Can't wait to see it finished! What kind of lift did you go with?
Its a superlift, with RCX crossmember brackets and shocks, and Pro Comp springs. So its my new "hybrid" lift, the only reason for the changes was because of the superlift kit not having the right drop down bracket for the 4 dr tahoe and not including the aal's.

looks like fun times ahead.
Indeed !

More work from the past day. Will finish up the work and the rear end this weekend. and then off to the alignment shop. That lower diff. mount tab would NOT want to line up, it took like 3 hours with a BFH just to get it in :biggun:.

Lookin' good.

I would of sprayed the frame and wheel wells while everything was off. 'Bout 5 cans of Duplicolor undercoating would of been good.

I know wut you mean about that lower tab. I had to pull my front diff earlier this summer to fix some internals, I hope I never have to do that thing again.

What size tires are you going with after the additional lift?

O i was planning to, i even bought the paint. but i got impatient with the weather here for allowing to get work done so i skipped it. i will be doing the wheel wells though.

Im going 37's. But probably not till spring or so because i just bought my 35's in may and im out of cash. Everytime i buy something for this thing i go out and buy something else 3 months later and then i have to get rid of the old/ nearly new stuff :emotions122:
