Default New Pics.....Leveled out

Leveled out the truck this weekend, removed 1" lift block out back and installed 2" drop shackles.

Also removed the Z71 decals. I'm waiting on my new Z71 Tahoe Emblems.

Also, the pics show the door trim moulding removed and the LT emblem from the tailgate. Oh, and painted door handles that I did a while back.

Enjoy....

Before......

Thanks guys, means a lot. Its wierd, I guess I was so used to seeing it stock, that it has taken a while for me to get used to it leveled out. But the more I look at it, the better it looks, especially looking at it thru pics.

Vicious, it does handle better, but to be real honest, its always handled extremely well. The new trucks honestly IMO handle much better than the previous gen, and with this one being born with the Z71 suspension package--getting the larger sway bars and shocks, its always been a nice handling truck. The ride does feel much sportier now though.

Yeah, that looks much better. GM should have done that from the factory. I doubt you lost alot of hauling capacity too. Good call on removing the Z71 decals and matching the door handles.

Damn those are tall from the factory! I would have thought It would be lower without the blocks and drop shackles?? Looks good though! Nice job.
