Looks nice. How much did install run you? I'm looking at doing that to mine, but trying to get a ball park on install costs.

Looks good. Why did you go with steel wheels though?

Thanks for the comments. Sorry I haven't had a chance to answer all the questions yet. I'll get back and answer them later today I hope.

bmxdannyo - I guess you know that N fab has that pic of your truck as the pic for their light bar on the website?

I have seen my truck on there. I don't mind but would like the licence plate blocked out since they didn't ask. Not to big of a deal I don't think, more of a compliment then anything else.

The leveling/lift kit costs about $150 with shipping from CCM.
Installation of the kit cost about $100.
The wheels were just about $500 from Summit Racing. That included the wheels, center caps, and a McGard lug nut/lock kit.
The tires ran just about $1,500/$1,600 including installation and the trimming that was needed to keep them from rubbing.
So the whole thing the way I did it ran about $2,300.

I'm not going to de-chrome right now at least. I may go back to the factory 20's at some point. So I want to leave that option open. I'm not a fan of chrome though. I bought the LTZ for all the options it had including the tow package and the two-speed transfer case and other stuff. Not for the chrome.

I went with 17" steel wheels because I wanted to set this up to be able to go off-road. Also, I like the look. I can bounce over curbs and other things without cringing now!

The wheels are 17x8. The tires are 285/70R17's.

Thinking about putting the ccm kit on my avalanche. I have Nitto Terra Grappler 305/50/20's on now and I'd like to be a little higher. Do you guys think the tires would look too small?

No they won't. It's not a huge difference but enough to notice. The kit is only $150 and the install is very easy. Can you do it yourself? If so, and you really don't like it, you could easily take it off. I'm positive you wouldn't though. It really just gives it a little more "attitude".

Nice. It's actually rubbing a bit when I'm in reverse so I'm hoping it'll help a little bit in that aspect. Now I need to hunt down the cheapest place to buy it online.

Yes. I actually called and made the order over the phone. Quick and easy...using the number on the website.

Sweet thanks for the info Luke.

Is this the one you bought?

http://www.ccmoffroad.com/shop/index.php?l=product_detail&p=38

It's 129.99 on their website i'm guessing shipping was ~$11?

Also Luke, I see you had it on an LTZ so you do have AutoRide. Did it mess with it at all or everything was good to go? I'm about to pull the trigger on this as soon as I get a confirmed answer.

Mine is a LTZ, and the cost was $129 + shipping. I had those same concerns so I called CCM direct. They said it would work...and they were correct. No problems with the autolevel/autoride. The only mod I made was the grinding off of the top nipple on the struts to allow clearance. Everything was fine when I took it off and went back stock. I posted a thread on instillation how-to hints that make it a piece of cake to put on. It is fairly easy

(on a lighter note I found some cheap fender flares that mimic the z-71 ones...makes me want to get them and another CCM and do it all again!)
