Well done :). I still cannot believe that thing fits in your garage! You have to post some pics of that! Any rub at full flex?

Looks purdy good....except for that stupid longhorns logo on the back. ;)

Any brake upgrades? Can't really tell in the pic...

What about gears? My Tahoe is a dog with 3.73s and 33s....I can't imagine 35s!

No break upgrades yet and still running original gears. Wheels are actually pretty light and it's not a dog at all. Gets up and goes just fine. Will not regear as this is strictly an around town vehicle with the occaasional mud hole.

MIGHT do an brake upgrade but have not seen a problem with factory yet. I stopped on a dime the other day to avoid getting t-***** by someone running a red light.

he has a Z71 which comes with 4.10 gears so he doesnt feel any power loss. Looks great!

^ Yeah the 4.10 were options in 07, not sure if they came standard later on.

A few people on here asked for some more pics so here they are.

Since the lift I've added a 1.5" pair of wheel spacers to the back to even out the track width after the lift. Front is 84" and rear is now 84". Rear WAS 81" after the lift. Confused? If you decide to lift your Hoe your front track width is going to increase (for MOST quality lifts) by about 3" total.

Here are the pics:

I was wondering on the rear spacer. I just installed a 6" BDS lift a few weeks ago and notice that the front tires stick's out pass the fender flares and the rear are even, it that a issue. Do i need to get the spaces and if so how much are they and can i install them. Thanks I got one other question to ask if you got time.

The spacers will run you about $100 for the pair on jcwhitney.com and yes you can intall them yourself.

Hey i was wondering if you have the Stabliauto braking system? If so has it come on when you make turns going about 25 to 40miles per hour.

Thanks

Are you talking about stabilitrack (or whatever it is called)? It should not come on during the conditions you described. It seems like it is sensing a difference in wheel speeds among the tires. What is the difference between front and rear track widths with your setup?

FYI, I have not seen Seel on this board for some time. It seems like you are having a lot of issues with your lift. I suggest making a new thread listing them and hopefully people will chime in.
