My new truck. I plan on putting a Rc level on it for now until the bilstein 6112 shocks are available. I plan on changing the bow tie to black as well.

Took some inserts out. I like this look better

This is one of the ones off eBay, come all black. luckily my local truck acc shop had one there so i just grabbed it from them.

 

requires you to pull your front bumper cap off to get to get to the grille bolts but its not to bad...but for an ebay grille it fits well and the gmc badge clicked right in.

That grill looks good, I've been scoping it on eBay for awhile. Can you save your old grill from the surround or do you need to chop it out ?

Here's my 2015 5.3. I originally had a 2.5" leveling kit but decided to install Fox shocks on all corners, Cognito upper control arms, and a 2" block in the rear. I think I'm done for a while!

How much nicer does your truck ride going with the new shocks and c.a. setup vs the leveling kit?

 

City, off-road, speed bumps etc

I'll PM you but its the best set of upgrades I've done so far. I'll never have another truck without this or a similar set up if I can help it. Edited by TheArizonaPatriot

Looks good. What all plans do you have for it?

It has a Motofab 1.5 level kit, debadged and door molding removed, weathertech floor mats, trying to decide on wheels. I am thinking 22" Ck 156 reps but having a hard time deciding, then maybe tint and be done. Thanks for the compliment!

Thanks! Yeah I am having a very hard time picking out wheels, I like the stock ones just think they look a tad too small. I even thought about some 22" ltz polished reps. Not sure what to do.....

Already debadged, still undecided on what is going to get done to it next.

Nope it's a direct swap, all you have to do is swap out the stock grille for this one, has all the mounts on it already

No problem!. It's gonna look a lot better once you get some wheels on there, 22's will look pretty awesome. That's my problem, I can't figure out a wheel for mine either... Trying to find a way to get my bumpers, headlight trim wrapped, I've seen others say they were quoted 200-300, just got a reply back from one of the shops who specializes in it and they quotes just a little over $900. So idk which to do first.

I'm also running a 1.5in level and was wanting to run 275/60/20s but wasn't positive it would fit without rubbing. I've got a couple of questions if you don't mind. Do you have a pics down the side of the truck from front and back?? Also what is your front wheel well height through the center of the wheel?? I'm assuming no rubbing, but how close are you to rubbing with the +15 offset, I was looking at either +12 or +00 offset and would like to get an idea at what I may run into trouble wise. Thanks.

No pictures, and can't take them right now as had to send the wheels back for a defect.

Zero rubbing. Looks like there might be room for a 275/65/20 with some rubbing on the inner fender.

The rears were almost exactly flush with the outside of the fender, on the front the sidewall bulge of the tire stuck out about 1/4" past the edge.

Closest pics I have to show it.

And since the new wheels are out, put my old wheels on it for now.

17x8.5", +25, Well worn 285/70-17 Nitto's.
