Newbi here with 1st post so I thought why not show what I got. Its been flipped, notched with 1" blocks rear (photo was before blocks were added), front spindles and that's all I believe. I had to trim the driver side rear wheel well for tire clearance about 1/2", seems all good now. Its a work in progress lol

Is the front bumper on this truck tucked or is it an optical illusion? It looks like it has been trimmed and tucked back flush. Whatever the answer, itis one sharp truck.

No, not at all actually the backspacing is perfect for deep drops on this body style the front wheels are 22x9’s with 5” of backspacing with a 245/30 tire and the rears are 22x11’s with 6.75” backspacing with a 285/35 tire..I can do a Complete U Turn lock to lock with no rub..the Tubbed and pulled fenders also help..the frame However is a different story, Four door Tahoe’s don’t like being low and the frame scrapes more than I’d like..at the moment it’s sitting on a 6/9 static drop

This is my little red truck, it was lots of work to get the rear down to where it is today. Its been flipped, 1" blocks and 2 " shackles. First problem was tires rubbing driver side on fender lip, had 255/55/R18. The pumpkin on these are the 14 bolt which I assume are bigger tha other trucks so it hit the bed bottom, had a little "hat"made for clearance, then the axle housing was bottoming out on the frame. I had the "Under bed/ above frame" notch done plus I had to drop the tire size to 235/55R18 and it seems to be all good now
Hope you like it

Thank you Marcos, its a work in progress, a driver not a show truck also. Seems their never done huh, one thing at a time I guess, if I can get this TBI running like it should then I'll move onto rear disc brakes, just seems everything is so pricey nowadays
Had the seats done a couple of months ago, turned out OK but not really happy with how they sit, was thinking of sectioning the bases about 1-1&1/2" to sit a little lower ???

So are those the OEM seats recovered in leather? Through this forum I found out that the 454ss trucks had different seats (higher backs) on them so is this one of those higher back seats?

I think the seats came out great. I’m really on the fence about the Garnett Red interior on my truck. I would love to have all black or even grey like yours. Never been a fan of the Garnett Red but I guess it’s starting to grow on me.
