I couldn't find any info about 33x12.5" tires fitting. I mounted these 33x12.5x22 ridge grapplers today on replica 22x9 wheels 6.25" backspacing. The tires gave me about 1" of lift. I am running a 2.5" suspensionMaxx front and 1" rear spacer. I can make it rub at a full turn with body roll, it only rubs on the cloth wheel tub a little bit. Easy fix to just heat and push over or just pull it over with a ziptie as many others do.

Looks good! Now trim the front air dam.

Thanks. I was considering removal but access to the screws didn't look easy. Have to check more into it. May end up trimming it back instead. Also found that the sidewall barely rubs the swaybar at full lock. 6" or less backspace would be better.

Look into installing a PPV front deflector that is about 1/4 of the size of the stock piece.
I did it to mine, many other people did too by now, and others have cut the stock piece

Here is my 2016 XL Denali with a SuspensionMaxx 2.25” front and 1” rear leveling kit. I wanted just a little bit of rake, and that’s what I got. I cut the air dam a few months ago as well.

Next up are 285/60-20 Duratrac tires to fill it out a bit better. I expect some heating and/or trimming to eliminate rubbing, I'll keep you updated on that one.

Baby steps towards making it the way I want it!

Dumb question, have you tried going through a parking garage? My wife often goes to the city and into a parking garage every so often. This is the exact look I'm going for. Except my 'Hoe is Tungsten Metallic.

Jpritchie20 is the same vehicle and very similar look. Love y'all a rides.

Could you post a close up on the trimmed air dam?

@Ridechevy09 post that new hoe on 26x16! I saw these on the gram. Give us specs but looks like FTS 10" with coilovers, specialty forged 26x16 on Fury 37s.

I haven't needed to yet. I can take a measurement soon though of the overall height. I don't see a problem for Boston garages,it doesn't seem all that tall compared to other stuff I've done.

There is some cutting, well more like trimming, mostly to provide clearance for the front diff to drop down. The truck rides like it did stock. Fabtechs way of adjusting the magneride sensors up front is not adequate, but fabbing a bracket up fixes that and re-centers the sensor. I also think they should reduce the rear lift height by 1". With kit installed there is 2" of rake still, not a leveled stance.
call fabtech they just sent me a rear 1 inch spacer because my rear has 2 inch rake and i cant stand it they are pretty cool people and can send you a spacer free of charge. can post a picture next weekend when it gets installed

Great looking rides.
Curious what is the preferred brand of leveling kit? I have a 17 Sub Z71 with a noticeable back to front rake I don't care for. I want it to sit level. If i pick up a little tire clearance in front great but going much larger with tires isn't my primary motivation. How difficult is a leveling kit to install on a 4x4 IFS truck? All my wrenching experience has been on solid axle 4x4s back in the day when D60 /D70 with a 205 case and NP435 trans meant something.

What happened to your Tahoe?
Is there a name/genre for this style ?
How do you load all kids, guests, Cherios, camping gear?
I am so curious!
