Got a 08 Avalanche my 2nd post

[Freddie]

Alright been lurking on here for awhile and I just bought a 08 Avalanche LT and can't wait to start changing it up. I have been a member of the GMFS and FSC for awhile so I'm coming from a 07 NNBS truck. Here are some pics before I start going crazy

Any advice welcomed

They are stuck to the ceiling

 

[Freddie]

Is it my post count the reason?

 

[07Burb]

No, where ever they are hosted at are upside down and need to be rotated

looks good - removed the badges,pin strip, and pick up some black rims.

Im definitely plan on debadging, remove the pin strip, 22's and lower a little. I am torn on the roof rack though. I am going to remove the crossbars and see how that looks first before removing the whole thing.

I may look into it....just trying to stay away from too much chrome. I will have a couple polished items, grille, wheels etc. Does it bolt up directly?

no it doesn't at ALL. Believe me I know I did it first hand lol.

lol that sucks...I'm thinking of just taking the cross bars off and see how that looks first before replacing it or just taking it off.

 

[felixgun]

I did it but it was a pain in the ass. Yea it would def look better without cross bars.

 

[Freddie]

I may take them off this weekend....how hard is it to take off...the cross bars that is?

 

[felixgun]

You unscrew it and it's off. Take the rack off with the cross rails on it. 1/10 on the hardness scale 10 being the hardest.

 

[Freddie]

Cool thanks so I guess I need to take the entire rack off to get the cross bars off.

 

[felixgun]

Yea but it's super easy to do thankfully.

 

[Freddie]

Thanks.....thats good to hear.

Have no fear, when modifying just add beer.

3/5 drop
Front: 2" belltech spindles, 1" bt coils, stock struts
Rear: 5"+ new belltech coils from tony, airlift helper bags (60748), rear hardware kit, djm lowering shocks, and free travel mod.
Haven't decided on rims yet. Still have to debadge, black out bowties and grill.

 

[Freddie]

Very nice...hows the ride? I should have mine back tomorrow and the pics will go up...hope it looks good. I'm doing a 2/4 instead.

 

[Dizigidy]

Actually rides very nice. No rubbing full lock either way or when hitting big dips. Body roll is significantly reduced. Which I love! The rear coils absorb everything and don't feel "bumpy" at all. My truck also floats down the freeway like a cadillac. I couldn't have been more happy with my setup.

 

[Freddie]

On your helpers how hard was that to install? How much psi are you running in them. I bottom out on big dips if Im going to fast. I'm just afraid if I fill the cab up or put anything in the bed I will bottom out even more.
