Hey guys and gals, I'm looking to replace / upgrade the headlights on my 2001 Sierra 1500, as 20 years of sandblasting has taken their toll. I was looking at HID Xenon + 99-06 GMC Sierra kit on one of the sites, it looks like a complete kit, plus $15 bucks for a harness. The description reads professional install recommended. Has anyone done this?

  Your truck lowered, looks good. I'm happy with the stance on this. I may need the extra ground clearance given my location/situation.

  With this new pan, do you still use the same procedure to check the level? Its a deeper pan and our trucks do not have a fill tube/dipstick. So fill till fluid runs out the check plug?

  On mine? Yes. But I did it rather expensively. I had Deaver Springs make new rear springs with a 2" lower arch and then removed the nearly 2 inch thick spring to axle spacer. The front is Bell Tech 2" drop knuckles. Rear shocks, stock, were several inches over mid stroke so when I bought the King shocks I used the OEM length with the drop to put it at dead mid stroke. Fronts are King Coil Over OEM replacements with 600# springs. Again sits mid stroke. Deaver, King Suspension and Ben at Filthy Motorsports were all involved. Lots of measurements and lots of conferences but it came out spot on first time around. The 2" I link I sent you would use the factory shocks and coil overs or any other OEM type replacement units you like. I assumed from your thread that keeping the factory feel and ride quality was likely. My project intended to change the very nature of the beast and it did.

  Yes back when all the stuff started in Iran. Had a small price increase, then another one. Supposedly temporary. But who really knows for sure as long as there is turmoil in the middle east.
