any plans of dropping/lifting it??

Gonna need new tires and suspension work anyways, so I am thinking about doing a 3/4 drop. I want to see what size tires I would need to run if I do drop it. I don't want to go to a really low profile tire. I like my tires with a little sidewall to 'em. I played around with the idea of a lift too, but I think the 2 doors look better lowered.

The front bumper is clearanced for the tires I'm running now at stock height. If I drop, I'm sure I'll have to go smaller, or clearance the bumper more.

from the pictures, it looks like its already been leveled... i would put a tape to it before ordering a kit.. you might need like a 3/3 drop instead of 3/4

I'll snap a few tomorrow. I work in a custom metal fab shop, so I made a template, took a piece of perforated Stainless Steel and cut it to fit. I was contemplating doing a brushed finish on it, but ended up just powdercoating it black. I made up some clips that hook onto the back of the factory grille and I ran 6 screws through the perf into the clips. I had to cut out the raised section where the GMC emblem is supposed to go. The maltese cross is a laser cut piece of 3/16" mirror polished stainless. I shot 4 studs into the back of it and bolted it on through the grille. Edit- Found a pic on my comp

Can't wait to see some pics, and if I like it, would you be willing to cut one up and ship it to me? I'd pay to have it done.
