Congrats....

Off topic, did you adjust your torsion bars for the 285's to fit. I am wanting to put 285/70r-17's on mine. Just wondering..

Congradulations!!! I know how it feels. We just got done building this:
It has taken us a while to get it done, but the garage is 30' deep so the Burb fits perfectly. Good Luck and enjoy it

Maybe I could cut a little doggie door for the hitch to poke through when I back in

You don't have to, I have a friend with a stock 02 Z71 who put on 285/75-16's without cranking, they work fine. But yeah, I did crank mine a little bit, about 1-1.5" extra height. I also put a set of supersprings in the back to level out the truck.

Thanks for the compliment. Wish you all the best with the new place. Home ownership is a great thing. Until the mortgage note comes in the mail

And the best part of home ownership is...LARGER TAX REFUNDS!
