I did do an alignment just to be safe, but it was pretty unnecessary. They barely changed anything at all. I waited until after I got new tires and everything though, so that it was going to be the final change for a while.
I meant to reply to your post with my last one (post #889), but I forgot to hit the reply button. My last post explains a little about what I did and why. The 1.5" kit only cost like $70 and I installed myself. I've got a thread on here with pics, I'm sure you can probably find in my profile.
The suspensionmaxx 1.5" is pretty easy to put in yourself with basic tools. And looks very close to stock. I noticed a lot of guys who did the 2.5 also went up 1 in the rear, which I did not want to do. Plus the 1.5 requires no extra modifications and works fine with factory wheel offset.
They can be removed but my understanding is that it's kind of a pain to do. Also it kind of leaves an unfinished look imo. I left about 2.5-3 inches of material if i remember correctly. The PPV ones I think are more like 1-2 inches. You can click that image and zoom in. Hard to tell at the...
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.
Thank you, I'm very happy with it! And the lean issue was just my driveway tweaking the supsension slightly i guess. I checked it at my in law's and it's perfect. I've had thoughts about doing the black grill, but the reason I left the suburban badges was because I still had the chrome lugs...
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...
I have 265/70r18 e-rated ridge grapplers (32.87 x 10.71). They fit my suburban stock with no rub. I put the 1.5 inch level on after the tires just for looks. I'm pretty sure you could get away with 275/70r18 (33.19 x 10.98) also, after seeing mine. Even if they rubbed it would be very minor...
Sorry, I just now saw this. If you hit reply on the post before typing a response it will notify people that you responded to their post. Mine was the condenser issue. Fortunately I have a 3 year warranty from a third party that we bought with the truck. Got it back yesterday and apparently a...
Just went through this with my '17. The extended warranty is good for 5 years or 60,000 miles. Mine was just past the mileage but fortunately I have a warranty that's covering it. Gotta pay $100 deductible since it's not the dealer I bought the truck from but I want GM to do the repair so...
2017 Suburban LT 4x4, luxury package plus the 'sun, destination & entertainment package'. Suspension maxx 1.5" level, Nitto Ridge Grappler 265/70r18 E rated tires (32.87" x 10.71"), absolutely no rub before or after the level. Debadged the LT logos, and gloss black vinyl on the bow ties and...
Got a measurement on a different flat surface. I think it was my driveway causing it. Both front sides were 37 & 1/8" exactly. Rears were 38 & 1/2" and 38 & 1/4", so very close. The original front measurement was 35 & 3/4". I just thought it was odd that I had one corner so far off before...
Ok, couldn't help myself. Took a few on the non sunny side. Can't tell how filthy it really is lol. I also trimmed the lower plastic valance right at the bottom of the belly line. Leaving 2.5 inches of material. Little more than the ppv ones, but way less than stock. That alone netted me...
Just got back from a long trip in rainy weather. It's going in for an alignment tomorrow morning. I'll get some shots after it's clean lol! Plus my wife took it to get the kids from school.
The measurements for each corner looked like this from the ground to the fender with the tape running center through the center cap of the wheel. You guys think is is normal from not sitting on a perfectly level surface or not?
Front- 37 & 7/16"______ 37 & 2/16" (1/8)
Rear - 37 & 13/16"_____...
Everything fit perfectly, no rub. Before and after the leveling kit. Now I have a question about the ZW7 suspension that my truck is equipped with. I searched first but couldn't find what I needed. I gained the expected height in the front, but it seems the rear passenger corner is riding...
Just to update this thread, I'll be getting the E rated LT265/70r18 nitto ridge grapplers mounted next Wed. 32.87" inch diameter, 10.71" wide. I also have the suspension Maxx lower strut spacers getting delivered tomorrow to level the front 1.5". I'm going to install those myself, probably...
Thank for the advice! I am certainly leaning towards the 265/70, and yes they are the factory wheels. I'd rather have a little extra height on the tire versus more width. I'm sure the 275/70 would fit also after taking some measurements, however it would be very tight and we're only talking...
Yeah you're right. I measured side to side and the best I can tell, they are right at 31". But that means those two sizes would fit even easier than I thought. In theory they wouldn't rub the back of fender well liner until about 34" but that's only if there wasn't any added width on the tire...
