Looks great!

It is funny how used to my lift I have gotten. It seems small now that I have been lifted for a few months until I park it next to a stock runner just like you did there. Then it looks quite a bit higher.

Eric I feel the same way, and it makes it worse when a highly modded 2 door Tahoe on 38.5's parked RIGHT beside me last night.

Yeah that gets me some times to but then I think about how hard I wheel mine and how well it does. Most of the trails that we hit up he simpley could not fit in.
For example:


There is always a bigger truck out there somewhere.

Thanks guys again, THE INSTALL, one of my really good friends owns a transmission shop, with about 14 lifts, so we put it up on the lift and used transmission lifts to lift the body, the whole time we were working standing up. I really didnt do much, My friend did all the work, JUST TAKE YOUR TIME and everything goes smooth, you rush you run into problems, dedicate a saturday and your done. after a 1hour and half lunch and the drive back to the shop it was a 8 hour job, drive time and lunch.I HIGHLY RECOMMEND THIS MOD!! i really and truley have no issuses with the 2" lift, fuzion is you do a BL please go with the 2" you can actully see a difference

This basically was the first thing i did, TAKE OFF THAT GOLD PINSTRIPE.. that was years ago. I think it looks sooooooooo much better like this.

this is BEFORE BODY LIFT..

Was it hard to move the bumpers up? Did they line up OK? Do you have a hitch on the rear?

George- 2'' will always look good.

Jamie- A good friend of mine is a photographer, I have plenty more, and YES ONE DAY I would love to have my runner in a Calendar or Magazine!

hlpressley- No it wasnt hard, but I had some extra fabrication to have more than just 2 bolts holding the front bumper on. The hitch was on there but I removed it and the spare.


Crux- The tint on the driver/passenger is roughly 5% with two mills of different tint and the back is factory 20% with 10 % over it which takes it down to about 7% on the tint guys light meter. THE FRONT WINDSHIELD IS NEXT, going with commercial 40% will post when thats done.

I have a thing for tint
