Took delivery of my 2017 Silverado last month. Traded my Lifted 2013 for it. As delivered:

Got it home and debadged it, removed Z71 stickers, and removed the lower valance.

 

Installed a billet grille emblem, stubby antenna, LED, cargo, reverse, and plate lights, truxedo titanium tonneau, lloyds floor mats, Airaid MIT and the "bed grab" plates.

Next it went in for a lift, tint, and CM'ing an OEM chrome pull tailgate handle. Also wrapped the "Z" on the grill Z71. Cut off the muffler and welded in a stainless 3" dynomax bullet dumped over the axle.

Lift specs are

4.5" Zone with a 3" block instead of the 4" and 1.5" Bora rear wheel spacers

305/55 Toyo AT2

20x10 Provas

Fenders are 42.75 front and 42 rear

 

This is also my winter setup, my spring/summer/fall setup is 22x10 American Force Grip ss6 on 33x12.5x22 Toyo AT2.

 

Pics as it sits now:

I also angled the valance to make it "flow" better

truck looks beautiful! Mods are very tastefully done - front end looks great and the stance looks good too - I like the shorter hidden/tucked exhaust tip a lot - Nice job!

How bad does the side of the truck eat rocks? I have fuel rims with 33's, not even negative offset, along with bushwacker fender flares and I cringe every time I clean it because the amount of chips I find lol I've learned to live with them but I'm always curious to hear about trucks like these where the tires stick wayyy out. Nonetheless it's still a gorgeous truck [emoji1419] well done.

thanks, and not very bad at all. My last truck had 53k on it and had very few tiny tiny chips.

looks good . rock chips - I used 3m clear film form the side molding down (wheel to wheel ) , same stuff I used on hood 8" strip , mirror caps, grill , bumper . Something to think about.

My problem might just be that I'm a farmer though, Toyos and caliche roads are quite the combo lol i'm just gunna go out on a limb and say you probably don't go down many roads that would even throw rocks anyways? Not judging or anything but it's just extremely crazy that with that much poking out the side isn't getting shredded. But I will for sure be looking into the 3M film once I get the paint buffed and all that good stuff
