So I have been thinking. I'm tired of my truck. I kick myself everyday for not adding a few subtle things and leaving well enough alone. So what I'm thinking about doing is...
Exterior:
- Replace the 2" lift kit with the 4" spindle lift
- or keep 2" lift and add 2" body lift
- 32" tires
- keep the wheels I have now
- buy all new lights (except corners) from rock auto (heads, tails, parking lamps)
- Sylvania Sylverstar Ultras
- Keep toolchest
- Roll up tonneau cover
- remove plastidip from side trim
- Remove grille guard (I have to find a way to keep the light bar. I was thinking about cutting out part of the grille insert so the light bar could fit on the bumper.)

Interior:
- Cup holder for console
- Tahoe/Burb sun visors
- full led swap
- sub/amp

Performance:
- Ultimate TBI mods
- TB Spacer
- IP Spacer
- Spintech 6000 or 9000 muffler

Basically make it look stock with the exception of the lift, tires, tonneau and light bar

Thanks guys! Need to go part searching now. Oh, I forgot, I'd remove the plastidip on the bowtie too...

Thomas, feeling up to a chop?

I'll get you a pic.
- brand new headlights, and parking lamps
- The equivalent of 4" of lift
- my current wheels and 32" (aggressive looking) tires
- lightly smoked windows
-light bar in the lower portion of the grille

all I can think of right now.


Taylor, when you tried the lightbar on the bumper, was it just the insert that wouldn't let it fit?

Yah it hit the insert

ok cool, I think I would cut out part of it so the light could slide in the grille and mount to the bumper
