b) 2" drop shackles
c) escalade handles on all 4 doors
d) billet antenna
e) billet grille w/o gmc emblem
f) mp3 compatible head unit
g) spray-in or carpeted bedliner

nothing performance oriented.....

I like no rent, going to keep it that way for another year or so.

good luck with the leave it stock thing. The LONGEST I have ever made it with a new vehicle before tearing into was 4 months, and that's with the current ride.

That's a decent list to start with, but I'd change that drop to a 2 front/3 back instead of just a 2 in rear.

I dont think the current tires will clear that kind of drop and then i'd have to buy 4 new lower profile tires. that's why i dont want to do an entire drop, plus it rides nice the way it is and I know shackles wont affect it much.

Im 19 and been out of my house for a little over a year now. Buuut if I had to do it all over again I'd put up with my stepdads **** a little longer to save more money for mods.
