That’s a big tire for a level kit. Measure stock fender height to determine how much rear lift you need to level front

Just got my (new to me) 2015 Tahoe LT 4x4.

Did a 3" Level on the Front 1" in the rear
Nitto Ridge Grappler 33's
Blacked out the wheels
LED's in Headlights/High Beams/Reverse Lights/License Plate
Full tint job on front windows and windsheild
Trimmed lower valance to match running board height
Custom Exhaust tips on Magnaflow Cat-back system
Blacked out emblems exterior and interior
Debadged the exterior

Ordered Onyx GM Mud Flaps, Husky Liners, and debating wrapping the chrome around the windows in black. Feel free to give thoughts.

Love this thread though! It helped me decide which upgrades to choose.

Cheers!

So it sounds / looks like a 2.5”F / 1.5”R setup is indeed a good look. That’s what I bought for my ‘18 Yukon Denali and was questioning it now that I’m about to get it installed (was questioning 1” vs 1.5” in rear).

I bought 305/55r20 Ridge Grapplers to go along with it.

Cant wait to see what it looks like!!!

I have been considering those tires for my wifes Denali. Are they fairly noisy? She does a lot of driving and I do not really want to stick her with something too noisy. Love the aggressive look though!

I don't find them noisy at all. I would compare them to a BF Goodrich KO2, maybe even quieter. I've had several different types of aggressive tires over the years. I like these a lot. Aggressive side wall, but road friendly tread pattern. Plus the inside of these vehicles seem to drown out a lot of noise. I can barely hear my exhaust except when getting on the gas.

Ok thanks.

She has 38k on the stock Bridgestones and they are noisy as hell right now. Driving us nuts. They seem to be a bit cupped on the inside from the front end, which seems weird to me because it is all factory/stock right now.

The leveling kit requires an alignment, correct?

Yes it does. Just did my first long road trip over the weekend. Slight vibration running 80+. Some times its hard to get the off road(ish) tires to balance at the higher speeds. But they did well overall.

Looking good centex254! You gonna change out the tires?
Thanks. It came with the stock 18's so the wheels and tires have been changed. Tires are the Bridgestone Dueler A/T's (285/45/22) that I saw on the new Denali pickup and the rims are knockoffs from ebay.

We put those on my wifes last Yukon, very nice tire.

Did you ever get the new tires installed?

Right Now I am debating Dualer A/T for a discrete A/T look to go with the front level or your 305 Hankook A/T

Ha, well, I got the leveling kit on last Friday. That went fine. The tires turned into a little bit of an ordeal... all part of my stupidity. I have now ended up ordering a set of factory size (285/45/22) Nitto Terra Grappler G2's for it. Should be in pretty soon I hope... I will add pics when they are on.

You cant really go wrong with either of the choices you are looking at. The Dueler AT's are way better than the original Bridgstone's, but still a bit on the tame side for a truck AT. But they look good. I have not had a set of Dynapro's before, but have heard good things about them. And I have had Hankooks in the past with great success.

My main reason for changing tires was mainly the fact that my wife likes the looks of the Terra Grapplers better (happy wife, happy life). I also really didn't want to **** around with a slightly larger than stock tire with the possibility of rubbing issues (although I dont think there would have been).

Just a gorgeous truck. I think that deserves black out on the chrome window surrounds, too. Looks sick how it is, though. The all-black running boards are super clean and tough looking, too. I have a Yukon Denali and I don't know what I'm going to do with all the chrome, yet. I think I'm going to start with Plasti-dipping my chrome rims. Not sure if I am going to take off the chrome door trim, black it out with vinyl, or get black trim from the dealer...

Anyway, looking good!

Question: How did you trim the front valance?

Thanks.
