Re: Project Tahoe on a Budget
After the first of the year I may be closer, are you getting new ones for your truck?
And it looks like I may cut them, after all that.. Thanks, Trav

Re: Project Tahoe on a Budget
Here are some better pics, plus I put air shocks on the back for right now. I can not go any lower in the front with the tires I am running. So I may have to do something about that.

Re: Project Tahoe on a Budget
the stance looks perfect to me actually when you go lower withouth airsprings you'll prolly hurt the bottom of the truck

Re: Project Tahoe on a Budget
Looks great. Tinted lenses look very nice on black trucks. With a wheel upgrade that truck is going to be super cool. It's already awesome...especially knowing how little you have in it...

Re: Project Tahoe on a Budget
the tinting usually make the amount of light the units give a little less .
a nice reason/excuse to put leds behind them these stand out a lot more

Re: Project Tahoe on a Budget
It's tint in a can, you can by it at any auto parts place. I like to do a light coat then put come clear over it. It just gives it more pop with the clear.
Thanks guys! Trav

I know it's been said a bunch of times Tv, but "very nice"! I think that says it all though.

Re: Project Tahoe on a Budget
What additional obstacles might you face, if you tried to do something like this on a 4 door 4x4? This may sound like a stupid question, but how much can you lower a 4wd without running into issues with the half-shafts? The utility of 4 wheel drive in shallow snow, and lack of availablility of 2wd models leaves 4x4's an attractive option to me.

What about the ride quality on a kit like this? My TBSS ride is tolerable, but I have coilovers up front and factory adjusted bags in the rear...really needs more work to be a true "performance" suspension. |

Mine rides better then it did, so I think you would be happy on how it rides. And on the TB SS I had one and I put 2" Ebocks on it and I was very happy. It looks like your is a little bit lower then mine was. Trav

Re: Project Tahoe on a Budget
those are some nice thick flanges on those headers they will seal verry nicely
they look like turboheaders the truck looks awesome on the outside it just needs a set of bigger rims and the radio antenna shaved ..... maibe put a little vw gti antennastump on the roof close to the rearhatch or something stick on behind the frontwindow
