Default Shaved tailgate

Which shave kit is better? Belltech or Sir Michaels? The SM is $10 more, $55 instead of $45 for the Belltech.

I used the Sir Mike's on my truck...never had any experience at all with the Bell Tech piece. Everyone that I know uses the Sir Mike's, and for $10 difference, I can't see taking a chance on the Bell Tech.

As I understand, the kit has all the filler panles and hardware to move the tailgate handle to the inside of the bed.

I was leaning towards the SM piece because I know SM is very high quality. I let BellTech stick to the lowering.

BTW, VERY nice truck Scream. Maybe one day mine will look that good.

Thanks,

Sir Mikes for sure. The one thing I did on my 00 was get the lower profile handle from a OBS than the big one that came on it.

Scream,

Your ride looks great! Nice job on the pan, and the shaved tailgate. Clean look, just like mine (02' blk Silverado) will look, I hope. You look to be fairly well slammed. How low is it?
