So just a quick update. I went crazy the other day and ordered: markmc's 2.5" lift, Z71 coils for the rear, 1.5" 6x5 to 6x5.5 spacers.....I'm picking up a set of 99 tahoe 16" wheels with 245/75's on them on Saturday, and my G80 showed up yesterday (although I'm still looking for someone in the St. Louis area, within 200 miles, to help me put it in) Jumping in with both feet, can't wait to get this one going :)
