Default 2012 Sierra RCSB 5.3 build thread @ New Era Performance

Just wanted to get a build thread going on this truck, we started by taking it to the track in completely stock form, ran it down the track, and then tuned it and ran it down the track again, here is the video.

Then, we lowered it using McNaughy 4/2 lowering kit which uses a spindle drop kit in the front, and new leaf springs in the back.

Then we installed American Racing Headers, 1 7/8 primaries with a catless y-pipe.
