Picked this '19 Z71 up last year, and just got done with the mods below. Fox 2.0's up front and shocks out back. Wayyy better than the stock suspension. Then put 275/70R18 Toyo ATIII's on. Clearance is fantastic up front now, gained nearly 4" total at the bumper. Had to do a little massaging to the front passenger fender liner with a heat gun, but now there is no rubbing at all.

Hell yea!

I put the fox units on the front of my wifes denali. We like them too.

Did you run them at the preset setting, or did you lower them a bit? I figured I got about 3” or more of lift out of them in the preset configuration, so I lowered them down a bit to match the rear height.

Well done!

Yes sir, it looks THAT good.

Enjoy the ride - I have nothing but praise for my Fox 2.0s

Your Suburban looks amazing. Great photos, perfect stance to large tire ratio. Thanks for sharing.

1.5” Motofab leveling kit with 275/60/r20 Continental TerrainContact A/Ts on my new to me 2017 LT. Front is right at 1/8” lower than the back which is completely fine with me, really didn’t want it to look or be nose high. As for the tires, I couldn’t be happier with them. I’m a 90% on road 10% off road driver and these things are the absolute most comfortable and quietest tires I’ve ever owned. I think that the running boards and chrome door molding are coming off next, and the air dam trim not far behind. Thanks to everyone on this thread for the inspiration!

i would trim the valance to match the boards, then remove the boards.

not a fan of real short or voided valances...just looks odd and gives a nose high appearance. really look at the lines on the valance and create a natural appearing line.

i think my plan will be to just cut the “wings” off at first. I’ll see how it looks and go from there, may take another inch or 2 off at most. Appreciate the input though

I cut off the wings on mine and love how it looks, esp with the leveling kit. This photo is before the kit.

I did the same (Yukon though) first pic is just above the “wings” following the lower line in the valance with factory running boards, second pic is trimmed about an inch higher following the upper line with amp powersteps.

20201114_162627.jpg 20201114_165254.jpg a slight trim of the wings makes a huge difference i think, not to mention at stock height it doesnt rub any parking curbs 20201114_165254.jpg

Thanks! I ran them as is, and it gave me about 1.75" of lift. After settling, they are right at 1" lower than the rear. I might take them out and bump them up another 1/2", but it's not bothering me too much.

Did you have to remove them to adjust? I've heard both answers...

you definitely have to compress the springs to adjust the collar. I did remove them to do that. Definitely dont try to do it without compressing the spring, as i did..SHITSHOW

My 2015 LTZ. Converted the magnetic ride to Fox 2.0 coilovers, added Xineering 3/4 bypass kit to avoid any warning lights for the suspension, added a 1.5 inch spacer in the rear, KSP upper control arms, and longer end links for the rear. This Tahoe started out as stock loaded with chrome. Traded out the stock 22s for some 20s and a set 265 60 20 BFG ultra terrain tire. Also upgraded the stock air intake with a Jr air intake system (kept the stock airbox) and added custom tune. No longer your typcial grocery getter! I have a before and after picture to show all the progress and a few other current ones

@Brittanyb2214 - Can you give details to the group regarding the customization to your LTZ front grille?
I have not seen someone leave the bit of chrome and thought it looked pretty good. From the photos it was a bit hard to tell if the grille got vinyl wrap or some sort of paint.

Certainly no longer a "grocery getter" -> looking great!
I'm guessing that after the Fox coil overs and rear spacers were installed you came out to something around a +3"/1.5" level (front/rear).
