Tough crowd is right.
I'm curious how long the lift has been on?
Sorry if that was covered.
I put d25 coils on my ram, took a good 3 months for it to settle in.

Tough crowd lol
It's not my style either. Cali lean or prerunner look only looks good on trucks imo, like with full travel suspension and fiberglass fenders, exc.
You shouldnt have to measure anything, just tell us what lift kit you installed on it.
And I think a small drop in the front and some meaty tires with American forces would be :boobs:
Haha, I know it man! It's all good though, I can respect differing opinions. I've got a 3 inch leveling kit up front, and that's it. Yeah, I would absolutely looove to get like a 7.5" suspension lift and some 22x14 Forces, buuuuut that's too many monies, haha!

Thanks man.

Uhmmm, I wanna say the lift has been on for about 4-5 months. What do you mean "settle in" if you don't mind me asking?

I haven't really noticed anything different, so I guess that's why I'm asking what you mean by it, haha.

I actually like the look of your truck I just think it need MT tires and not street tires. :eek:
Oh, my bad man. I guess I just assumed you were ragging on it like everyone else. Sorry about that.
I'll tell you what, if you wanna send me a set of 35" MT's, I'll get em mounted and post a pic just for you! :p

Reminds me of a lowrider, maybe thats where the style came from, personally idc cuz its your truck and not mine and I would hate to make anyone feel like this isn't a safe zone to share any idea regarding anything. No negative vibes ftw.

Beautiful car. Thanks a lot man, I really appreciate that. I figured that this forum was full of car enthusiasts who could appreciate anyone's style, but apparently not. I appreciate the change of pace man, haha! Thanks again!

I admit we've been a bit ******* you and I'm glad to say you've taken it all in stride. But you also can see that we pretty much all agree on certain things. I think part of the issue here is that you titled your thread with the statement that it was quite a transformation and many on here have done very extensive work to our vehicles and at what point it becomes a "transformation" is largely personal so some may have taken that statement as an affront to all the work they've done on their rigs. So you got hit twice- by asking us to consider what most would say is minor work as a transformation, and then by putting a lifted truck with squat up for comment. I'm glad you like it, and we all can pretty much agree that in the end that's all that matters. Like you said, it's your money. Don't be scared off this site by this, please feel welcome to be here and part of this family. You belong here just as much as the rest of us.

I think reds heart is in the right place but this should be the #1 social media rule.

#1. If you don't like it, keep on scrollin. Thats why theres a like button and not an unlike button, becuz if you unlike something, right thing to do is to keep movin and DONT COMMENT. It is as simple as nursery school, " If you don't have something nice to say then don't saying anything at all."

But he DID ask for comments....and this is a forum, not social media. Social media is much worse.

I feel you red, guess I should be specific "positive based comments" & "forum that we socialize on".

^this.

If you're only an inch off, I vote to decrank those keys a touch. I am assuming your front "lift kit" is a set of keys.. Yes? Also, what do your CV angles look like? Are they pretty severe at this point?

Oh, shoot man. It's no skin off my back really! I appreciate everyone's style, and didn't mean to try and say that mine was any more of a build than some of y'all's. I'm by no means saying that this was a "build" that I've put thousands of dollars in to or anything like that, I just wanted to show off the progress I've made.

Haha, heck no y'all didn't scare me off! This has been the most helpful forum I've ever been a part of, and I will continue to post here asking for help for as long as I have my Tahoe! You guys are SUPER helpful, even though some of you can be assholes. /s ;)

I still enjoy it here man. Trust me, I totally understand people not like the whole squat thing, it's not for everybody! BUT, that's why I did it for me, and not for anyone else!

What torsion bars do you expect him to "crank down". His has coilovers, the Tahoe hasn't had torsion bars since '06.

And I really don't have anything nice to say about that, so I'm not gonna say it.
