And longer upper and lower control arms...
And inevitably extending the half shafts...

Designer was like " hey this will look good for a sema truck "
Camo on street queens doesn't look good imo. Especially pearl or metallic like that.
OK camo on anything doesn't look good to me. But I'm a city boy.

Well, bit the bullet and picked up some Michigan Metal Works upper control arms. Needed to get the alignment straight because it bothers the shit out of me. I ended up going with the 3-6 degree adjustment option since I plan to drop it another inch all the way around.
Which that means I will have some gently used DJM uppers with both stock and offset bushings available for anyone that may be interested...
Now to finish the garage so that I can actually use it to hold my cars and do work.
Then, I'll need to rework the wheel wells, replace the plastics inside them, fix the bumper lights, smooth and reclear the headlights, lower the front bumper a tad, then to top it off, color match the black plastics all around the Tahoe...
Oh, and fix the damn paint and wheels in a proper manner.

Know what I hate more than anything when trying to "buid" a car...
Taking funds to do maintenance....
Colder weather pulled P0171/174 so based on everything I'm reading, I get to take the intake manifold off and replace the gasket. Which also means that I need to replace the knock sensors, knock sensor harness, oil pressure sensor, intake manifold gasket, spark plugs, plug wires and the other gasket (can't think of the name) with the knock seals...
All because I am in there and have no clue if the shit's been replaced before.
I want to use the money I have set aside for fun parts damnit.
At least I'll be getting the upper control arms in sometime soon (I hope) and will be able to get this thing down another inch all around (no mo fender gap) WITH the wheels aligned properly...

Valley cover gasket is the other one. You can always do a billet valley cover for "fun parts" lol. Of course you'd never see it again...

Ooh the intake manifold is such a fun job. Only took me all day to do the gasket, pressure sensor, and knock sensors.
Just be glad you don't have a supercharger in the way.
