I picked up a new truck last week and figured I would post up some pic.

Pretty clean truck and low miles. So far the plans are just to level it out, wheels and clean her up but it never stops there. I still have a wideband O2 and HP Tuners so I'm sure as soon as I have some time I'll try to schedule some time for a tune. Anyone have any idea what gains are reasonable for an intake tune and exhaust?

After a week I was able to get rid of some stickers, emblems, tow mirrors and install the Escalade door handles. I'm still on the fence with regards to the chrome spears on the doors bu I have a few items on my list to knock off befre I get to tha. I'll be installing the Magnaflow cat back and Bilstein 5100 shocks next week, and possibly my Volant CAI.

Getting rid of the spears and flares along with raising the bumper would make a huge difference.

I like the idea of raising the front bumper. I looked at the bumper mounts today to see what's involved but I didn't have enough time to pull things apart. I'm thinking your right with the spears but I want to go with a 20x10 with 33s so the flares are going to stick arround till I see the wheel and lift combo.

Congrats on the new truck Neil. It looks just as clean as your lowered one.

Thanks Jason.

I don't know how it worked out that way. I really liked my Arrival Blue Silverado but they only made them for two years, so there's not to many of them that come up for sale. I wasn't even really looking but this one was just to good of a deal to pass up.

So I got The front bumper lifted up today. The process was more involved than I expected but I still think the results are worth it. Cleans up the front quite a bit. Also got the shocks on today and leveled it out. Hard to see in the pic but I'll post some more pics in better light. As soon as I have some cash on hand from selling my other truck the rims and tires will be the last of the mods for a while.Name:  sierra1.jpg

You really did a great job with that 2500. Complete transformation.

Only other changes I would make would be fully painted tow mirrors and clearing the front lights.
