*Pics* White Z71 (08) with leveling kit

[Zed 71]

Yeah, I love the new look. I'm not a huge fan of front tints though. I tinted the front of my wife's C350 and there's some distortion from the film that I notice when I'm driving.

If I could find a way to widen the stance about 1" on each side while keeping the stock wheels I would do it.

I have tint on all my vehicles and there is no distortion. A good quality tint should not change the outward view except for darkness of course.

As for changing the stance, look into Spyder Traxx spacers. I think that is how the company name is spelt..

Not of the bowties...but I will get some. I too popped the back off exposing the chrome, but ended up painting it black too. The front looks great in black, but I may end up changing both of them anyway.

Here is a partial shot of the front bowtie, during the 24 hrs that the CCM/Nittos were on. I just had 3 wheels replaced where the clear coat had peeled off. The fella leaning on my mirror helped me tremendously.

Looks great!

I googled Spyder Traxx and it looks like they don't make anything for chevy wheels, but I found spacers from Rough Country that look like they might work. More research to follow.

Why'd you take the CCM off? Did you take the Nittos off too?

I just didn't like the look. Maybe it was my OCD or something, but it just wasn't what I wanted. I think it would be awesome on a Z-71, but IMO it just did something to the LTZ. I got my buddy to swap the Nittos for Michelin LTX M/S 2's in the stock size. Just one of those things!

Question for Wakinvol

@ Wakinvol... What size Nitto TG did you have on your LTZ when the CCM was installed (in the picture). Nevermind! I saw your reply to me in another topic with your tire size. Thanks

Love the lifted look on your NNBS. BTW, bug deflector looks good too.

 

[Millsp]

Looks good.
I have a 2008 white z71 too and I'm putting a 2" front end leveling kit on it tomorrow and I'm looking to get some bigger, more aggressive looking tires. I was wondering what size tires you put on and if there is any rub with them?

After lurking around these forums looking for advice on a good leveling kit for my 08 Z71 Tahoe I finally pulled the trigger. I decided to go with the CCM 2.5" front/1" rear levelling lift kit. I also got some Nitto Trail Grabber M/Ts (18" stock wheels). I wanted the Hoe to little bigger/tougher look, but to make it really subtle. I just got her back from the shop this afternoon, here are the before/after pics!


I have the same exact car and I am installing a 2" front end leveling kit later this week and I am looking to get some bigger and more aggressive looking tires. I was wondering what size these are and if they rub at all.

 

[Wakinvol]

My Nittos were 275/60-20's...they rubbed a little with and without the CCM, but nothing that couldn't be trimmed and hidden. It was only on the front fender liner. I didn't take any pics of it but it is an easy remedy.

They're 285/65/18 Nitto Trail Grappler M/T's. They don't rub unless you go full steering wheel turn, and its still minimal.

 

[Zed 71]

Not sure how you guys (with Z71s) are fitting 285/65/18s with minimal rubbing. I have that size and it rubbed like crazy (full lock). It feels like it was going to rip off the front valence. I trimmed ~2 inches from the front valence, need full articulation while off-road.

Truck looks great!

Did your Tire pressuer sensor light come on with this set up??

 

[Snacky]

Looks great! I can't wait to do mine. Quick question... who makes that bug shield you have there?

 

[cjweb11]

Don't think I've ever seen that done, whats underneath?

Nothing underneath, just gets rid of what I consider to be ugly plastic around the nerf bars. Heres some pics of it without the nerf bars on at all and some with the bars but without the plastic

Man that looks good. I may remove that plastic from mine.

I've got a white 2013 and am wanting to do the same. Was wondering what size tires you went with, 285-65-18?

It looks great. If you don't mind me asking, how much did the shop charge you to install this?
