FINALLY got the escalade roof rack on my tahoe. took a few pics. Let me know what you guys think...

btw.. the end caps are a ***** to get on.

JUST got them on so it's dark out but it's better then nothing... I actually (the one and only time) took my digital camera out instead of the iphone.

I actually bought mine from Miguel on this forum. He did a roof rack delete on his nbs tahoe so I just messaged him and he ended up giving me a great deal on them so props to him for hookin me up! His was black so I had to get them freshly painted summit white which I'm kinda glad I did so it looks new. He gave me original hardware/bolts but I used the ones that came with my nnbs tahoe. So anyways if anyone wants a stock oem 08 tahoe roof rack pm me I'll sell for cheap!

Yea I want to just drop the back 2" to level it out. I like the clearance I have in the front. If I had 295's or smaller I would drop the front but I have 305's and they rub not even at a full rotation when going in reverse. I imagine dropping the front would make that worse (avoiding cutting the plastic wheel well interior) since it already does rub. Yea i'll take a pic next time I'm in my car.

You will not need to trim the front wheel wells. As you know I have the same wheels and I have 305 tires and didn't have to trim with my 2/3kit. Same amount of rubbing really in the front. But in the back is where you are going to trim. Even if you lower it 2 inches you will have to trim the back. I would still go with a 2/3 kit it will look so much better.

Did you lose any ride quality with your drop? Thanks for the info. Yea yours looks real good with that drop. How much total did you spend on everything related to the drop (parts, install, etc.)?
