Thought I'd share a few pics with you guys. This site has been very informative for me, so thought I'd take a little time and share a little pay back. Pics were very helpful to me when I was determining how I wanted my truck to look, so hopefully this will help someone else in the future.
It's an 04 LT with AWD, which throws a lot of people, but it's the same system they put in the Denalis. Not many people know they put them in Tahoe's as well
Anyway, fenders started at approx 35 3/8" in each of the front fenders and the rear fenders each sat at approx 37".
I went with ebay keys, 2.5" aluminum spacers (also ebay) and shock extenders originally. I ran the extenders for about 2 weeks until I couldn't take the knocking any longer (original shocks at 153k), so I decided to go with Bilstein 5100 shocks. Very happy with this decision. The ride is fantastic. Tires are 285/70R17 BFG All Terrain. I can't believe how quiet these things are. D rated tire, not the E rated version.
After the lift, I ended up at 38" in the front corners and 38.5" in the rear corners and couldn't be happier with the results.
On to the good stuff. First few pics are before pics, then some before, middle (lift/old tires/shock extensions), then finished product with Bilsteins.
