Good to know! Thanks for the info.

Changing out the brake lines is a great way to firm up the overall system. I may be adding some when I decide to do my brakes to help add additional braking power. Don't let the negative comments keep you from doing anything. According to Stoptech website, they offer the front set part number#950.66002. Good luck!

I made my own conclusion. I flipped the label and ran in the orientation as the OE shocks. If you look at most OE shock/strut bodies, the boots are typically on top. With this particular boot and type of shock it really shouldn't matter. This boot is sealed at both ends to protect from elements. I think it looks better with it up as well.

I don't think it really matters but I installed mine just like factory... boot on top. I actually removed the label and flipped it so it reads correctly.

Good deal! Very happy with mine!!

So I installed just the rear 5100's along with the Hellwig swaybar. Completely night and day difference in how connected to the road the truck feels and handles. This is an NHT truck. I mean it feels solid! It feels like the shocks are actually "absorbing" the roughs in the road instead of ignoring. It's crazy. I'll be installing the fronts very soon.

Finally bit the bullet on an exhaust... I was itchin for a little more power and sound. Ended up with the MBRP Aluminized S5086AL 3.5" system after some good reviews of the sound. Very happy! Found a killer deal in the Amazon Warehouse..$268 shipped. Parts came in brand new, intact, and with all hardware. Score! I decided to order the Summit SS lapband clamps to use for connecting points instead of the U-bolt clamps so no crimping. Got the old sewer pipe out in 1pc just in case I wanted to swap it back for some reason. Installed the new system sewer system piece by piece and everything went together perfect although I did have to massage one hanger. Snugged all the clamps checked for clearance, then tightened them up. I'll do a recheck of all the clamp bolts after running a few hot/cold cycles. Sounds really good! It's quite a bit louder but I like it. It honestly feels like there is more usable power down low. Seems stronger on little bursts when I mash the go pedal.

Thanks for the tips guys.. I'll be installing mine soon!

Yes sir!

Hell yeah!! My DC is an amazing piece of American work!!

Meant to say OEM HID color not OEM color... That would be a lower temp. Good luck with the blue stuff!

Wow indeed! It's night and day. I think I was misunderstood.. 4500K for OEM HID look not the crap our trucks come with. That would be an even lower color temp. When you start getting higher on the scale such as a 5500, yes it starts to look blue. And blue is horrendous but that's just my opinion.

Hmmmm... I've found 4500k to be the closest to OEM color. The standard DDM kit I used on my G8 was this color and it was just perfect. Higher temps start getting away from that OEM look. Although it might be different with this new system they are offering so you might call them and ask.

Damn, here's another 6.2 in the 70's. Stock 15 Denali 4x4. http://www.gm-trucks.com/forums/topic/179382-new-personal-best-2015-sierra-62/

There's always uni's. And of course conditions always which affect the DA. Sure 13's aren't fast for typical gearhead, but running some 13's in a 5500lb stock brick and get 20+mpg is impressive to me! Good luck with that 8sec beast!
