What did you do to your NNBS GMT900 Tahoe/Yukon Today?

[Charlie207]

Looks goofy with the factory-sized tires.

Is it leveled, or is the suspension stock? Looks like a 600lb guy with size 5 shoes.

Leveled. I removed the Rough Country leveling kit riser when I installed the 5100s, on the tallest setting. These are 31.5" tires.

I've seen the PPVs lowered, it just makes that small tire look look so much better. The nbs has the same issue, with that huge gap in the rear wheel well to tire gap. I lowered mine and the look is night and day.

See, that looks good. If I could find some extra $$$, and a clean 2wd around here I might get a summer rig to lower. It's just that there are basically zero 2wd trucks up here.

Even with the G80 in the back of mine & winter tires, I have zero chance of getting up the icy hill I live on. It's a FWD or 4WD world here.

I finally realized there was no upside to living in Calif and fled the state.
The cost of living is insane and the regulations are even more insane.
The local police are more interested in pulling you over and writing tickets for more revenue than actually dealing with actual criminals.
I am very glad I left and it's been less than 6 months.

what city did you live in?

Mine is 4wd--or it was. Lowered in the front with keys. It's 2wd now only because I have long tubes and the front prop shaft wouldn't fit with the headers. All the components are still there--minus the prop shaft. You could lower yours no problem.

I don't want to lower mine, but I respect the look. Mud season here is no joke. My dad lives way up on the side of a remote hill, and the dirt road turns to mush all spring. If I need to get up to his house you legitimately need 4wd and clearance.

I would so much rather buy a 2nd car to lower and make faster.

Ahh, I get it. I don't blame you 1 bit. Gonna go with a little bit more aggressive tread? Those tires look like they're meant for dry conditions.

The tires I just put on are studded Winterforce 2s. They should do ok, I think. I hope.

Since I was a kid I've always wanted to burn rubber with studded tires. Wondering if I'd see sparks lol.

Take my word for it, you do see sparks. And if you are lucky , grooves in the pavement where the burnout took place Had some Trans Ams back years ago, that had to be used in the winter, and studs were installed.

Did and oil change and the last rotation for these tires.
Disassembled cleaned and re-lubed front brake assemblies to try and get rid of a squeak, so far it's been a couple hundred miles and I haven't heard much.
