    Dropping Gpa's 4x4 NBS. Do I got the right idea?

    As no project is ever complete, I recently purchased drop spindles. I had to remove the aftermarket UCAs and replace with the OEM to get the camber in check.

    Dropping Gpa's 4x4 NBS. Do I got the right idea?

    Thanks for all of the feedback guys. So yes the paint is an OEM GM color. My grandfather used this truck for work up until he got sick and was forced into retirement, shortly before his death. I have a special attachment to my grandfather and his truck, due to working with him for several...

    Dropping Gpa's 4x4 NBS. Do I got the right idea?

    Hey guys, just wanted to update you on my truck. After replacing at least one tire a year due to pot holes and bubbling, not to mention scraping my skid plate on most speed bumps, I decided to raise the truck just a bit. I didn't want to sacrifice fender gap so I elected to go with a taller...

    Black chrome or machined?

    Also consider satin black rims with a clear coat. IMO glossy black rims are gaudy.

    It's definitely a plus that I can swap some OEM parts in and get the desired effect (aside from spindles). Thanks for advice guys, I look forward to modifying the truck!

    Dropping Gpa's 4x4 NBS. Do I got the right idea?

    I live in the north east and see snow every winter, so 4x4 will still be used periodically. I am receiving this truck for next to nothing, the body and interior are clean. As my grandfather was diagnosed with a terminal disease that eventually ended his life, he was all about getting his work...

    Dropping Gpa's 4x4 NBS. Do I got the right idea?

    What's up everyone. I recently inherited my late grandfather's 2001 Silverado Std. cab. It comes with a 4x4 and 5.3L. I was planning on a 4/6 drop and recently started putting together a budget for the suspension drop. I have pieced a kit together for about $1k. I would have opted for a...
