Well after waiting for parts and other snags mostly related to the fact this is one of the first few kits put on a new body style Avalanche it's underway. My Dirt logic shocks are still on oder and should be here in two weeks or so. So far the Fabtech lift is complete with the gear swap to 4.56. (My 3.73's are for sale $200.00 if anyone wants them). The new Toyo M/T's and Hoss wheels are also done. I can't be happier with how it turned out so far. Lots left to do, new custom valved Dirt Logic shocks next. Picking up Superchips programmer later today.

Took a few pic's..............

Looks real good. My dad is torn between a new Tahoe or an Ava and well i think he needs an avalanche.

Man, I've been toying with the idea of picking up an Avalanche and taking a mild street-oriented driver approach with it, but now I'm having second thoughts. :cool:

No it was done at a shop. I have done lifts in the past, but do to the newness of the truck and the fact this lift was just released I decided to have it done + my warranty is still good because the shop did it. They lift all the trucks for the dealership.

I'm very happy so far with the outcome. I have been doing some minor cleaning up around a few areas the shop was not to carefull cleaning up.

Amazing work man. That's one sweet Avy. The new avalanches are a lot better than the old ones. Badass!

Bigred, Very nice Avalanche!! I have to ask you where you found the inserts for the front bumper? Both in the bumper and in the metal front end where the lic plate used to be. I need some really bad cause the holes drive me nuts!!!

OK, I am officially jealous. At first, I wasn't feeling the Nissan Armada style bumper.....but now....... I WANT ONE!!!

yeah, its nice. I saw it a few days ago in the black truck thread and posted a pic on cafcna seeing it you were over there. I think it took about 3 minutes for someone to link me to the thread over there.

I believe the bumper insert is from the factory on the Z71 tahoes and avalanches thats one of the changes they did to keep the z71's apart from the non-z71's.

Im sorry I didnt mean the z71 inserts. Im talking about the little push in buttons he used to fill in the holes were the lic plate bracket was.
