Thanks bro! Between you and Creeto posting pics of yalls rigs and answering my questions....it really really helped a lot.

I live in Victoria, Texas which is about 2 hours south of southwest of Houston and 2 hours southeast of Austin.

Don't know if I was that much help...but thanks. So the burning question is...Does it fit in your garage? Doesn't look like it from the pics.

Now I have "Lift Envy" & wanna jack mine up 2 more inches...:)

Does it measure a true 6"? It looks a bit higher in the pics...

So nice to see another lifted NNBS on here...There are so few of us. :Handshake:

Hope you are off work for the holiday weekend and get to spend it cruising around...

I'll have to get measurements later. It's deff. 6 inches if not higher.

There is no chance it will fit in my garage. I knew it wouldn't when I ordered the lift but I just wanted the full 6" bad enough to bite the bullet on the garage.

CORRECTION: It does fit in my garage!! Crazy I know...my house is only 2 years old and I don't know if they started building higher garage opening or what but mine is over 7' in the front and 10' celings inside. I have about 3/4" above my antenna and luggage rack. Man, what a nice surprise:)

Thanks man !

Yes, the front bumper is painted silver right underneath the bumper and then below where it is actually painted is an aluminum piece that connects to the bottom. It's all part of the Z71 appearence theme. I for one love the look but some people like it all painted one color.

Ahhhhh ok. Yeah I personally would paint it white since I like everything to match if you couldn't tell by my tahoe lol. Doesn't look bad silver though.

I have a pretty tall garage and yes it BARELY....and when I say BARELY fits...it's less than 1/2 an inch!

I did take it a little offroad today and did not have any rubbing. We did a lot of trimming and movement of the wheel well lining. I will post pics on all of that in the week to come. It will help anyone attemting to do this.
