I ordered a CCM 2.5/1" leveling kit for my 2014. Should be in this Friday and hopefully I'll get it on this weekend. I also ordered a set of toyo open country at3's in 285/70/17 and a set of vision manx 2 overland wheels in a 17x9 +18 offset. Should give me a little poke but not extreme. I may be wrong on that. We will see. I'll post once the level is on and then when the wheels and tires get here from custom offsets. I can post about the install of the level if anyone is interested. Just let me know. First little build thread. Wanted to give it a whirl.

My wife is actually for the lift. We will see how she feels about the wheels lol. These tires will be about a 32.7". Close to 33's. I don't see many tahoe's in my area with any modification so it will give it a unique look even with how mild this modification is.

285/70r17 fit ours with stock rims and stock suspension not sure how they will fit yours with that much offset hopefully the level is enough to make room for them to turn.

Quick update. Got the ccm level in and I'm very impressed with the quality. the rear spacers are billet and look great. For the front, the spacers have very nice welds and come with the hardware needed for install. Hopefully I can get this installed over the weekend.

I may have to trim the inner liner a touch but from what I have read these should fit without too much fuss.

Ok I got the ccm kit on yesterday. As for ease of install, it wasn't bad at all. The only thing that the instructions didn't have that I ended up needing was a coil spring compressor. not a big deal. Took me about 5 hours to do working at a easy pace and having to run to town to get the spring compressor. Really happy with the quality of this kit and that it gives you all the torque specs you need to get the job done right. I will have to check the torque on everything in 500 miles but other than that it is done. I am getting an alignment today and the wheels and tires should be here tomorrow. Don't mind the spare lol. If you are looking for a little more height I highly recommend this kit. For 160 bucks and a little bit of time this is a great option. I'll post again on the fitment of the wheels and tires when I get them and any trimming that was needed to avoid rubbing. Also ride quality doesn't seem to have changed. Maybe a slight bit rougher in a big dip in the road but overall not a whole lot different.

Quick update. I got the wheels and tires but they sent me the wrong lug nuts. I got the spiked lugs instead of the splined ones. They were really easy to work with and got the right ones sent out immediately. I'll hopefully get those in the next couple days and throw the wheels on.

Ok got the wheels and tires on. Looks badass. With the +18 offset over the factory +34 (I think) I had to do some heavy trimming. I still need to do some minor touch up trimming so I'll post pictures of my less than impressive trim job when it clears completely.

@Kuhndog-11 Hey man I really like that setup and I think I need to have it. Can you tell me the exact specs of the wheels and tires or send me a link? I have got to have it.

Side pics please. Would like to see how much they stick out past the fenders.
They are nearly flush. In person it looks really good. The sidewalls bulge just outside if that's the look you are going for.

Vision manx 2 overland wheels. 17x9 +18mm offset. Tires are toyo open country at3's in a 285/70/17. I still haven't got any pictures of my trim job. It's not pretty but had to so they would clear. I might see about getting new liners and doing it a little different. First time I have ever had to trim anything. This setup looks really good in person. I have more pictures on the custom offsets gallery. https://www.customwheeloffset.com/w...tahoe-vision-manx-2-overland-ccm-leveling-kit

Tks for the picture. I have narrowed my choice of wheels down to two. I have to decide on offset to match within the limitations with my Dirt King UCA’s.

@Marshall 008 I'm there with you. I am running factory 20 inch wheels with wheel spacers along with Rough Country Forged upper control arms. I want to swap wheels so that I can fit a bigger tire but I need to clear the control arm still. I'd like to go with some factory 17 inch wheels but I don't know if they would clear the upper arms if I went with a wider tire than factory.

@Kuhndog-11 can you post up-close pics of the trim job? I am contemplating the same lift/level and would like a visual. Especially of how much of the bumper support you trimmed. Awesome project and write-up. Also saw your rig on CustomOffsets. :cool:
