1998 2 door Tahoe build thread

[BOTTLEDZ28]

1998 2 door Tahoe. Bought May of 2013 to replace my 94 2 door that I totaled. Truck has 120K miles on it and runs perfect. I will update this thread as I continue to work on her.

This is what it looked like when I bought it.

First change was wheels and tires. I went with XD wheels 20x10 with a -12mm offset. Tires are Nittos 305/55/20. I had to lift the truck 2" to get them to fit.

Shortly after the wheels and tires went on, I installed a stainless catback exhaust system. I used the Magnaflow dual cat ypipe and the Gibson catback setup. The truck picked up so much more power after installing these parts. I cant stand the Gibson setup but us 2 door guys dont have a wide variety of products to pick from when it comes to exhaust systems, especially if you want stainless.

I also installed a K&N FIPK as well.

I wanted a LED light bar on the truck to help me out at night on these dark country roads so I made this light bar mount for my Rigid E2 Series light. This thing is bright!!!!

I had the front end rebuilt last week and she rides so much better now. I used all Moog stuff. Bilstiens will be going in within the next few weeks hopefully. If you drive a high mileage truck like this then I highly suggest rebuilding the front end. It makes a world of difference.
