It sits exactly how I want it to now but I think the rear shocks need the extenders extended a bit more to remedy it. I still need to find a z71 tahoe drivers side rear mud flap to have all the z71 lower moldings on. If you see any at any of the junk yards let me know I’ll pay you a fair price for it. Only ones I’ve found on eBay were 100-120 shipped which is too much for such a small piece when I know I wouldn’t pay more then $10-20 locally when one turns up at the pick a part. Funny thing is this Tahoe corners better then my Escalade did even though it still has stock sway bars misaligned and bushings on it currently vs the belltech bars with poly bushings and shortened links to align them right.


I just finally put extenders on mine and it didn't seem to help much although the shocks are probably beat to death from 20k without extenders lol.

The Z71 mouldings look good, I haven't been junk yarding lately but I will keep any eye out. I'm still looking for a black mirror cover haha. What's your total drop estimate 3/5? or better yet fender heigh measurments.

Please let me know or post about the brake upgrade I have about a year left on what I think is the power stop pads/rotors but likely original calipers.

Omg yea the tbar crossmember on the suvs is a huge pain. On trucks there is a mile of space on the suvs you cant get a finger between the tcase and the crossmember. Plus the suvs have shorter tbars so youre limited on options anyways. Yukon xl and suburban got the regular length tbar set up.

Even then shoving a 4500 in there really is a 2 person job.

Heres a video explaining the 4 piston 2019-2020 front brake swap onto NBS. I guess the GMT900 swap will be obsolete now lol.

why does every homo on the youtubez have to start with "what's up, guys?!"... is that a requirement for the people to get paid or something? i didn't stick around long enough to hear him beg people to like & subscribe.

Anyone remember when YouTube was cat videos or just a video and not a full blown production movie with commercials and r-tards?
