What size wheel spacers did they use and are they hub centric?
I didn't measure the spacer but it looked like 1" to 1-1/2" to clear the front caliper. Since it's using spacers I would assume lug centric (no vibrations)

okay thanks. did you mean "Hub Centric", they have less vibration. (Same size as stock hub)

Yes I meant hub centric. Drives smooth.

OK. Stance looks really good, just right amount IMO. Any way you could find out the make and size of the spacers they use. If not, no big deal. Would like to push my wheels out just a tad.

Thanks in advance

I'll find out soon. I ordered mud flaps but gm said they are back ordered. Also I hate the spongy brakes, I want the brembos.

Stuck my phone in the wheel and was able to see the label. 1-1/2" spacer. It's on ebay for $66 a pair. The hc stands for hub centric.

Leveled today. For those looking to level, I installed a Motofab 1” strut extension. Anything more than 1” on these new Tahoe’s (at least the Z71) will put the front end higher than the back. This is within 1/8” of level per the dealership measurement. Have noticed no change in ride with the lower strut extension.

i really like the new Z71...but i really think GM missed with the badges.

i prefer my 2011, with the small C pillar emblem, which i also added to the lift gate.

i think i would prefer the newer ones to similar or relocate the large fender emblem to the door in place of TAHOE

So I’ve come back to the bow tie side...but with a 2021 Trailboss with the 6.2. Loving the white Z-71 hoe for sure. Got 2 questions. 1. Where did the black Z-71 fender emblem come from. 2. What’s the truck forum equivalent to here...I don’t want to deal with a bunch of idiots and pick the wrong one.

Picking up my White Z71 this week. Looking for input on levels, max tire size, etc. Heard a rumor the wheel wells were a bit larger for bigger set up. Thinking about running a 295/60/20 if possible.

Thanks

Right now fabtech and rough country confirmed the front leveling kit from the 15-20 will fit a 21,just a heads up.
Why do they only offer a leveling kit and not a lift kit? Is the body attached to the frame, like Jeep Grand Cherokee's

If your running air supsension - Contact edgymods for adjustable sensor links. You'll be able to lower or raise ride height. MY 2021 Escalade is lowered 3" using Johns links.
