You will rub both sides of bumper corner with the 20x10 -24. The front side where painted and need to trim the liner brace back. Also the rear fender side need NorCal mod to clear.

The -12 offset won't rub much and need some minor trim of the areas above.

I'm sorry, not trying to argue by any means, just trying to understand. So, I'll rub on the bumper is what you're saying? But I'm having custom bumpers built, wondering if we'd still run with bumpers built. What is the NorCal mod? Thanks again!

So running 33x12.50 MTs on my 3" level will rub with 17x9 -12? Could I get away with trimming minor plastic?

First you need to be very cautious trying to do a 3" level. The angles will be terrible and need UCAs! Stick to 2.5. That offset won't need much trim but some plastic and maybe small NorCal mod.

It's cool dude just trying to warn people putting wide wheels on square fenders with minimal lift causing rub issues. If doing different bumper then your good but still need rear fender work. You can do the x10s with large version and different bumper.

Well..... I already have the level and wheels. And looking at either the RCX or cognitive UCAs.

Is the level kit a full 3" or parts that add up to 3" total? If parts then only do 2.5" Since you have wheels then put them on and see how much trimming you need.

Its a full 3" spacer. I have the spacers on and the wheels but I'm only running the stock 265/70/17 tires. I'm gonna get new tires here in a few months. But fell in love with the atturo trail blades that only come in 33x12.50/17. Instead of the 285/70/17 (33x11.5x17)

This is what im trying to figure out! By the way, with your LED switchbacks, what wire did you put the resistor on to stop hyperflash? Is there a tutorial? I've had a set sitting in my garage for a while and my DRL just went out so it's time to rip the front end apart.

I'm not 100% sure which wire so try them out before you take my word on it. I'm about 80% sure I put the resistor on the "flash" wire, the proper term escapes me right now. It will be the brighter of the two colored wires in the harness leading to the bulb socket.

I believe my harness had a yellow, a brown and a black wire. I tapped in between the yellow and black I'm pretty sure. Just tap the wires, install the bulb and test it. If it's wrong, try tapping between the black and the other non-black wire. Good luck.

Looks good! Did you install the bumper trim brackets? Interested to see what all you trimmed.
.

My rims are 20x12 with -44 offset, so i hade to trim alot more than what procomp said. I cant add the trim brackets yet until i fab something up that fits a little better. Surprisingly enough, i didnt have to do the norcal mod yet. But il find that out once i take it through a field.

Finally got it out on Assateague today. Drove great. 2 highlights: dual battery which ran our fridge all day and the rack so much room and solid.

Im intrigued by the fridge install. You have any pics?

Always loved white tahoes, im thinking i may vinyl wrap mine or paint it. First i need to decide which type of FI i want. Anybody have good links to someone that has either? Single turbo or whiple/roots style.

Put it between the seats since it was dead space. Dual battery w spod. National Luna 50L fridge / freezer, holds enough for a long weekend. Custom mount so it sits level. You can pull it out and it runs off 12v.

Man thats definitely the best use for the dead space there. Im guessing you have an LTZ with 6 seats instead of 7? Its weird to me that LS comes with 8 seats LT with 7 and LTZ with 6.

Got my front 2" level installed on Sunday, Summit one from ebay. New 20" rims and 275 60 tires should be here this week. These are 22x9 with 285 45 tires. Before in the front I was 35 3/8 to the ground and now I'm at 37 1/4 to the ground. The rear is at 37 3/4 on the passenger side and the drivers side is 37 1/2. Which means now to dick with the air ride. I basically traded my Sierra Denali for this about a year and a half ago. Have never heard the compressor run and I tried jumping it at the relay the other night and it didn't fire up, all fuses checked out. Going to the stealership later this week for the alignment and I'm going to have them tell me what's wrong with it and fix myself.

First side took me about an hour with my 3 year old trying to help and trying to get it in without removing the nut on the ball joint. Second side took me about a half hour. Well worth it.

I still have to lengthen the rods for the ride sensors yet. No dummy lights or errors but only drove around the block to make sure didn't hear any funny noises and rechecked to make sure everything was tight.

Yes, I'm going to hack the valance too when I can find time.

Before:

After: (not level, driveway slopes down)

Got the 20s on after months of debate on to either paint or sand and polish. Went with a oem corvette silver metallic wheel paint and i love it. Added stock style lug nuts and has a 2'' front a 1'' rear spacer. Stock tires for now.. will go with a a/t tire when these wear out. And yea i work at a dealership.
