over the past month the Tahoe has gotten some replacement parts and this past week. finally upgrades.

Installed a 4l65E trans last month. This week, Rancho Front shocks, Rough Country Torsion keys/leveling keys, and a 1.5" rear coil spacers from Summit. and finally some nitto terra grappler tires (285/70r17). From the ground to the fender the truck now sits at 39" on all 4 corners. rides nice and smooth and the tires arent loud at all. got everything on just in time for the snow and crap to hit us tonight. Billet grill. black painted emblem, black headlights/turn signals

near future mods: remove clutch fan and install some LS1 fbody fans. 160* t-stat. reduce tq management by 80%, and replace the front bumper. Fab a cold air intake. and possibly an electric cutout.

now for the before and after pics:

Before (when i bought the truck 3 years ago):


NOW:

 

very nice, ive always liked the way these looked lifted just a little with nice tires

 

agreed. i like the tires to fit the wheel house without the body being too tall from them. i highly dislike the body being raised so high the tires arent at least 1/4 inside the house.

 

looks good man, nitto terra grapplers are pretty cool tires. i like the T/A in your sig to

 

Looks good! I'd like to see it all shined up though! I would tint your front windows and take the badges off. Just my 2 cents. Nice hoe though!

 

Nice tahoe, love those in 4wd

 

Thanks. i really like the tread design on the TG's and the price is infinitely better than the BFG's or michelins. And the truk is my tow rig for the TA for track days

i plan to tint the windows to whatever is legal nowadays. i get pulled over way to much for the window tint in the TA (5%). VA is a state where if you get pulled over multiple times for the same infraction your fine gets larger each time. my last fine was $340

Thanks. I wouldnt own a truck unless it was a 4x4 i find trucks in 2x4 pointless unless its for drag racing.

mine is the family/tow rig/off roading type

 

Remove the window gaurds and running boards and it's perfect

 

have to keep the board because its the family vehicle. wife and kids would be pissed if they cant get in it. ill probably swap them for the z71 nerf bars though.

the vent gaurds were my idea so i can have the windows cracked open on rainy/snowy days. (i just cant be "sealed" in a car. i always have to have a window open)

 

I can't blame ya on the window gaurds. I had them on my truck and loved the functionality of em but hated the looks.
