07 Nnbs 3" Bl/2.5" Front Level Kit/wheels/tires

AllBlkdOut07 · August 21, 2007

After a much anticipated, very long wait, the 3" bodylift and other various mods have finally been installed.

I was away for a few days and upon my return today went straight to the shop who did the installs while I was away. Of course it's been raining hard all day long and during the photos taken, so excuse the shoddy pictures.

New mods installed are as follows:

Custom 17" GMC Black Powdercoated Stock Wheels

295/70/17 Cooper Discoverer STT's

3" Performance Accesories Body Lift

2.5" Front End Leveling Kit

The shots were taken with the 4 stock wheels and tires still in the bed, so the rear may be lower then if it were empty.

Pictures don't really do the truck justice. I'm really happy with the overall look. Just have to get used to the height, truck looks quite massive in person. I will get better quality pictures when time permits, I hope to send beter pics for consideration in the calendar. I plan on adding LineX coated NFab bars, painting the rear bumper as well as a few other extras.

I'm lovin the blacked out look. Very cool. Those wheels are pretty sharp too, a good twist to an already sharp wheel.

'FBI guy'...Hahaha..thanks dude.

Looks really good. When you take more pics, can you get a close up of one of the wheels? BTW, thanks for posting like you said you would.

Looks good. This is exactly what I'll be doing only I'll be using Procomp 1079 wheels. If you don't mind me asking, what did the installation of the BL cost you? I'm pretty confident I could do it myself, but time is always an issue.

BTW, have any shots from the rear? That's always a good angle for tires IMO.

That is a cool truck, I really like the looks of the stock powder coated wheels.

Now you have to paint the rear bumper black and tint the windows. That is a lot of black.

Looking pretty sick all you need to do to finish it off is Tint the windows and tail lights then paint the rear bumper and you'll be ready for you stealth manuvers .

Oops..that's my bad. I copy and pasted my post on fullsizechevy.com. They put out a calendar each year featuring members' trucks.

Thanks for the positive comments everyone.

Below are close-ups of the wheel off the truck, and one before powdercoating. Sanded down the center cap since it read 'GMC', and painted them with primer, black basecoat and clearcoat to match the powdercoating.

I will take better shots on a better day when the truck is cleaned up, and include a close-up shot of the tire/wheel set-up.

I brought the truck to a local shop who happens to have a super-clean shop, and was 2 miles from me, both meant a lot to me.

They charged me hourly for everything and I got whacked pretty good. 3" BL, 2.5" Leveling Kit, very carefully mount and balance the tires on the powdercoated rims, then finally a front and rear wheel alignment. Total hours spent 14+ at $88/hr, do the math, it wasn't cheap.

I know they were ultra careful with everything, and even used a nylon lined socket for the black lugnuts.

Depending on where you are geographically, I'm sure you could get a much better install price.

Looks pretty mean, and those wheels look great in black.
