This is my 2008 Tahoe Texas Edition. It’s bagged on 26” DUB Futures, raised upper control arms in the front and two link in the rear. Fuel cell and fully tubbed. Interior is all black with gator skin inserts.

My plans are:

-Repaint black and add graphic
-Repair wheels and change color to a dark grey
-Change out leather to all black with suede inserts and stitching to match wheel color
-Add Magnuson TVS1900 Supercharger
-Add SSBC brakes
-Update air management to Accuair
-Updare stereo to Alpine GM-X009
-Change out lighting and grille
-Get all factory options back working

Do you have any pictures of the suspension? I've been tossing around the idea of bagging my Tahoe.
Wont let me upload it. Says it’s too large. I did post one in the street suspension section I found from previous owner.

Nice. How do you like the e-level? I’ve been thinking about a new air management system for my bagged and bodied Silverado.

You better not! Go buy another with a 5.3 and bag that one! LOL

When I posted this, I was thinking more along of the lines of how the Ram trucks are set up, like the air suspension lifts for off road and lowers for street use. I would never chop up my Tahoe for it to be like this one is. I do like the Tahoe here, but this application is different then what I was wanting
