I did my rollpan and pillars first because I couldn't decide on what to do for wheels and suspension. I don't know if I should lift or lower it. In my Silverado I ran a 2/4 drop and a 3/1 lift. Basicly stock rake hurts my eyes, more so with these wheels....hahaha.

I'm bored here's a poll.

What number do you have in your head for a lift on it, I wouldn't go to rediculous but I think lift it, not enough people do it to these yr trucks and it looks badass with the right wheels/ tires

I like both lifted and lowered...but just because so many of us have lowered out trucks...it'd be nice to see more lifted ones...I say a nice 9 inch lift :)

Keys, coil spacers, 33s, and colormatch. Get some bilstein 5100s too.

i would have searched harder for escalade ones if i could do it over i think. plus now that i have such a smooth backend, i think i have to pull the door molding and dump the tailpipe.

I say lift cuz it looks good and is logical. You are very much less likely to scrape up your bumpers and such plus if you get big mud tires then you can go muddin and clean it up and be a clean truck too

50/50 lol. Good poll :)

I'm against bags and riding on the ground.. but I love the way an agressive stance looks with 24's.. very proportional.

Then again.. JennaBear's red tahoe... omg.. i'm in love with that rig.

Also, dropping 3/5 is much cheaper than lifting 5.. at least I think so.

here's the plan...

just drop the rear 2" and run gray silverado ss 20's with 275/55 (31.91") to fill the wheel wells. pull the moldings, buff the truck, and add '07+ tahoe emblems to the doors.

buy a 99-02 regular cab stepside silverado, do a 5/7 drop and hd hood, put the ss 20's on that truck (maybe paint or powdercoat), then get some '07+ silverado or tahoe 20's for my tahoe.

Ask yourself a few questions like- Are you ever going to take it offroad? IFS suck's offroad inless you spend a lot of money. Lifted Chevy's are ******* front tires. Lifted trucks use more fuel. But lowered trucks need to be driven more carefully. They look good either way. It's all up to you!
