Default Z71 transition over the past year...

So here are some pics of my truck and the tinkering i've done over the last year or so. Let me know which u liked best. Interested since I seem to never keep it the same very long.

Week of purchase:



With 33's and 1" bodylift:



Swapped 33's on 17's for 20's:



Took off flares, de-cranked keys:



Removed rear blocks and added front fascia (current):

You're going in the right direction.

looks pretty good.
So wait, did you lower it after putting the 1'' BL? so you're sitting at stock height with a BL?
Seems like you changed your mind after some time.

Nice truck. The current configuration is definitely the best. I'd remove the Z71 decal and get some color matched door handles. Where did you get that front airdam? Looks good! I got one on my truck but it's about an inch shorter than yours. I didn't know there were 2 different types.

Looking good, I like the direction that you're going I agree with the suggestions to get shackles and keys, color match the door handles, and remove the Z71 decals. I think that the lower front valance would look good color-matched also.
