No idea, think $50/wheel but it was 3 years ago or some shit. The limited isn't dropped from the factory it just has the kit which makes it look lower. The only difference on the limited were the bilstein shocks, might have stiffer springs up front but they sat the same.

It might not be a 5/6 but to what i believe the limiteds were lower tho..
i pulled this up over the internet, not trying to be a dick or anything, but i thought i remembered them being lower that's all
"had re-indexed front torsion bars and re-arched rear leaf springs -- dropping the body 2" (or 1.125" depending on which GM press release you read) below the standard Tahoe 4x4's height. A Bell Tech 28mm anti-roll sway bar and 46mm re-valved Bilstein shock absorbers were also standard equipment"




If you don't mine me asking how much does it cost to powder coat all wheels? you got anymore pics of the limited?

I called around a month or 2 ago and asked 5 different companies a price. They said about 75 bucks a wheel. But thats here in ohio, maybe your prices will be different.

Limiteds were 2wd otherwise those wheels wouldn't fit your truck. I can believe the rear sway bar is larger but it's a baby compared to my 32mm rear. Torsion bars came in the 4wd models and they never made a 4wd limited...internets is wrong yo.

Front settled to 31 3/4 rear is 31 1/2 so it should be dead level in a week or maybe lower. Snapped a couple pics tonight

They make a black grill and he will get one eventually. It's an unmarked interceptor scooped it for $3200 with 60k on the clock. I'm looking for a lightning 5.4 to throw in it along with a T04E and a built trans.

what year is it? the reason i ask is cause the 03+ ones can only do that kind of swap from what i read (they did a frame upgrade on 03).

2000. I'm sure I can make it fast might require a plasma cutter and some welding. Wonder if an lq4 and a t-56 would fit :hmm:

Doesn't that one have the 03-04 cobra drivetrain? I always liked this one:

the plate is fitting on the vic.

you should have kept the OBS and the denali. though i never realized how bad ass your nali was until you put it up next to the limited.:waytogo:

I'm hoping he will sell it to me at some point so I can build a turbo'd 408 and bag it. Makes me love the denali that much more...I guess it's justification for the large increase of truck payments.

Are the limited easy to find? I would love to have another one and slam it like my old Yukon, maybe lower. Either another OBS SUV or a NBS of any sort to 6/8

They're pretty rare think they made 5000 or so iirc. Search around I'm sure you could find one and the paint is really good on the limited.
