PHOTOS!!!-First Round of Mods

[TREYR8D]

So here it is, the first round of modifications to my Tahoe. CCM Leveling Kit, 6000K Lows 5000K Fogs 35W HIDs, 20x9 Black Monsters, 285/55R20 Nitto Terra Grapplers, EBC USR Slotted Sport Rotors, Hawk LTS Brakes. Next on the list is LED Tails, Projector Headlights for those HIDs, Remove pinstripe, remove Z71 Badges, remove molding, and paint bowties.

For now, enjoy some pics. I apologize for the dark/messy garage shots, but i just got them on today and wanted to share some pics. If i get a nice free weekend i'll clean her up and have another photo op in the sun.

FYI - I had to do minimal trimming of the front plastic cover of the running boards. So just behind the rear tires. Hacksaw blade and JB Weld took care of it. I do also get a slight bit of rubbing on the front wheel well liner.

Nice! I like the Monsters . Your sig only lists 2.5" front leveling, is that right?

Zed - That's correct. I only installed the front 2.5" portion of the CCM leveling kit. After i installed the front, i measured all four corners and they were all the exact same, so i didnt put the rear spacers in. I look at it to make sure its sitting level every time i approach it in a parking lot. if i start hauling or towing and need the spacers, i'll put them in later. but for now, they're gonna sit on the shelf with all my leftover jeep parts.

really!? thats awesome, ive got the same kit and even with the rear in im not all level. but in a good way, i would rather have some front rake then cali lean...

i love those wheels, soon im looking into either those or the rockstars, with the toyo mts, but might do 305/50/20!

oh god that is awesome

Looks really good! Just my opinion but don't get rid of the Z71 badge and the "Tahoe" badge. Instead just remove the TA and leave HOE.

Unfortunately, last night i had to do a lot more trimming than i expected. Driving it around yesterday i noticed some rubbing after 1 full turn of the steering wheel. When i got home and evaluated it, i had rubbed clean through the well liner on the right side. When i started evaluating the turning while watching i noticed that the tire would hit the outside edge of the front fascia/air dam and move the whole front plastic part. NOT GOOD!!! After doing some detailed looking around, i noticed a bunch of scrapes underneath and some broken plastic mounting pieces. So this leads me to believe the previous owner of this truck bottomed the front end into the ground or was in a low speed front end collision. The whole front fascia piece seems to be tilted downward. also there is a gap large enough to get my fingers in between the top of the grill and the hood. In the end, i just completely removed the air dams, trimmed the wheel well liner, and zip tide it back out of the way. NO RUBBING NOW!!!!! but it did require more trimming than i had anticipated.

I even went with the 285s over the 305s to avoid trimming....

To cover up the hole i created by removing the air dams, I plan on buying some sheet aluminum and creating a cover to fill the hole and secure the bottom of the wheel liner to.
