x3.

Get the Black Bear Performance tune for the ECM and TCM, and you WON'T be disappointed. You will get the speedo adjustment as a free side benefit. And, with a Black Bear Performance tune, you will be able to get future free tune adjustments from them, any time that you add a mod that could impact performance.

Your speedo will be off like 2-3mph after 55mph... just use a gps one time and remember how far off it is. No need to spend money on getting it recalibrated if u ask me.

OMG ,WHAT A NIGHTMARE:flame: , The leveling kit went in no problem but the tires are turning out to be a nightmare. After everything I read and asked the 275/65/20 don't fit , so I went to a 265/60/20 and STILL RUB.

What's the offset on the wheels? Pics? I'm surprised you're rubbing. That's not even a 33" tire. I'm running 275/70/18 (33.2") with just a few turns on the stock keys.

Something's not right. What are your fender heights?

offset is 31. Here are pics of before and after. I heated the fender liners with a heat gun

Could the troubles have been because of the Z71 flares? Or the extra half inch width of the wheel with the stock offset? The 20 inch wheels used on the 900s are 8.5" wide.

The flares were not in the way but you are correct about the 9 inch wheels . I think if I went with 265 instead of 275 I would of been ok .

@Shumif1 The black accents compliment the color of that Tahoe exceptionally well. Looks great man. I am running 1.75 inch wheel spacers on factory 20inch wheels and about 3.5 inches of lift and I rub like crazy. I don't think there is anyway to fix it until I get different wheels.
