What a beautiful truck, I really like the bumper with the molding on it, makes everything flows better. I don’t think I’d change anything about your truck, it’s really prefect.

Some more updates...

First off I installed a new GM grille, with new sport bowtie just because I am **** and wanted one without some of the pitting my old grille had on it.
I decided not to go with a billet grille insert this time but did paint the grey grille insert satin black.
Then I switched to a new 1 piece molding bumper with a new GM 1 piece molding.

Looks great. Where did you find a new grill and that bowtie?

Good parts ain't cheap!
Going to run RideTech's wishbone rear air ride set up with shock wave bags (with adjustable rebound rate) & in front doing cool ride bag set up with tubular upper & lower control arms along with their "Muscle Bar" sway bar & HQ series adjustable shocks. So pretty much everything suspension wise will be new and RideTech.

Can't wait to see it done. I'll be curious on your review of their wishbone setup .I think you're the first on here to get it. Definitely seems like ridetech is surpassing all of the other lowering kit companies.

Ridetech has killer parts. They arent cheap but quality is worth it.
This truck wont be the lowest truck out there but it should sit good while retaining factory bed floor & inner fenders in front.
After the suspension is done it'll be time to save up for a wheel upgrade.
This thing is gonna need some nice billets... Schotts, Boyds, or something...

Well time to get the party started! Got the bed off yesterday & gave it a quick powerwashing.

I'm all about the low life when it comes to trucks, but I still want to be able to use it. I don't want my truck bed raised so high that can't even set a bag of trash back there. Lol
Billets would look killer. I'm glad they're coming back. Let me know how you like the wishbone. If I'm going to notch my frame, it will only be for a major upgrade like that.
