I picked these up Friday brand new take offs for $400. Even had the TPMS valve stem so we just flipped my boxes over without having to recalibrate.
#1 is a fantastic pic, and in #2 the truck still looks great! What are those wheels off of?

2nd pic i took in my driveway yesterday so i could look at my truck to see how i felt about it. It was really dirty too.

The wheels in the 2nd picture are factory Sierra 17's

I've actually been toying with the idea of having my 20s powder-coated low-gloss black . . .

EDIT: $400 for take-offs is a STEAL. Mind me asking where you picked those up?
CL. Kid was asking $650 and i offered him $350. After 2days i got a text saying he would take $400. Don't you love it when plans work out!

This was after i bought the LTZ Tahoe 20's and decided not to put them on my truck and sold them for $200. So actually i spent $200 on them

Vatozone 2"drop shackles and removed factory block. My back is actually 1/2" lower, one day I'll get some drop struts to level front out.

Ok time to report on the tb. Now that it's on and have done some extensive driving, it does not seem to be as fast as before. It defintely is snappier off the line and throttle response is crisper, but once I reach 2500 rpm is where the truck seems to lag a little somewhat. Maybe the fuel trims and a/f ratios are off a tad, don't know until I can analyze a driving log. Gonna try and get this fixed asap.

I can't honestly claim any loss/gains as I just changed tires/wheels 2days after I installed it.
Did u unplug your battery for 30mins?

Mine feels Alot stronger!

Yep, I unplugged the battery for at least 30 mins man, Im just gonna wait and see if there is anything off with the tune. It does seem alot crisper off the line.
