Default Pulled the trigger on a 6.2!

I finally did it today on a white CCSB all terrain SLE with the 6.2!

I however didn't bring it home yet because there tinting the windows,swapping the wheels out and putting lowering shackles in the rear to level it out.

Here's the wheels I'm getting. What do you guys think about them. I wanted to stick with a factory wheel in a 20'' I can't stand that ''plastic'' crap the all terrain's come with.

Not a bad looking wheel at all. What all do you have planned for it?

Instead of shackles, you can take the blocks out of the back... That's what I did. Those are some nice looking wheels. I like the regular all-terrain wheels too though, aren't they 18's?

I thought about that but wouldn't it need shorter U bolts?

The 2010-11' all terrain wheels aren't a real chrome wheel it's a plastic chrome cover on the outside.

I will be changing up my exhaust hopefully in august if you're looking for a lightly used magnaflow muffler. It's 3.5" in/dual 3" out. I'll have to look up the part number but I think it's the 14595. I wish my wife would buy me a whipple. She gets mad when I buy myself stuff lol

I didn't need shorter bolts for my truck... Don't think you would either.

Picked it up on Friday. Decided to wait on the wheels for awhile they wasn't discounting them any since I got the truck at such a good deal.

They done the window tint and installed my drop shackles to level it out. The 95' Z in the background has been my DD for 6 years. Has 235k and its all origional. I still plan to drive it some to keep it running good.

Can the bars be de-cranked on a NNBS to lower the front a little? I was thinking about taking the blocks out of the rear with the shackles I already have. I think it would make the back lower than the front if I did that without doing something to the front.
