C-Dub'sZ71

Hello All, I got my truck back in January and have done some tinkering here and there but havent been able to throw up any pictures until this last week so I thought Id add to this thread to show off what Ive done so far. Threw on some N-Fab side steps 5% tint in rear, 20% on front two windows, and 5% eyebrow tailgate badge removal the bilstein 5100 suspension swap which leveled it out within 1/2" and allowed me to mount my 33" nitto ridge grapplers. Installed a flowmaster super 10 series and had it dumped right before the rear axle. Ronin Factory stubby antenna Frame Hole Plugs Bed rail plugs WeatherTech Floor Mats S&B Cold air Intake I ordered my gorecon blacked out LED tail lights for trucks that have factory LED's and they should be in by today!! Also have my 3M vinyl to black out the red on the Z71 badges just havent gotten to it yet. I still need to order the Bakflip folding bed cover. Also want to do a full grille swap and install the TREX x series. Also need to get the black powder coated SDHQ skid plate to do the full airdam removal(removed lower portion already).

I personally don’t like RC, I’ve had several friends that have had real bad luck with their stuff. I know some people on here run them and love them but incase you wanted to go with something else that won’t necessarily break the bank you might look at readylift UCA’s. I found them for 30% off on amazon. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

For you guys that installed the eibachs did you replace your UCA’s? Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Not to add any additional second guessing but have you looked at the eibach pro lift? It’s a bit cheaper than the other two but a definite improvement over the factory. If you have looked at it and decided against it just disregard this message. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

https://www.otrattw.net/ They have a bunch of different styles and allow you to customize them with whatever you want it to say! Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Got the idea from this thread and wanted to share the finished result! Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Here are the pictures I promised you! The tires really don’t stick out at all. Full tilt front of the tire plenty of room Full tilt back of the tire: there is actually more room then the picture shows, just under an inch, just hard to get a good angle for the picture Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Ya I don’t think the more aggressive tread would be a significant enough difference to cause you any issues, and I feel like there is plenty of room but I haven’t actually gotten down there and looked how close it is at full tilt. The bilsteins give you 0-2” so at full extension it’s a perfect level . I’ll take some pictures when I get back home of the tires at full tilt so hopefully you can see if there is enough room and I will also take some from a side view showing how much they stick out.

Just bought the Bilstein 5100s and leveled my z71. I went with 33x12.5 Nitto Ridge Grapplers with stock 18s and I have 0 rubbing issues with no trimming needed. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

where did you get the cover plate?

I wasn't sure if I wanted to white out led stripping in the cab and behind the grill but after seeing that red I think my mind is changed!!! Do you have any links or brands? Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

I actually wired the fog lights direct into the original fog light wiring harness so they will come on when I hit the fog light switch inside the cab and the spots I'm going to wire separately but I haven't fully decided where I'm going to put the switch inside the cab... any suggestions would be appreciated lol Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

As far as the housing itself there wasn't a ton of shaving I had to do just some minor work in a few areas so I could get the lights in the right position. The majority of the cutting was on the shroud that fits on the front of the housing and that was fairly substantial. Parts were all purchased through Amazon: Midnight spots - Rigid Industries 20221BLK D-Series Midnight Edition Black Spot Optic, Pair SAE Fogs - Rigid Industries 50481 D-Series SAE Fog Light Set Fog light bracket - Rigid Industries 46517 Fog Light Mount Kit The mount kit isn't technically the right one because they don't make a mounting bracket that fits two D series lights for these trucks(hence all the modifications I had to do) but I was able to make it work!

Changed out the factory fog lights and went with a set of rigid midnight edition spots and a set of rigid SAE fog lights. Took a bit of modification to the factory fog light housing but I love the look so all the work was worth it! Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Ya I love the look of the lights after you painted them!! I have the midnight edition Silverado and everything on the truck is pretty much black with some chrome accents accept for the god awful amber turn signals. I was looking at painting them until I saw your post about the klearz's now im kind of in a quandary as to what I want to do!

have you gotten your turn signals in yet? would love to see a picture of the finished product!!! Did you go clear on the lenses or smoked? which is darker smoked or smoke 5%

What lift is this?

http://gm-navigation.com/2013-2015-gm-video-in-motion-and-navigation-unlock.html I found the right module but it doesn't list the price, it just asks you to contact them. I also found them on Amazon for $250 http://www.amazon.com/Video-Motion-Navigation-Unlock-HMI/dp/B018F3I7B2/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1458846669&sr=8-1&keywords=GM+Video+In+Motion+And+Navigation+Unlock+For+HMI

What module did you buy because I looked on their website and I couldn't find the one that enables the text messaging. I found the one that bypasses the navigation and video watching but it didn't say that it enabled the texting option.
