Looks good. I love the way your tahoe looks with that drop. I was a little scared to go that low. Is the ride really stiff?

It rides ok a little choppy but it handles real good, Belltech is coming out with coil over struts for our Hoes, check Belltech web-site for more info. Iplan on ordering a set of Doetsch slammer shocks for the rear, hopefully that will smoothen out the ride...

I love the chrome trim. I have been wanting to do this myself but havent found a trim kit.

Can you please let me know exactly what it is called, and if there is a part number, or anything that may help. We dont have a pep boys and I cant find anything online. Please help me out asap. Thanks.

Try places like Advance Auto. I've seen something similiar there. Also auto body supply stores carry that type of thing sometimes.

six7one,
I was off work today so I took it upon myself to find something to do. So I went to autozone, immediately found it with now problem. I washed, waxed, and installed the chrome along the boards. It turned out great! Thanks for the source and idea. I have been looking at some chrome companies online but was skeptical. Once I saw yours done it made my choice easy.

Mine turned out great and thanks for the help!
