97 Sierra build

4:10s would be fine for 35s, but I'd probably go with 4.56. For 37s, I wouldn't go any higher than 4.56, lower would be better.

That’s what ive been reading if i went with 37s id probably need 4.88s if i go that big though and i have to go into the rear end i wanna go ahead and put in a locker which is a good chunk of money it will happen one day though

Got a new grill at the yard yesterday. Got it sanded and primered. Need to sand again and paint when the paint comes in. Also put in a smoked third brake light.

Got the front and rear bumper on. Front was a pain since the bumper mounts did not line up, had to hit them with a mallet to make small adjustments. Also got a black mesh grille from EAG. The logo is coming off, it will look much better that way.

I put 4.56 gears in my truck with 305-70-18 tire. Basically a 34" tire. Truck loves it i run 2300 rpm at 75 mph. I would put 4.88s in with a 37. Thats alot of tire to turn.

I hit it with 2 coats of Duplicolor perfect match in "olympic white" and just finished laying down 2 coats of clear. I must say it turned out better than I thought.

Working on getting the new insert in. Looks awesome against the white.

Test fit on the truck. Looks so good and I am glad the paint matches excellent. I can't attach the grill yet because i needed to order a new bumper filler peice, since the old one was cracked.

Put in the new fuel pump and tank. Also put LED pods under the bumper. There was already a switch on the dash since the other pods were bolted into the old bumper. This is a different set of pods. Wired them up and they did not work. That and the old wiring will be replaced too.
