You must only drive your stuff indoors or something. Seriously, what am I missing in my life to be able to keep my vehicles as clean as yours?

The bags are a worthy addition since you are towing. They worked great on my old Tahoe towing ~6000lbs regularly. Other stability modifications I did that help with towing were tubular lca, panhard bar and Hellwig sway bars.

Appreciate the info brother! This will do it for this round of mods

Good to know there are some solid upgrades to help with towing stability!

For safety sake check the bolts on the brake pedal. We have several new Tahoes at work and nearly all the 2016's we got the brake pedal bolts were loose and one of them had the brake pedal fall off while it was being driven.
