What's the plan for 2021, Truck wise?

[Eddie 70]

Continue to enjoy not having payments on a truck!! I'm still hoping for at least a few more years out of it. I'm at 113k miles.

Hi, all! New here, but for 2021: 3" Motofab level kit and Motofab UCA with 1" rear block and a 1.5" Zone body lift as well as the Zone add-a-leaf.
I've already added more than I can think of in 2020 - tow mirrors with factory harness, dealer installed, (just ordered pgamboa's harness for the turn signals), rear bed camera (dealer installed), trailer brake (dealer installed), rear under seat gun safe, chevy full floor mats, driver side grab handle, front illuminated bow-tie - all black bow-ties, color matched splash gaurds, roll bed cover, Chevy branded door sills - I think that's it.

Mispelling - sorry, thought of another 2020 addition.

Talked to my lift kit guy today to see how busy he is to do my body lift. He is busy. Probably won't be until April. That's cool with me so I told him to pencil me in. So then I started to look into new tires today. Nitto Ridge Grapplers again only a little bigger. 38x13.50R20.
An inch taller an inch wider.
Best price is at Big O Tires. $442 each. $80 to mount. $50 new balance beads. With tax $2000.
Problem is that size is on backorder. Made a bunch of calls and emails to Nitto directly and waiting on a available date.
I think I may have to order them now just in case.
I knew this may happen.

Dammit big money lol u doing a 1.5 BL?

[dieselfan1]

Yea. Zone 1.5".
My guy is installing it for $325. Total including the kit.
I thought that was a good deal.
Should put the big girl another 2" closer to the cloud.
The wider tires are going to look so much better than the 12.50's.

Want to change the exhaust to duals out the sides angled behind the tires. Trying to decide on what new shocks to go with too. Would love to regear from 3:08 to 3:73 but that’s not gonna be cheap. 

Got parts to knock one thing off my list. Eibach Pro Truck lift and 2” rear blocks. Waiting for warmer weather to install.

I'm just waiting for warmer weather period. [emoji3063]

Posted over on the Summit White thread.
Got the splash guards on this week and Zone body lift done on Saturday - minus the rear bumper bracket raise - I tired out by the time it was all on - got the front bumper lift done, though.

Wow! No one in my area would even touch a body lift install - had to do it myself.
That's a great deal!

He installed my 9" McGaughys lift kit for $725+ 80 for alignment.
Half of what 4 wheel parts wanted. If you want a good deal you need to get out of the big city.

I had a local shop do my 3" front level and 1" rear block as well as a rear spring lift for 330 dollars, including alignment - I figured it was a good deal.
Again, he didn't want to touch the body lift (1 of 2 shops I checked out.)
Nice truck you got and you're getting great prices for install!
 

[dieselfan1]

Thank you sir. You got a nice truck too. Need bigger tires now. [emoji16]

Thanks!
As far as tires, I have BFG 35s bookmarked - still debating on that one.

Doesn't it bug you that someone can have 37's or larger tires on a huge lift but the rear end has pencil stick axle housings? Looks very out of place, like they skipped leg day.

 

I should make rear axle housing tube accessories to make them look larger, would make zillions. Picture something like water wings but for axles, makes them look big.
