New Lift and Tires

[protonvx]

Went from 3/4 drop with 305/40/22s to 2.5/1 lift with 285/55/22s.

Yes, I did have some rubbing, but nothing that a heat gun and some trimming couldn't fix. IMO, I really didn't trim much. This not intended on being an offroad machine by any means, just light mud, easy hunting trails, and snow. If I wanted to go offroading, I will either need a body lift or another 2" or so off suspension lift.

I am running the bilstein 5100 adjustable struts and shocks and a homemade (I run a machine shop) spacer to give me roughly 2.5" up front and a 1" rear coil spring spacer.

First pic is of the lift with the old wheels/tires and the second is with the lift and new tires.

Nice, I think I like it better up in the air a little bit, IMO a 2.5/1 with 33's is damn near perfect for these trucks.

Here is a pic of it lowered.

I would have went with 33s, but I didn't like how they looked on 22" rims. I also think the nnbs trucks look better with 22s.

Looked good before and even better after!!

Lift looks awesome! Are those the Denali/Escalade ESV running boards with the chrome trim? Looks good... if so, did you buy them or did it come with your vehicle?

The running boards were put on when Regency did their conversion. They are not Escalade or Denali running boards, I have never seen them on anything else.

Oh I see... Is that a chrome trim built into the board?
