I needed something that could not only tow a car trailer, but also a Fountain powerboat when needed, yet still have room for my lady and friends if needed. Needed 4x4 for the winter and the steep boat ramps, and wanted something I could...>TURN UP! So the duramax was the obvious answer.

Most people I know run out and get a 6-9" lift kit for these trucks first weekend they have them. Well since I live in Kansas City, and spend a LOT of my time downtown, I figured why not make it look cool, and actually fit in a parking garage. LOL.

So here she is..... Her 20 day make over!

Slammed 3.5" in the front, and 7" in the rear.
Still retains the 4x4,
Custom C Notched the frame in the rear.
Full suspension travel and stock springs are retained. (for towing)
EFI Live tuned ECU by myself
5" Turboback exhaust to a 6" tip
KN filter.
Body Colored the Mirrors, Moldings, Door Handles and bumper tops.
Removed the silly door rub strips and badges.
LED brake lights, LED cab lights
New Headlights with Clear Corners and HID, new foglights with HIDs
1500 Silverado Mirrors, and no cab lights.

Pretty mild mods but still knocks down 20mpgs, and rocks 800rw ft lbs of TQ on the dyno.
Its fun that everyone thinks its a 1500 now, until they either hear it, or play with it.

Can't wait to do more to it!

**Sorry for the cell phone pics, hopefully I can get some better ones**
