surprise, az
personally id do the k2xx mirrors, ive had both styles and like the k2xx more, would also not run py0s, theyve become over done, 285x75r16 is a little small imo, would go for a 305x70r16 if you stay with a 16" wheel, for the h2 wheels id go for 305x65r17

Go with h2s if you can find a set, they just look so much beefier. I second the 305 motion, i wish ida went 305 instead of 285. K2xx mirrors are the cats meow if you like to light up at night.

I'm not really a fan of the K2XX mirrors really, there's some guy running around here with a 2-door Tahoe and he's got the whole thing chromed up, I mean everything. I'm not really a fan of the chrome caps, if someone makes those caps in black I might think about a set;

I'm searching for H2s and PYOs, there's a couple of 4x4 outfitters around me and I'm temped to go see if they've got any OEM take offs, 305 anything is pretty pricey, that's why I wanted to go with 285 in an aggressive A/T, little easier on the wallet,

You can always paint the caps black lol. Im not a fan of the chrome on my mirrors but the visibility is amazing and the lights look like theyre actually supposed to be there as apposed to just sticking off the side. Yea h2s and 305s is a pretty pricey combo. 8 lug rims and tires are usually pretty easy to come by on craigslist, theres always nice aftermarket ones around here.

Is the field of view wider with the newer style? That's part of why I want to switch over with the dually and just leave the 800 mirrors on the half ton.

The new mirrors are just big up and down but theyre probably 1.5-2"

The arms are shorter so they slide out less tho

Ordering injectors from FiveO tonight, picking up a Delphi FPR from the local parts store, anything else I should do while I've got it apart? Lower intake gasket or anything like that?

And I'm gonna try to ditch the running boards, polish em up and sell them, DeeZee advertises them for like $290, so does $200 OBO sound fair?

My rule is 50% of new or less for most stuff.

If you are motivated enough to do the lower gaskets it would be a good idea. Mine were weeping and in otherwise bad shape.
