18 Best Year Chevy Avalanche (2022 Updated)

I searched for a fair price on a Napier truck tent for several weeks. I typed in “used” ans scored this from a dude in Georgia,who only used it ONCE,and then sold his avalanche. I got this for less than half!! I’ve been assembling by camping equipment, since then and I’m just one or two items from putting all the pieces together.

If you’re a single camper (with a dog) like me,and you just wanna get a quick getaway weekend,under your belt, then this is the ABSOLUTE best way to go. (Hint) Pre assemble your tent in the driveway.

Put your bedding and gear INSIDE the tent. Drop the tent,put your tonneau cover back on. This will help speed up your setup when you get to camp. You’re Welcome, L. C.

We purchased the tent for our Avalanche. It fits it perfectly. Could be just a tad less tight, but we are really happy with it. If you have an Avalanche the tailored one is amazing because the area from the bed to the cab unzips for full use of the truck.

Its awesome! The first time setting up takes some figuring out. But the second time will be a breeze. I took it down by myself. It was really easy and stores well. Bonus, it lines the entire inside of the bed.

We camped using this tent the other weekend. It was awesome. The fact that you can open up the back of the tent and remove the back window on the Avalanche allows you to utilize the entire pickup. I would recommend setting it up ahead of time to know how to get the tent up.

First time it would take probably about an hour. Once you know the steps it takes about 10 or 12 minutes. My kids loved it.

These headlights were well made and fit well. They are sturdy and fairly easy to install. I was surprised that they only took two days to arrive.

They look nice but I have a few complaints about them. The day time running light flickers due to it not getting enough power. There are letters on the bottom of the headlight that are visible which I don’t like.

The low beam is kinda yellow and you can’t change the bulb because it’s inside of the headlight. They really don’t show the details of the install so you better know what you’re doing. But they look nice and are pretty bright.

Redline 360 great place, Spec D headlights not bad just installed them. Here is the problem. There is no way to adjust them without major removal of parts. Yes you could attempt to adjust before securing to the vehicle.

Could get lucky, I guess. Took my truck to an autobody shop to align. Had to remove intake, right side battery tray and windshield fluid jug. Royal pain.

These are the coolest lights ever for this truck. The marker lights alone are extremely bright. They Really update the look of the truck. I haven’t seen any other chevy driving around with these lights.

I honestly couldn’t be happier. Install was pretty easy and there is a video on YouTube on how to do it. Well worth every penny. Best thing I have purchased for my suburban.

First time I used in-channel visor compared to the sticking onto the outer door frame on my previous Tacoma and Jeep. Overall it works great as long as you take your time and clean the inner window channel.

I rushed mine. The 3M double-sided tape works good, but wished it was a little wider as it adhering to felt surface in the channel. The scotch-brite souring pad in the kit is not enough to clean and smooth out the felt.

Sometime later, I will remove them to clean the felt channel with sandpaper or scrap with a razor, and use a wider tape. Another tip: I did use a razor to clean up the inner corner edges to prevent scratching the windows over time from the injection mold flashing.

Overall its a great buy, just take extra time to clean it. I completed the install < 20 mins.

Nothing special about it. Make sure you watch the YouTube video on how to install. There are tabs that go in the door trim, if you do not put those in the window will go down thinking that there is something in the window.

Make sure you shove it as far up as you can, or else tape will remain exposed. Does pretty well on keeping the rain out. Just average. Will up.

Upon opening the box and getting the package out I found it to be ripped open a little and one of the visors was hanging out and had some decent scratches on it. The rest of the visors were sealed under the plastic film but it had gotten hot or was vacuum sealed so much, something to where the film was stuck to the adhesive tape and the red plastic that covers it.

It was a nightmare to pull it off and keep the adhesive tape and red plastic cover intact and still usable. Installation was not bad and easy enough but I’m not to crazy about how the front flange/tab sits in the window track.

It seems to work on the driver side ok but on the passenger side that front flange causes the window to constantly trigger the rolldown sensor. Overall they aren’t bad on price, do look ok once installed and go on pretty easily so I can’t knock them for that.

But in the long run I think the higher priced sets may have been the better way to go.

Main bulb sockets don’t have lock built into them, had to glue them in to stay. Alignment adjustment won’t allow proper adjust, won’t go down far enough. Reflectors for headlights poor, throw light everywhere instead of a focused beam using hids.

Alignment gaps are off. Waste of money, have to buy a second pair now. Had to install these due to originals being damaged. Make my truck look like a hoopty.

I needed to replace my old ones and pulled the trigger on these. very happy with the outcome. A little tricky to install but just take your time and don’t force them. They have lots of “ears and tabs” to worry about but like I said just be gentle and work them in.

fit real nice and look great ! hopefully they survive the carwash and hold up to the Texas sun. Time will tell but for a hundred dollar gamble, you can’t go wrong.

The headlights look great both when I received them and after I installed them. Shipping was faster than expected; they were expected to arrive 7 days after purchase but arrived within 3 days. Great job and I would recommend ordering parts from these guys to anyone!.

The kit contents looks nicely made. Only reason I gave it 4 star and not a 5 is that there is very little in the way of special instructions. The blocks for the rear say to remove any existing blocks which the truck had stock and were the same size so I just didnt bother with the rear blocks.

The torsion bars took some research. They definitely did not want to come out and almost all forums had people giving up, cutting them out or going around by dropping wntire front end assembly with the bars and cross members intact.

I found 1 guy who had a decent idea, said to get a demolition hammer (which I already had) and hammer on them with a blunted point. However, that did not work by itself, I needed to use and oxyacetylene torch to heat them, spray with PB Blaster while it was red hot so it would suck it into the frozen joint, reheat with the torch and hammer away.

The keys came out readily with the hammer but the rods took some serious heat and hammering. Also, I’m pretty sure the front shovks need to be replaced with a slightly (1-2”) longer version at this point since the new ones I bought would not go in until I relaxed the tension on the new torsion key as far as I could in order to mount the new stock replacement shock.

So I did not end up needing the u bolts or the blocks in this kit and the truck looks level now.

There are a few places that there is the potential to damage the components. When trying to install the front shocks,p with the pucks installed, be sure to press out the anchoring boots on the lower bracket and reinstall once in.

Pretty certain I damaged my CV joint and hub when attempting to do it all together, but she won’t fit. Also when doing the rear end raise, be sure to scribe or paint mark the original position of bracket to axel.

Installing the new spacer and having your axel shifted will cause your rear end to walk out while driving. Install took a whole afternoon for me by myself, you’ll need a jack to help lower and raise components and jackstands to keep the truck on.

Watch your YouTube videos so you have a general idea of what lines to remove before diving in. Very pleased with this raise, it’s nothing too noticeable but definitely better than stock.

I installed this kit on my buddies 15 gmc z71, flawless install in 3 drinking hours (and first time ever putting a leveling kit on), looks great, rides great! So I got the same kit and installed on mine.

Mine is not a z71, only difference. Install went ok, took a little longer. I have stamped upper control arms he had forged, so i will pop for the uppers with corrected ball joint angle and get an alignment.

Otherwise really happy!!.

Bought these off the Open Box page. Said there were scratches. WHERE??? They looked like new. Everything was there. The hardware bags were unopened. Just like new. I’ll have to wait for warm weather to install.

Too cold at the present. Expecting a ride improvement over my 15 year-old original shocks. Another great buy. Bought at the beginning of the week and they were here on Sat. Super-fast shipping!.

Installed a a set. Front end rear. The fronts are great. Nice upgrade and level the truck well without sacrifice of ride quality. The rears are way too soft. Hit any choppiness or low spots in the road and the back and is all over the place, and bounces like the shocks are just bad right out of the box.

Looking for another product as these will NOT be staying on my truck.

Significant improvement over worn OEM shocks that had 100,000 miles on them. Installation was easy. No need for tire removal or use of jacks. Recommend spraying bolts/nuts with liquid wrench (or similar product) over multiple days before removal.

Doing this and using hand tools I was able to remove old bolts without any breaking. Biggest issue I had was sourcing out new hardware.

I installed the pedal commander on my 14 Charger RT, and I can confirm that it 100% works. It merely plugs into your gas pedal, and adjusts the sensitivity of it digitally. When you bring it all the way to sport+ mode in my car, then so much as tap the gas, it will scare you how quickly it responds and gets going.

Now I will admit that you gotta keep in mind that it is a throttle response thing. So it doesn’t change your HP at all, and if you floor it in any mode then it’ll feel the same because the car simply is just giving everything it can no matter the mode.

Plus an added benefit is that eco mode if used with a careful driving style actually helps with mpg. Adding more throttle lag in comparison to stock genuinely helps me save fuel. Something about slow acceleration makes the car save fuel better.

I never knew about pedal delay until I heard about Pedal Commander and watched several videos about your product. This is the absolute kick in the pants positive change anyone can do. No special tools, no side effects, takes less than 10 minutes and the change is immediate.

Even if you are down on horsepower, the Pedal Commander makes your car quicker and harder to beat. I have Dodge HellCats and Redeyes with 900+ horsepower and the Pedal Commander takes these car to another level.

The absolute best zero horsepower gain that you money can by. Thanks, Eric B.

Very easy to install, there are a few things you need to take off to get to the plug but no big deal. Installed it and took it out on the road. Started with it off, then gradually increased all the way to the highest setting, Sport+ #4.

My car is a V6 so it’s not super powerful anyway, I was just looking to get rid of the insane amount of lag when I step on the pedal. This isn’t a life changing addition in my opinion but overall I’m happy with the unit on Sport+ #4.

It does take away a lot of the lag, overall I would recommend this but don’t expect it make your V6 a V8 as it is just going to get rid of some lag.

Recieved the tires within a week. The day after mounting them, we got the worst snow storm Ive driven in. These tires are a parfect match for our jeep patriot. Previous tire was the cooper weather master st2.

These are better in the snow. The sidewall is also more flexible so they ride 10% softer. We will see how they compare with the 5 years and 50000 miles we reached with the cooper.

I needed winter tires for my 2019 Chevy Bolt EV. Since it was late in the winter season, my local tire stores had almost no selection to choose from. I went online and discovered TireBuyer. com. They had many options for my car.

The prices were very reasonable and the shipping was fast and free. I got my new tires one day before a big snow storm. What a difference! I appreciated everything about the buying experience. Thank you TireBuyer!.

I put these tires on my daughters Subaru Outback and she has put a couple hundred miles on them. I’ve driven her car in the snow and these tires grip very well. As well as the more expensive tires I put on my car.

Highway noise isn’t too bad, and dry and wet road grip is good also. We have an extremely rough and muddy road to our house when it’s not covered in snow and these tires do well in all conditions.

Recently installed this in a 2012 Suburban. We opted to go with the lifted N3 struts in the front opposed to the front strut spacers. After Installation there seems to be almost 3″ of positive rake in the front of the truck.

Another issue worth noting, while the vehicle is in the air the rear coil springs basically fall right out as if they need to be about 2″ longer. After a few calls to rough country they were less than helpful and pretty much said there was nothing they could do.

So now we have a truck that sits low in the rear and can only be serviced on a drive on lift unless you intend to re-align the rear coil springs every time you lower the vehicle back to the ground. This one is a big miss in our opinion.

The lift took around 6 weeks to get to me but I get it with everything being back ordered. But after I got it and had a company put it on I’m pretty sure they sent me the 5 inch lift and not the 7 inch.

Says you can clear 35’s on the 7 inch lift and I have 33” tires and they rubbed. Had to cut up my bumper just to get home. I have done many lifted trucks and suburban’ and this just isn’t measuring to be the correct height.

Sucks since I already paid for the lift and paid to have it installed.

Every part is heavy duty down to larger bolt heads and lock nuts. Every bracket, brace and spacer is better than OEM. Instructions need a refresh, as they miss some minor steps like when to put tie rods back in place or how to orient the ABS line, but easy enough to follow along.

Estimated time is for a full shop, not a guy using a creeper and hand tools in his driveway. In the end it took me much longer, but very happy with quality of parts and instructions were easy to follow and adjust where necessary.

I ordered a set of four Avalanche snows November 29 for my toyota yaris and had the dealer install them the following week. Next day I headed for Maine from PEi on a trip of 400 miles each way. I met with heavy rain after two hours and was pleased with the solid traction these tires afforded.

I could drive with confidence while others were pulling over to the side. It turned cold the next day and traction was great even with ice patches. On the way home was cold with some light snow and I could move right along with confidence.

This is my second set of Avalanche Winter tires and I still am really impressed. I do a fair amount of winter travel here in Maine, especially in the northern part of the state where snowfall amounts can be quite extreme.

I’ve never lost confidence while behind the wheel of my Ram truck with these tires. Great Value Too!.

“Traction Traction Traction”, is all I have to say. Grabs the ground and is tight. Avalanche-TT tires hold their own. Sturdy durable made to roll right. No mistaking these Hercules Avalanche-TT’s they’re a win win.

I’ve passed on my recommendations to others via the airways. Good deal all the way around.

After about 4 months of use the bushing I bought disintegrated. It cracked into little pieces. Without a quick s replacement I had to order another one. So far, 6 months in, it’s holding up somewhat.

the bushing has worn a bit and the shifter cable is a bit loose. The shifting is also a bit loose. I have bought a third one which is on standby, just in case. There is a video online from the company on how to install the bushing.

The red piece that was supposed to “guide” the part broke on the second squeeze. I should have just gone to the auto parts store and saved $15 because I never could get the thing to work properly.

Worked great worth the picture rice believe me.

After reading as much as I could find about the upgraded shocks for my Wrangler, I took the chance that these Ranchos would give me what I was looking for- a smoother on-road ride. I enjoy going off road sometimes, but most of my driving is on streets and highways.

The gamble paid off far better than I had hoped. My Sport S JL now actually absorbs road shocks rather than feeling so abrupt when I hit road imperfections. Time and money very well spent!.

Purchased these and the fronts. Had them installed with the Mammoth leveling kit on my ’13 JK. My jeep now sits and looks the way it should have come stock. Immediately after install took my jeep on a 1200 mile round trip fly fishing in northern Idaho.

Rides and handles smooth on the highway and eats dirt and rough terrain like candy. I like these very much.

Good product did the job. Easier to install than it was to crawl under vehicle. Only thing is that it’s smaller than the original one that came with the vehicle. Vehicle 16 years old. So I hope I can get 16 years out of this one.

This was quite a bit cheaper than replacing the entire shift cable. It was not as easy to replace on my Wrangler as indicated. No problem betting the bushing into the cable end but it took a lot more force to get it on the transmission point.

Once I got it on,it has worked well. I would definitely buy it again if I needed to.

I bought second time this bushing product. Good fit, easy to install. But my firs part worked only 6 month and after that falling to a hundred little parts. So, it is a good quick fix, but it is only temporary fix!.

TireBuyer offered a great deal on these tires at just the right time. TireBuyer did everything exactly as they said they would, even delivering earlier than promised. The tires are awesome in the snow.

Our area is very hilly where all seasonals just aren’t good enough, but these tires just bite the roads up and down all those hills. I love to take the back roads that most people avoid when it’s snowing, but not me.

And with these tires it was not a problem at all. TireBuyer also offered a rebate gift card with the purchase of a set of four tires. You know how those rebates go right? You have to jump through dozens of hoops to apply and never seem to have the exact things they ask for, and then you wait forever and sometimes never get it.

Well not with TireBuyer. The application was simple, and I got it within a couple of weeks. When does that ever happen? They even offered a chance at a $1000 sweepstakes #sweepstakes. The next time I need tires I will most definitely be looking at TireBuyer.

Bought a set of 235/85/16’s for the rear axle of my ’07 GMC LBZ CCLB 4×4 dually that’s used for my auto transport business. It’s been a light winter in Wisconsin so far but zero issues in light snow/sleet/rain/mud.

Sidewalls seem thin. Steering response is like driving a truck with big mud tires, there’s some give but it’s predictable and repeatable. Fuel mileage has improved over the previous set of Michelin Defender LTX M/S 245/85/16’s.

Road noise is good, at podcast listening volume you can’t hear the tires. 4K miles on them so far and no noticeable tire wear. Buying 2 more for the front wheels to complete the set.

So far so good – but some items of note. The instructions were less than clear and missing some steps. The instructions stated that the front axle spacers were aluminum – mine appeared to delrin or some other plastic.

The sleeves for the rear sway bar and the spacer for the brake lines all have the same outside diameter and length, but the spacer has a smaller inside diameter. Not well marked or noted in the instructions – required a disassembly and reassembly.

Also, welding the nut onto the large backing plate for the rear spacers would have made the installation so much easier for those of us without a lift. For the front, there’s no good reason why the studs on the strut spacer were not preinstalled, making the customer do so makes no sense.

On the plus side the kit looks solidly made and did come with all the parts needed. Fit was fine.

Easy installation parts seem good. Some of the washers are a little thin. I purchased the lifted struts with the kit and they ride perfectly. The front sits bout a inch in a half higher so I’m sagging in the back.

Wish the cv axle angles were a little better but overall I’m happy with my purchase. I would buy another kit from them.

Complete lift kit. Directions have some inaccuracies. You have to drop the front axle out of the truck which I wasn’t expecting. Many of the provided fasteners were different than called out in the directions.

Mind the wire clip and vent hose on driver side when removing the front axle.

Honestly. This is just fraudulent advertising on the part of the Chinese manufacturer. I quote: “Replace lamp with only 2. 5 volt, 0. 5 watt, LED type [that word, ‘type’ is their deceptive description] lamp (provided with product)”.

I OWN LED Christmas lights and incandescent Christmas lights, and these are plainly incandescent. There may be honorable companies in China, but this is NOT one of them. The tree arrived from FedEx in a box that was so full of holes, rips and tears, it was falling apart.

One of the large branches was completely detached from the trunk and will need heavy duty glue to repair it. Over a dozen of the lights on the tree were burned out or the glass bulb was defectively formed AND out.

I’m saving this review to my Mac clipboard in the event Nearly Natural does not publish it. With a copy and paste I can post it on every internet platform I can find. Hades hath no fury.
