So, I sold my truck the other day, and picked up a clean 2012 Tahoe LTZ. 71k on the clock, fully loaded. Silver with black leather. Absolutely love it so far.

Plans are to do 20% tint. BDS or Cognito 4" lift with Fox 2.0 c/o's. 22x10s, thinking AF Decoy SS, or Hostile Exiles in chrome. Not sure of tires yet, but they will be 33s. I'm going to pull all the badging off. Full LED upgrade on all the lights, not messing with HIDs this go round. Probably going to add Billet bowties front and back.

This is what I plan on starting with over the next couple months. Want to do more of a clean build this time. CAI and tune might come later on.

Been looking at what 4" lifts are available for this year Tahoe, and it looks as if its BDS or Cognito. I think Cognito with Fox C/O's is the direction I'm gonna go. Keep the track width in.

Debadged and did a quick wash. Didnt get to pinstripe though. I'm going to get a heat gun to help with that..

Think I'm gonna go with Toyo AT2's. Wanted the R/T, but no 33x12.5x22.

So, I went ahead and order a CCM level kit for the time being. Not sure as though I still wanna go 4" lift yet, but I gotta at least level it out for the time being. Looking at pics, the level seems to look a little better than a 4". To me, there just seems to be too much of a gap in the wheel well with 33's. Still prolly going to go with the Fox's though. I'm guessing if I keep the level (2.5" in front, 1" in rear) that I will have some trimming to do with a x10 wheel and 33's?
