Default 26's on Avalanche?

Hey everyone new to this forum, and my first post. Just wanna say hi to the entire forum. To get to the point. I have a buddy who wants to buy 26" rims for his 02 Z66 Avalanche. His question is if any what mods would need to be done to the suspension. I was thinking spindles. If anyone has any input it would help me a lot.


Thanks,
Chris

Not much, the 26s will fill the wheel gap pretty nicely.

good lord, ride quality is going to go TO **** on 26's. If he can deal with that then just tell him to upgrade the brakes and go for it.

Too much bling for me! I'd vote for a nice set of 22"s at most...in order to save some ride quality.
