White front and rear GMC emblems

 

In Progress:

6" Fabtech Lift

20x10 -24 offset Moto Metal MO970 wheels

35x12.50R20 Nitto Trail Grapples

 

Future Mods:

Bushwacker Fender Flares painted to match (waiting on them to release White Frost Tricoat)

I went with the Gen 2 kit. I liked that the Gen 2 stated it did not widen factory track width, also I didn't really wanna go the slight rake route of the add a leaf.

Small update. I got a call from the guys putting the lift on and he wanted to trade the wheels off my truck for a Bak Revolver X2. Seemed like a fair enough deal to me so looks like that gets moved up on the time line.

I was gonna go that route as well but I did the zone 6.5 and am running spacers in the rear. It's gonna look awesome man here's mine with the same tires you are getting

Yeah man I'm ready. That is one sweet looking ride. Curse the delivery gods for making me wait, lol.

Ok guys so here she is. I was also able to get a Bak Revolver X2 installed and get a Diablo Sport I2030 tuner. I will be waiting to tune until I get the magnetic ride censors re-calibrated next Friday.

Bushwacker is saying they will have rivet style pocket fender flares available next week. Now the questions becomes do I go black flares or have them color matched white frost. This truck is becoming my new addiction, lol.

Had the dealer re-calibrate the magnetic ride sensors today and it seems to made a good bit of difference. I can actually tell now when the suspension adjust. It's still not factory ride but much better. I also dropped in the i2030 tuner today with the 93 octane tune. The power seems to be improved and not switching back and forth to v4/v8 is nice. Loving the speedometer being correct as well. Now just can't wait for diablo to update the tunes so that it can tune the transmission.
