I shelved the drop kit and 24’s and went with 5” Lift w/ 35’s. Rides better than new!!!

Looks really good man.

What size rims?
Any trimming required up front for clearance?
Did you have to over-ride the factory MRC? If so, what’d you use to do that?

Thank you.

Wheels are Method NV 20x9 with Toyo MT 35x12.5R20.
Yes, I had to trim front bumper, remove plastic rock guard on fender and hammer back and cut some plastic and fender/firewall insulation material. I also had to slide the oem automatic steps back a little bit. They are adjustable.
The BDS lift kit with Fox adjustable coil-over shocks is the best way to go. And yes the MRC has to be deleted with the only real option in my opinion, the Xineering shock simulators.
Everything works perfect. I also put on a custom machined upper control arm from Mazzulla Offroad and Wilwood 16” rotors w/ 6 piston calipers. Did Fox shocks in rear with Wilwood 14” rotors w/ 4 piston calipers. I switch out the OEM Yukon XL Denali coils for New OEM Z71 Suburban coils. It just made sense since Z71 coils are specifically different than any other rear coil.
I will take a bunch of nice pictures and probably start a story or thread or whatever this is called to help show people that are interested.
I did a lot of research and spared no expense. All I can say is it’s 100x better than stock or lowered.

Ordered the full set of leather seat skins to replace all of the cloth seating surfaces. If anyone can point me in the right direction to find directions on the seat skin replacement, I’d greatly appreciate it

^ yup

you could use 2 people, string & tape to mark it off. mark it a little long, so its easier to clean up the line after.

much cheaper than the PPV version

ya that's what I was thinking, I just need to measure a basic sidewalk height and then add about 1/2" to that and then measure from the ground up on the valance on each end and then make a line across, maybe use some fishing line and then mark it with a black marker.

I used a reciprocating saw on mine. Used the topmost bend as my main line and extended it to the edge with painters tape, marked, cut then ran a pair of needle nose pliers along the cut to scape the debris and clean up any burrs. Turned out nice and just gave me a whole lot of ground clearance without a lift. Looks identical to a PPV w/o the cost.

I feel kind of stupid now I was looking at it again yesterday and realized there is a extra bottom piece screwed on that I can just take off and it should give me just enough clearance.

Mine as well, but in order to unscrew it on a 2017 model, the entire nose needs to be removed as many of the screw heads are otherwise inaccessible. After several options were attempted, I chose the option requiring least effort mentioned above.

hmm, I haven't looked at it that close yet I just was walking up to it in the parking lot and saw the line across and I thought hell I can just follow the line then as I got closer I realized it was a separate piece I stuck my hand under and felt a bolt on the outside edge, I'll check it out today
