Lots of options. Check this thread out for some inspiration. I know the owner of the truck and it's going to be a beast when it's done. He has all the supporting mods and will eventually be putting a 2300 on top of the 5.3. Things gonna be mean

dont get me wrong i love my rcsb easy to drive but yet still a truck, but i hate DD it rides like hay wagon and rattles like a pop can rolling down the road. i would kill for a cc at any given moment. But 56k for every CC on the lot is out of the question. live and learn i guess

i am only buying it because i love the way regular cab looks lowered and it helps that its the lightest as well.....5.3 have same trans as the 6.2 for 2012 ?

Yes, and yes. 6.2 and 5.3 have the 6L80E, while the 4.8 continues with the 4L60E.
