want off them, drop me a line.

I love the way your Yukon looks! The 22's on 33" tires looks amazing!

Looks good. Undercoat your wheel wells so that they look clean since so much of them is exposed now. What about the black chrome look tubular steps???
