Nate here -

Living in Maine.

First truck was a 1993 s10 4.3L 5 speed

Second truck was a 1985 k10 lifted 4"

Third truck was an 2008 1500 slt quad cab

Current truck is a 2015 all-terrain 1/2 ton

I can dig up pics of the old ones if interested.

Current truck has a 2" RC level and that's about it. So far...

I had thoughts of replacing that with a 3.5" lift/level from RC, but looked into the install and there's cross-member cutting etc. involved and not sure I'm into it for a little more height. Truck came with the 20" z-71 wheels (I call them). I would like to replace with some fuel mavericks with a small offset at some point. Of course that worries me about chips on the side of the truck. I would also like to replace the stock mirrors with tow mirrors, I like the look and visibility is great. Had them on the last truck. Digging around this seems to be more of a headache than I realized. oEM mirrors will require new harnesses for both doors. I think I found some plug and play from 1aauto.com that might work out. I would like to retain all power features. This package also has a lot of chrome, a little too much for my liking, but that isn't a deal breaker. I would like to eventually have the color matched tow mirror caps and door handles.

Anyways more to come, here's a pic of what I have now. Look forward to chatting and let me know what you think about above. Thanks!

If you decide to get those new wheels and would like to part with those factory 20s, do tell. I'm a short drive away in NH

Welcome! Your truck looks great! If it was mine, I'd keep the wheels and level as is, but maybe the chrome above the windows would disappear! A premium set of tires would be where I put my money. You already have great looking and highly sought after wheels!
