Nice! I like the silver aluminum look. I sometimes wish I hadn't painted mine. Oh well, can't easily change it now!

What the heck kinda picture is that? Don't tease me! I'm encouraged by what I can "almost" see in it. Back that land yacht out into the cold so you can take a side pic. I'm dying to put 275/70s on my 18", yes, 18" A/R wheels (33.2") using only Mark's 3" spacers and 87s (already purchased and sitting in my house) without a body lift. All I saw mentioned in your posts was a 3" (suspension?) lift. Did you stay with stock coils? The stock 83s on my 04 2wd EXT and a 2" R/C levelling kit fit my current 31.6 BFG A/Ts with acceptable but not comfortable clearance. I'm saying all this because I don't think I can do 33.2 even with 89 springs, so I can't wait for more pics of yours.
I think 33s are the smallest an EXT can go and still not make it look "too small" in that cavernous rear quarter. My 31.6s look like space saver spares in the rear.

Hahaha I will have more pictures very soon and be doing a build thread. Currently on the TB is there 3" lift as well as marks 1.5 wheel adapters. Also had to do some inner fender trimming but nothing to serious. The hard part was in order for me to clear the 16" wheels on the ext I had to go to a local pick n pull and take the front brake system off of a envoy. However I am very happy with the look everyone at work has been complementing it as well which is always nice.

You are strongly motivating me lol. I just have noticed, that non-car people... Just really don't notice alot lol. Like I really don't pay much attention to microwaves, or the carnival glass my gf collects.

Whew! What a relief. 33s and no body lift. Your TB looks oh-so-right! Great job. I'm putting Massive GMT-360 rearend on to center axle, (adding 2.75" lift to back), but yours looks correct. Really badass, man. Thanks for the pics.
