Wrecked Old Truck.. Getting A New One.. Few Questions

Sierra250004 · October 21, 2009

Well last friday i swerved at a deer and ended up losing control :/ flipped my 04 2500 and totaled it. Well i know. shoulda hit the ****er. But anyways.. got insurance money and about to get a 08 sierra 1500 all terrain edition. I have a few questions.

I want to run a true dual exhaust.. Wat needs to be done?

Would a 3 inch suspension lift kit on top of a 2 inch body lift look bad? what size tire would i be able to fit?

I got nothing except:

Glad you're OK. And remember, hindsight is 20/20.

I have a ranchhand grill guard. I dont swerve anymore. I square up on them.

Glad everyone is safe. Looks like the passenger compartment survive as designed.

Can't offer an opinion on the lift, but glad you're ok.

damn, your lucky you were in a chevy, i would have just hit that deer!

I'm glad you're ok. But, maybe you should have just hit the deer. You had the bull bar/ grill guard. But, then again, when something like that happens, you pretty much react by instinct.

what good would a bull bar do. You might have a chance with a grill guard, more support on those but a bull bar? those things are just for looks. As for the Grill Guard, I sure am glad I never got one for my Sierra, the headlights would look very.. gay.. Not to bad a looking for the Silverado though.

i think that's a natural reaction- trying to avoid a collision altogether. glad you came out uninjured, good luck with the new purchase

Glad to hear that you're ok. Not too sure about the exhaust, but on to the lift. For the cost of a quality 3" suspension and a 2" body lift, I would recommend a 6" suspension. It will cost about the same and give you that extra inch. As far as tires go, if you stick to your original plan I would go with a 33x12.50. With 6" you can run 35's with trimming, although 33's would still look fine.
