All I want to the truck now is to remove the molding, color matched handles, and HD grille maybe a cowl hood. But I can't decide if I wanna color match my front and rear bumper. And I have this wierd feeling that I wanna take my tailgate off and run a net and see what it looks like. What do you guys think

I did color matched handles on mine. I have a Tahoe/Suburban grille. Going to install the billet inserts in it off of my old truck. I pulled the body side molding off right away when I got the truck. I like the chrome bumpers way too much to paint them. I am on the fence about a color matched bumper cap, I think it will get scratched up easy. That keeps me from pulling the trigger on that. I am also installing a stepside bed from my old truck once I paint it. I will be color matching the handle and bezel on that bed when I paint.

Im bought new foglights for the truck and im getting tired of hitting my bumpstops everytime i hit a bump or floor the truck. so im gonna buy a c notch and then front shocks and then sway bars and back to motor stuff. I have a horrible squeek from the leafsprings that i cant pinpoint so thats whats been going on so far haha. I just want a nice comfy ride while being lowered and the c notch and blown front shocks are killing the ride quality pretty bad.

Update 6/16/2016:
I got my c notch in....sorta it has 2 bolts in one side and 3 on other..... Seems to hold up for a could days until i can get another sawzaw to cut the other side and a drill that will drill the rest of the holes but i can tell already that the c notch is so much better just from one side being done.
