  1. Thank you! I will have the bumpers and grill done here in a few weeks and will send pictures when I am finished with those
  2. I just got done doing my mirrors and door handles, 3M 1080 Satin Frozen Vanilla is a pretty close match and probably the closest you will get. Here's the link: https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B078X3WMDG/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_asin_title_o00_s00?ie=UTF8&th=1
  3. Just to update anyone who is interested, I went with the 6" Fabtech, and 35 X 12.5 Toyo AT 2's with Hostile Sprockets, wheels should be here this week or next week, and I will post some pics when its done. Just wanted to say thank you for everyone's help with this process.
  4. Well with the zone kits they are actually the same price for the 4.5 and 6.5, so that is why I don't want to regret not going bigger when I could have for the same price. But I do see where you are coming from.
  5. Alright, thank you for the information, really appreciate it. By the way clean looking truck!
  6. So no cutting the cross members or anything like that except for the tie rods and dust shield?
  7. Yea, I do understand that lifting a 2wd can be impractical, but I love the look of the bigger tires and I hate the rake it is has right now. I figured I would give it a try and live with my decision, love it or hate it, until it is time to get a new one. Thank you for the advice.
  8. Thanks for the input and great pictures! Definitely still bouncing around all these ideas in my head right now.
  9. Sweet looking truck! I love how the new Chevy's look lifted. I am set on the Toyo AT 2's, so knowing now the 305/55's only run a 20" rim, but they are about 0.8 inches bigger then the 33X12.5, would these even be a noticeable difference, or should I save the $250 difference and go with the 32.5's?
  10. I have read many forums on here and have been looking for something that could answer my questions, so instead of searching I decided to make an account, okay so I plan on lifting my 2016 Sierra 1500 (2wd), and I have been trying to decide between the Zone 4.5, Zone 6.5, Rough Country 5in, and the Fabtech 6in. I know that there is bit of a price difference between the RC and Zone compared to the Fabtech. So it would be nice to save the couple hundred bucks and maybe put it towards a color match for the bumpers. I plan on running Toyo AT 2's 305/55 with either 20 or 22 by 12 wheels. I don't want to regret not going bigger, but don't want my tires to look small on the Zone 6.5 or Fabtech 6in. I would consider 35's but would be concerned with the performance after adding the bigger tires as I have 3.42 gears, and I really do not want to re-gear, along with the other benefits of running 33's. I have seen a couple pictures of trucks with 6in lifts and 33's that don't look too bad, but it can be hard to tell as other ones look tiny, and how it would actually look in person. I considered maybe doing the Zone 4.5 and adding Bilstein 5100's (go up 1.5 in) and the Add a leaf, for a little more height, for trying to find that happy in between. She will be a pavement princess because it is a 2wd afterall, I tow very rarely, and occasionally have a load in the back, but otherwise I use it as my daily driver. I will be installing this lift myself and reading through the installations on the Zone, the installation seems pretty easy, just time consuming, where as the Rough Country requires drilling on the lower control arm and the crossmember. What are your suggestions as to how the 305/55 tires would look with the Fabtech or Zone 6.5? Is there that much of a noticeable difference between the height of the zone 4.5 and rough country 5in? Because the Zone sometimes appears to look taller in some pictures. Also if I go with the Zone 4.5 with Bilstein's and add a leaf, what would the truck theoretically sit at after adding them? If I am not going to be towing should I even worry about re-gearing if I went with the 35's? Any pictures would be great as well.
