Update Time. Added the front steering stabilizer. Custom built shock and used the Rancho Suspension Bracket kit RS5545. Note - this kit is for a 6" lift so we cut the lower portion of the bracket off (otherwise it would hang down as I am not running a lift). You can also use the Rancho...

Ooooo - wonder if it might just be worth buying those trailing arms. Sent my buddy the link to get his thoughts. I'll post up his opinion, but they look pretty stout to me.

On my 02 Avalanche 1500 I leveled it and ran 285/70-17 on a 0 offset wheel. It had some slight rubbing - but that was cured with some very minor trimming of the excess plastic on the inner fender liner. I also (not due to the tires) trimmed my front bumper as I fabbed a custom one that is more...

Added my most important upgrade yet - should make my rig far more capable than it is. What do y'all think?

Dangit!!! reading this thread cursed me. I had a new fuel pump put in my Avalanche 3 years ago and it cost quite a bit of money to have the shop do it - as it had gone out on the road and I had to have it towed there. So, reading this thread and checking out the video of how to cut an access...

More Updates: In the run up to our Mojave Road trip, I am thrashing to get my rig as ready as possible for our first multi-day on the trail adventure. Today, added a steering stabilizer to the front end, trimmed a little more off of the left front inner fender (slight rub during a compressed...

A wider base WILL improve stability - no question. Which one is harder to knock over: | | or / \ ? However, I have no experience with the increased load on the bearings so don't know what the trade off is. Too much width will stress many other parts, so while it may be more stable, I...

Update Time - this one was expensive. I added G2 4.88 gears front and rear along with the new RD222 ARB Air Locker. NOTE for GM 10 Bolt guys (like me) - the old ARB Air Locker for our stuff (RD84) has just been replaced - literally - with the RD222. The new one is complete new design that cuts...

Thanks. To fit 35"s (easily - shockingly) without lifting the truck (though mine is leveled). My front bumper is highly modified, but in addition, for the front fenderwells: Trimmed back the cladding and cut metal back to the point that removed anything excess beyond the seams. Also cut the...

Picked it up - boy does it look better. Tires feel much better than the Pro Comps I had on it. The 35x12.50-17 actually LOOK like the correct size tire (my 285/70-17s always looked undersized to me). The fenderwell and firewall trimming allows for A LOT of room - I could run a 37" without...

^^^YES This^^^ Trying to space it a little further out. If not, I'll leave the stock diff cover on it and save the $200 for now.

Hi Y'All, Has anyone removed the rear anti-sway bar from their GMT800 rigs? If so, how much looser does it make the rig, loaded and unloaded? I'm trying to fit an ARB diff cover that is formed to strengthen the entire rear differential, but it is hitting my anti-sway bar. So, I'm trying to...

Who said performance differences are non-existent? My Avalanche runs a whole lot better with the snorkel than without. First, it is getting far more at lower speeds due to a much bigger air opening than the stock air intake in the fender. Second, it is getting some ram-air benefit at higher...

Nice job - that's the same snorkel I put on my Avalanche.

Just dropped my truck off and got a look at my new General Tire Grabber x3 tires - OOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo. Rig should be done by EOB Wednesday - pics on Thursday. Stay tuned..................

"Basic" is relative to what you want to do. Are you traveling on graded dirt roads or wanting to go on more difficult trails? Will you be with others or by yourself? Since we tend to be by ourselves, my approach has been to think of what situations I can get myself into and then consider what I...

Quick update: All of my parts are in, just waiting on the tires - hopefully they arrive today or Monday at the latest. I did get some Loc-Tite 4x density spray insulation foam and seal up the gaps in my inner fenders that were created when we did all of the trimming to fit the 35s. Sanded, and...

Hmmmmmmmmmm - advertisement? Noticed the company name prominently displayed on the bumper in the pics. Really nice looking bumper, but agreed - it's not very functional without a lot more support brackets.

That's a really nice piece of work. Wish I could have found someone in my backyard who sold and installed your stuff as it was my preference, but ended up getting G2.
