Wonder what the biggest tire I can fit under this avalanche is.

I'm sure you could fit some 44" tires if you get creative enough with a Sawzall

Well got the new shocks, he said it helped but didn’t fix the issue. He was right. Didn’t fix the issue. Tires have plenty of tread, I sent a pic go Jeff, at least enough tread to not be this issue.
I’m thinking ball joints? I know there was a little but if gap on the sway bar end links but this is a jarring, not an annoying rattle.
Wonder what a place would charge me to replace the ball joints.

I'd worry more about control arm bushings than sway bar bushings

Just making a list of things I would like to do to the avalanche.
Drivers door window switch-it’s a known issue to cause my seat heater to have a mind of its own.
Tint- it sits outside. It needs tint
Gauge cluster- gas said almost empty...half tank to fill up.
Back up camera- make it easier to hook up the boat as I’m almost always alone.
Remote start- yeah I love having it working at the fire hall and it being warm when I get in.
I’m sure there are others but this is my short list.

Looks like its time to trade in on an H3.

I know right!!! I just did an oil change on the avalanche, I didnt even do that for the Humvee! Have to say I went past a white H3 today, 15k...I liked it.

Coop will need the Alpha with the adventure package. V8, lockers at all 3 diffs, and a super low range transfer case.
H3T Alphas hold their value surprisingly well. Most of them are in the low to mid 20s.

But more weight, length, fuel, and repairs.

You should have bought a Honda Ridgeline.
