What tire pressure would yall reccommend? They are 35x12.50 R20 E load. Right now they are all at 38 psi.

I did the chalk test and I am running ~ 50 psi. Had the dealer adjust the high pressure alarms so the warning lights would not be on all the time.

Looks good. Like others have said, keep an eye on the CVs.

try running a little more air pressure in the tires.

still can't believe how ****** those cv angles are on that kit. should probably look into some aftermarket upper control arms to help with the upper balljoint angle as well

would have looked so much better on 20x12's and 33's. but meh

I love the look as it is, 33's would have looked too small and I unproportionate (is that even a real word???). 12" wide wheels need 35's or bigger to look right.

Looks really good. How does she like it? Better yet how tall is your GF?

Hey man I have some cognito upper control arms that have about 100 miles on them that would really help out those upper ball joint angles.
Pm me if you're interested.

She loves it! Only problem we are having is its throwing a service traction control and stabilitrak message. Only does it at sharp turns. I just disable it before we go to drive it but then the light stays on. We might see if black bear can take all that away. She's saving up for cognito control arms now. She won't be able to buy anything new for awhile since she just spent 4 grand on everything. She's about 5'6 and doesn't have any problems getting in. She gets in my truck just fine and mine sits up 7 more inches higher. And yes she wants the pocket style flares. And also some nfab steps.

i have the same problem with mine it only did it on sharp turns. but i took it offroad in the mud about a week ago and the lghts stay on now. went to O'reilys to get a new battery and asked the guy about it there, he used to work as a mechanic for chevy and he said just about any newer chevy thats lifted that high and tires that big even if u clear the code it will keep coming back, and if you can get over seeing the lights on its not a problem at all

She could buy mine slightly used for a fraction of the cost!!

Nice truck , As stated the angles are a little steep on those CVs however they aren't bad Ive seen much worse. Besides you won't have to worry about them breaking as long as you don't use the 4wd much , which on a Newer tahoe like this I doubt that will happen , can't believe I missed this

Still stock gearing. No need to change it for 35s. It didn't really lose too much power. Plus she gets gas for free so its not a problem.

haven't been on here in a long time..figure i'd give an update. we haven't had any problems at all. the tires have become less squirmy..she's put about 2k miles on them and i put a few more pounds of air in each and it seemed to tighten them up. the stabilitrak freaks out everytime we take a turn so its just become a habit of holding the button down for 5 seconds and we're good to go.
