Yukon XL project level kit w/ new wheels & tires

[Boandme]

Well I thought I would start a new thread on my little project that I am doing to the wife's Yukon. It's nothing major but it will look so much better once it's done!

Here is what we started with



First things first, tint the windows.



I ordered the CCM 2.5/1 level kit and will be putting on KMC XD 20x9 Monster wheels with +18mm offset. Tires will be 305/55R 20 Nitto Trail Grapplers. I did the large fender mod on the Yukon to accommodate the tires and everything that was trimmed was done behind the fender well liner. (thanks to InTruckDesign for his help!). Here just a photo of part of the process in the fender mod. It wasn't too bad at all to do.



Here is the truck with just the front part of the level kit in. CCM sent me the kit and they didn't put the rear coil spacers in the box so hopefully they will be here tomorrow!





Stopped by the tire shop so my wife could pick out which side of the Trail Grappler she wanted to the outside and took a couple pics with the tire set next to it. These tires are bad! I am thinking of putting them on my 08 2500HD duramax.





I am waiting on the wheels (impatiently) to get here. Still not sure when that's going to happen. Should have shipped either Monday or Tuesday but I haven't received any tracking info yet. I will update as soon as I make more progress. I hope you enjoy as much as I have so far.

Here is a pic for the heck of it with my two helpers in it....

Oh yeah badass man!!! You will love those tires, I switched back to the TerraGraps and kinda regret it now...just doesn't have that "Beast" look. Can't wait to see the finished project.

Hey thanks! I appreciate the help and the nice comments. I want to take off the side boards and all the decals but she wants them left on so I guess that's fine. After all I did buy the truck for her. Also I would like to shave down the front air dam after seeing you a a couple others do it. I just think it looks so much cleaner but I guess we got a good start so far.
I planned to build my truck up first but this just kind of happened on a wim. I have a 08 Chevy 2500HD Duramax that I want to put a 4" lift on and 35" tires. Only thing I am struggling with is how to do it and still pull our 30' fifth wheel camper safely??? I have seen where guys flip the axles on the fifth wheel but just don't know enough about gearing and all that to fell confident figuring the build out on my own. That projects for another day though....

Cant wait to see it, you should def do white walls out, I think they look amazing on white trucks, regardless congrats

 

[Boandme]

No white walls out on this truck. Even if we wanted to the tires are all black just different fonts. Thanks for the comments though.

looks good...i think you might have just made me spend some more money on a leveling kit...

 

[Boandme]

Thanks. I will say one thing, these tires are heavy compared to stock tires!

 

[InTruckDesign]

Boandme, hey when you get ready to show your Dmax some love, send me a pm...I know those trucks like the palm of my hand and could help you out some or point you in the right direction.
