Default Lift kit and skid plates 2010 Suburban

Got my steel skid plates installed today. Also hd a "Truxx" lift/leveling kit installed that lifted it 2.5 inches in the front and 1.25 inches in the rear. Hopefully, now, I can keep the front facia/bumper from contacting the dirt in the future.

Figured out that I don't gain anything by going from the 17 inch rims to the 20's as the sidewall on the tires mounted on larger rims has to get smaller as the rim gets bigger in order to maintain adequate clearance between the tire and body.

pictures?
were the skid plates easy to install? I would assume a very simple bolt on. I would like to get those on our Tahoe to help protect when I am driving around our land. And because I am bored!

Yes, they bolt right on. Part numbers are listed at my other post in this thread. Tahoe and Suburban parts are the same. Bolts are pricey but I could not find a suitable substitute so got mine from GM-Ouch.
