lol "am i sure its an 06"
yes its an 06 but there was damage done to the hood and grille before i got it and they had replaced it with what you see here. i guess the guys that did the body work couldnt tell the difference or couldnt find one find one. I would love to put the stock hd hood and grille on it like it came with, but its kinda expensive.

Damn, wouldn't go there again. Good info here, when I lower my truck the rest of the way I'll use the same shocks. Ya, leave your truck outside on a hot day and those decals will peel off no problem. It looks really really good now.

Truck looks great man, it's nice to see a 4x4 sittin that low. I really like those wheels too, they're my favorite GMT900 wheel. Glad to hear that you like the Belltech shocks, they're on my wish list also, my stock length Bilsteins are pretty compressed.

You need to get the rear hangers and some spindles so you can get that low!
