Takes quite a few cans to do a good job I believe.. And Im in the process of swapping a 5.7 out of a 99 burb, and a brand new tranny so i dont even have 20 bucks to my name right now lol

1 to 2 cans per bumper. i did my grille, lower corners, park lights, and cargo light with half a can. should have used a little more on the parklights but it stayed on very well. never rubbed off or scratched.

So as a lot of you may now Ive had many ideas about what my truck is gonna evolve into next. I think i have finally found the answer after talking with my some of my family this Christmas. They haven't seen my truck since i got it and they love the direction i have taken with it. This truck will currently stay my Daily Driver, but here's the plan : Lower lift to 4 in 33s, shackle flip in rear, 4.10 gears in an 14 bolt sf, auburn locker in rear, and an LS swap. Which will turn into a nice tire burner/ DD. I still want a mud toy though, so the first step of this process is to buy a square body, and that will not only be my mud toy, but my daily driver while the 98 is under the knife.

That sounds like a great idea. I have a question, did you just cut all of the carpet out. Or did you remove the seats because i want to bed line the interior of my tahoe.

So why drop it back down? Why not regear and leave it at that height?
