How's the truck running? Did I see that you lowered the front? I recall you saying you changed up the rear shackles but don't recall seeing anything about the rear block or the front.

Nah nothing to the front, it's still all stock. In the rear I removed the blocks and installed the lowering shackles.

Truck is running great, traction is still a problem though lol

Changed up the air intake a little today. The bypass no longer dumps into the elbow and I found a filter that is a little larger and has more surface area and should flow a little better.

A few pics




Going to angle the bypass tube down since it kinda echos off the fender right now. Eventually going to get a big red or Vortec valve like Mangled did.

Was an eBay setup, would have to try and find the seller again. Install wasn't bad at all, it's an overlay so removed the gmc badge and the. It's secured to the stock grill. Will be custom mounts with the stock grill cut out eventually

Search billet 3 piece grill and should find it on eBay. It came with a section for the lower area, I'm just not sure I want to get rid of my tow hooks so I can mount it
