Here is the truck with some tint and a RC 2.5 level kit. I just need to get my tires. Im thinking of doing 275/60r20, they are just the right price and they will fit with no issues and no fuss.

The kit has 2 inch blocks in the rear. So you remove the 1 inch block and replace it with the 2 inch. The kit is totally worth it. $140 bucks to make the truck look right.

Had my newborn son out with me, teaching him how to wax the truck! Got to start them young! Lol

I like these wheels so much.... Picking up my 2015 custom sport plus LTZ Z71 Silverado with 2LZ on Wednesday... I may want to swap out the black 22's for these!

What wheels are these? Look like OEM style 26"s? WOWSERS... I want 24" OEM style replicas if I can find them... Larger OEM style wheels look stock, but way better than 22" IMHO.

nice little wash the other day i had off.......

 

305/55/20 Mastercraft Courser MXT's on a 2" leveling kit..I feel like it needs just a bit more lift....if i jump to the 2.5" RC kit would it give me a little bump from what I have already? The tires rub just a tad at full lock but nothing a little trimming didn't take care of?

Picked up my Darth Vader looking 2015 Silverado Custom Sport Plus LTZ Z-71. I love it.

 

My initial thoughts and questions:

 

Going with Gibson or Corsa, haven't decided yet. I like the factory tip so much, I may just start with replacing the factory muffler and go from there. Those of you who went with Gibson, what part # did you use?

 

Anyone else have an issue with the factory vinyl tonneau cover bouncing around while driving at high speeds? IT seems like someone may have taken it off and not re-installed it correctly. I haven't had much time with it, but I can't even figure out how to take it off. The metal support rods that run perpendicular to the bed are bouncing up and down, under the vinyl. Just an annoying sound, that's all.

 

Only had 10 miles on it when I get it. Got a great deal, otherwise was going to wait for 2016. I like the looks of this better anyhow.

The dealer said it was the most expensive half ton they ever had on the lot, made me feel a bit foolish, but I got a good deal.

 

The 22" wheels looked ugly as hell in photos, but in person they are SWEET. I will not be swapping these out like I thought I would (unless I can find a 24" OEM repro on eBay)...

Does anyone know if there are center caps with black bowties? I black out the bowties and the center caps and steering wheel all come in gold. I saw what Chevy offers, and they don't offer black.

 

6.2L Engine, 8 speed Tranny with every option available..... Overkill I know. Sorry for rambling, been reading for a month and wanted to wait until I signed the paperwork to post like this.

Better photos to follow.

 

PS - the OEM headlight performance isn't THAT bad. Sure, it is ugly, yellow halogen light, but I could see just fine. This forum scared the crap out of me when I started reading over the month it took to find this very truck I was looking for. I almost decided to buy a Raptor. I'm SO glad I didn't now. The hi-beams are very serviceable, probably going to swap out the 9005's for an HIR1 (9011) and going to swap out the H11's for an H9. Both are two halogen bulbs that are 65W instead of 55W, with increased lumens. I will post back with my findings. Sure, my '07 Escalade had better light, as does my wife's 2012 Mercedes GL450. Heck, my mom's 2004 Cadillac SRX had the best HIDs I've ever seen. Those are true HD. I would compare these trucks to the '07-14 GMC Denali headlights. Not THAT bad, but not HID either... If I can find a set of OEM housings in black for $300-400 (GM made, not knockoff), I will do the FXR-3.0 conversion with 4300K HID D2S bulbs. I will keep a stock set at all times because of the issues I read about with the HID retrofits. Just my .02 after reading all of the 133 pages, 1991 posts in the MotoMedic created (http://www.gm-trucks.com/forums/user/34923-motomedic/) "HID Headlight Bulbs / HID Projector Retrofit" (http://www.gm-trucks.com/forums/topic/152762-hid-headlight-bulbs-hid-projector-retrofit/page-1) post. It was a chore to read, so, I think it would be helpful if the Sierra's and Silverado's were seperate. It seemed like 2/3rds of the post were related to Sierra, and 1/3rd related to Silverado.

I wanted a different color but since a new one was out of my budget i got a used one.... Was between this and a 2013 GMC Sierra All terrain.... I went with this since its the new body style.... Its grown on me.... I do also have a 2005 colorado that is white on 20s and slammed :D
