Thanks. I moved to FL from the Midwest about a year ago so I know what you mean. This setup wouldn't stay nice on midwestern roads either. I traded off both cars I brought down here for Florida cars. Still amazes how nice older cars look here.

Thanks!

Well, I just bought it a couple months ago so I'm not exactly sure how it was kept so clean prior to that but it was super clean when I got it, especially for having 98k miles on it. First thing I did was use a mirror glaze cutting compound to bring out the depth and then used a cleaner wax. I hand wash it once a week and use a spray wax when I dry it with microfiber towels.

Yeah that depth is killer for black.

The hand wash weekly and spray wax (I do the same) is a big help by keeping the city crap and salty breeze off the paint.

You list SW Florida ...maybe Ft Myers area??

I'm just across Alligator Alley in FLL near the beach so always have that salty mist to contend with. Lol

About 30 miles north of Ft Myers, just south of Englewood. We're a few miles from the beach so the salty mist isn't too bad, truck gets a bit dusty sometimes though. I'm not complaining though, the dust here is nothing like the dust and dirty roads we had in Iowa. Not to mention the winter weather. It's 100 times easier to keep my rides clean here in FL.

Ha, doesn't really matter what wheel/tire combo you have when getting swallowed by a sinkhole.

There is some occasional rubbing on big bumps but not regularly. Had to do Tony's fender well mod to keep it from rubbing the back of the fender well when making tighter turns.

i like it! i've been debating on those brake caliper covers for weeks seeing your truck makes me want to pull the trigger. Same boat as you just cant really justify the $4k for a bbk. What suspension setup did you go with up front?

Thanks man. Yeah, I like the look of the covers, gives a cleaner look behind the big wheels, in my opinion. I know some despise them but to each their own.

I used Tony's (Norcal SS) 4/6 custom kit all around. The front has Belltech drop spindles, Belltech drop struts, and Belltech camber kit. Rear is Belltech shocks, DJM hardware and endlinks, and Tony's custom 6 inch drop springs from DJM. I also installed Spohn adjustable panhard bar and Spohn adjustable upper and lower control arms.

Like the drop and the rims.

New to Chevys, just bought this beast a little over a month ago. After lurking here for awhile, decided it needed a better stance. Lowered 4/6 with NorCal SS custom kit. Also replaced rear control arms with adjustable Spohn uppers and lowers.

Hey bud nice Tahoe Really clean did you have to trim a lot metal to fit those 26's I'm about to order me a set but in chrome for my 08 escapade ext

 

[KBones]

No trimming needed for 26's. Just a little heat and pushing the plastic inner fender wells in so they don't rub when you turn sharp

No trimming in the front, did have to do Tony's (NorcalSS) fenderwell mod though. I did end up trimming some of the rear fender lip though. It was getting a little too close to the tire on big bumps. I think that more due to the rear end not being perfectly centered, which I did adjust the panhard bar after the fact.

If you don't mind, what are your measurements from the ground to fender lip at all 4 wheels?
