Default Not as nice as some, but nice enough for me...

...as my daily driver.

I just picked this up last Monday evening...it's a 2002 Silverado LT w/Z71 suspension. After waxing it yesterday, I suddenly remembered why I swore I'd never own another black vehicle...lol. But they do look awesome when cleaned up...darn shame the clean and mean look doesn't last.

Thanks, fwiw, I did get a Super44 Flowmaster welded in Friday after work, and got the front door windows tinted to match the rest. At least I can actually hear the thing running now, lol...HPTuners license for this one is coming soon too.

In the meantime, I downloaded the stock tune out of it yesterday, just to look and see what was what...Can't believe that this thing even runs as well as it does with 11 degrees total timing at WOT...

Thanks. I see in your sig:

Belltech Keys, Belltech 2" Shackles, 4x4 Lift Blocks Removed
The 4x4 lift blocks being removed is self-explanatory.

May I ask...

What are Belltech "keys"?

and...Are the 2" shackles needed due to the blocks being removed?

Thanks, Bob

Nice truck, mine also started as a Z71. I removed the blocks in the rear and plan on getting some lowering spindles and 2"shackles for a little better stance.

Do you have any profile shots of yours with just the blocks removed?
I assume you need to also get shorter u-bolts with that mod?

Thanks for the kind words guys!

The pic in my sig is with the blocks removed only. I got the shorter U bolts from a two wheel drive truck I parted out.
