The coil-overs will settle, so as obnoxious as it is, I’d run it for a week and readjust. The rotation adjustment relative to lift height should be in the instructions, my kings were listed (sorry can’t remember turns to inches of the top of my head).

They sent them with the incorrect preload. Luckily I know the guys there pretty well and had their number. I broke down and called them.
Pulled 1.2 inches of preload out and voila:

Front:
Ads 2.5 coilovers w/remote reservoirs, RC uca

Rear: (still waiting for the rear shocks so Arnotts with air unplugged) and z71 suburban bump stops, and suburban lift springs

Tires are cooler atp2 in 275/65/18

I’ll get fender ride heights tomorrow after I loop the air compressor line. (It’s still trying to fill the airbags even with the fooler plugs.)

2017 Z71 midnight edition
Leveled on Fox 2.0 front coilovers and rear shocks
275/70r18 Nitto Ridge Grapplers on stock 18’s

Really like the way it turned out.

Looks awesome! I see they didn't match your sidewalls, same thing happened to me even after making it clear to them, so I went back and had them fix the one that didn't match. Turns out they snuck a charge on my card for fixing their own mistake but oh well. I kind of wanted the same size but ended up with the 265/70r18. Just a hair smaller in height and width. Now that I've seen the 265s on I know I could fit the 275 with my level kit so I'll probably get them next time. Super happy with them overall!

Specs? 35x12.5’s? Need any spacers for the wheels? How much lift?

Looks great!
These are 285/55R22 Nitto Trail Grapplers. No spacers we’re needed for these wheels. I am running a SuspensionMaxx 2.5” leveling kit in the front and stock height in the rear. Thank you!

Before and after. Installing rear springs today. So I’ll post the final pics later.
Hoping for around 2 inches lift all around.

Ads 2.5 coilovers front and 2.5 remote reservoir rears. Lift springs and z71 bumps out back.
RC uca.
Sorry if this is off topic. I see you have the Specialty AC Delco rotors. Look very nice. Are they worth it? You have front and rears? I was thinking of upgrading to these.

Yes. Awesome.

Ads put my rear shocks on hold since I set up a discount code for people (tell them juicier and it’s 10% off and tuning).
Anyways, my eibach shocks were leaking and I had these multimatics for a zr2 sitting around.
Threw them in. Better than blown shocks, but horrible low speed dampening.

The colorado zr2 folks threw a conniption fit when I posted pics on their Fb page lol.

I have the fronts on my suburban with ceramic pads and what a difference they make with pedal feel/brake cooling/stopping distance. I still need to upgrade the rear though.
The perks are they are still genuine GM so no issues getting stuff serviced at the dealer.
Rock auto has them listed as a PPV option.

I’m trimming my air deflector soon. I want to cut this much off like you did here. Has anyone trimmed theirs with an angle grinder with a 4 1/2” cutoff wheel? That’s the best tool I have to do it and want to make sure it’ll work fine for this.
That should work fine, although maybe a little overkill. It's very easy to cut. Maybe try and use the thinnest wheel you can find to reduce the amount of melting. I used an oscillating multi tool for mine and it buzzed right through it no problem.

I ordered new cutoff discs on Amazon and they are 3/64” thick. Sounds pretty thin. I know it’s probably not the best tool but if it will work then I was going to do that since I already had it. If it may be harder to do a good job then I’m fine borrowing ir buying the best tool for it.

An angle grinder will work. Just make plenty of relief cuts along the way. I'd even try grazing a line with it rather than going all the way through on your first pass to reduce catching. Might even be able to break sections of with a pliers.

Used an inexpensive ~$30 Dremel for mine that included the round sander to smooth things out. I'd go that route again over an angle grinder of you're able to get one. Good luck either way.
