Default Truck Update

It's not done yet, but thanks to "Lowdown" on FSC.com for photoshopping what my truck will look like by Christmas.

Tell me what you guys think.

What the truck looked like the day I got it:


What's to come:


Additions include: Colormatched all-around, American Racing 16" Teflon Wheels, Front Matched Window Tint, De-Stickered.

It will look much better! Good call on removing the molding, debadging, and colormatching. Those wheels are darker than how they look in the photoshop. It will still look as good though.

Right now there's 60 profile tires and I'll be getting a 4"-6" drop soon too.

truck looks great so far man. you ever consider rockin the 17" chevy wheels like these?


imo id just remove the 4wd blocks and run the 2wd ubolts instead of doing a 3/4, its 4x4, leave it with a little height lol
heres the P/N from GM for the 2wd Ubolts, thats the cheapest way to get 2" drop outta a NBS 4x4

Pretty much the same **** I did. The moulding is a PIA to get off, if thats photo shopped here are som tips. Get it nice and warm with a hair dryer than start peeling it off. Go get an eraser wheel for your drill, its get all the sticky **** off ALOT faster.

For your drop get some 3/4 ton keys remove the blocks and do a 2" shackles. I used ground force nitro drop shocks off a SS 2-2 drop. I bought the ubolts on ebay for 20 bucks new. Much cheaper than GM .


It should look sweet when you're done.
