It took me a while also. I also loosened the bed bolts also to give it some give when I was knocking the bolt out. After I removed the bolt I cut off the bolt lip on the head so it would be easier to knock it back in.
I agree courts94s. I think GM finally realized that they don't need to put all that badging to the trucks to look good. Most people take them off as soon as they buy them. I love this color I hoe you will too!
What brand of tires are you running? I am running 305/45/22 Yokohama. I took these tires and wheels off my 2010 and I will have to replace them probably next year and I am looking for something else.
I installed my two in drop yesterday on my 14. The hardest part of the whole thing was folding over the bed seam to get the bolt out. If I didn't have to do that it would have been about an hour job. To make the job easier I cut the lip on one side of the bolt so it would go back easier. I have the 1/2 in block but the alignment holes didn't fit and it didn't lay flat. LTZ Tom what did you do to make it fit? He is the before and after.
I had two people ding my truck and I hadn't had it a month yet. I wet sanded the scratch with 3000 grit first to get the scratch out. then I used 3m compound, Meguiar's compound and polish, then wax. It got it all out. You have to watch the wet sanding so you don't go thru the clear coat. That's why I use 3000. I hope this helps!
I have 305/45/22 on my truck. They came from my 2010 and I had them switched over. They fit much better on the 14 than they did on the 10. I say 22s look good on the truck with the wide tire. These pics are not great but you can see them from the front to let you see how far they stick out. I was taking a pic of my 62. I hope this helps a little.
I agree with that. My 2010 had way too much on the sides, so I took off the moldings, and badges to give it a cleaner look. Thats what I really like about this truck, no moldings and extra badges. Thanks for the info!
