i'm pretty happy with this kit so far... what do you guys think?

front fenders sit at 40 and the rear are at 40 3/4.

Looks great man! How long was the install time?

 

[08z71tahoe]

took us about 4 hours...

how do those trail grapplers ride? do they hum bad on the road? i'm about to buy new tires and those have caught my eye, but a friend of mine has mud grapplers and they r so f'in loud

That looks really cool man!

Look at the Toyo Open Country M/T's... those would look good too. Do you know if the lift you put on is compatible with Avalanche LTZ's w/ AutoRide? Looks great btw!!!

 

[08z71tahoe]

Thanks guys... I used to have 35 12.5 r20 on my lifted ram an they rode well. But the tread life was an issue.

This lift won't work with auto ride. I think u would need the rancho 4" kit that's like $2k.

Looks badass man!

Looks SICK. Is the rear just a spacer?

Yea I looked up that rancho 4" but you need $450 worth of parts on top of the $2k kit you will need. I found a fabtech 6" kit that's $2200 with everything so I guess i'll have to go that route if I really want 35's.. anyways it looks great man, and it'll look even better with bigger beefier tires!

yeah, above 45mph the have a nice rumble. Nothing the radio can't cancel out. comes with the territory. it isn't like ridiculous or anything.

That looks awsome, thats the kit i was lookin at and now im getting it for sure.

 

[08z71tahoe]

Yeah, a rear spacer, but it also comes with shock extenders sway bar extensions and a brake line relo kit... The front is a spacer and a new a arm, but u can use ur factory a arm if u cut off the bump stop.

That ranch kit is awasome, but $2,500 for a 4" lift plus the install is kind of redicilous.

And I've been searching Craigslist for some new wheels and tires... Don't feel the urge to spend $1300 on new tires at discount.

Thanks for the complements guys.

Looks good. Do you have install pics? Curious of CV angles.

 

[08z71tahoe]

Read in the other thread that your rig is 2WD so no CVs. Never mind the additional pics, but thanks anyway.
