I bought this '02 about 6 months ago.  It was the only 2500 I had ever seen or heard of so I bought it purely since I figured they were rare.  It was in rough shape to say the least.  I've installed new interior, new paint, suspension, wheels/tires, fender liners, etc.  Basically done everything I can to make it show worthy.  I use it on weekends and to haul our boat to and from the lake.  I thought I'd post up a few pictures.  It has been a long and expensive road so far with this one...  I have a set of 37's that I might try to put on it this summer but, I'll have to add a BL.  As of right now, it has a 6" Pro-Comp kit with the Bilstein 5100 shocks.  I have purple keys in it but, they are decranked about as far as they can go.

I tried the 37's on today and they fit!  I only had to trim about 1" off the back sides of each fender liner.  We drove it all day and no rubbing.  I'm sure it would rub if I took it offroad and twisted it but, for what I use it for, it works great.  All I need now are the 4.88's...
 
That looks really really really really really nice... (y) (y) (y)

so nice I don't think I want to see pics of what it looked like before you started... :laugh:
 
It was rough when I started...  To the point where my wife didn't want it in the driveway..

I unfortunately have so much invested in it now that it is a permanent keeper...

I dumped the 315's in favor of some 37's the other week...  All I had to do was to trim 1" off the inner plastic fender in the back of the front wells.  No rubbing at all.

I'll post some up.  That is my winter project... I have a full set of 2008 leather seats I plan to swap in a little later.  Much to my shock, the '02 leather still shows very little wear...
 
Ya may want to check the plugs on the seat, I don't think the wiring is the same. Just a FYI
 
Yeah, they definitely aren't.  A local shop is going to modify the harness to make them work, so I'm told.  If not, there will be a nice set for sale in the classifieds...

How about the mounting points are they the same.
 
I haven't even test fit them.  The local upholstery and hotrod shop said they have been installing the newer style front seats in Tahoe's and Avy's for the last year with minor modifications to the tracks and harness.  We'll see...
