Dean's '11 Crew Cab Budget Build

Looks so much better. I may be one of the few now-a-days that likes a completely debadged/demolded NNBS. Looks so clean.

I actually saw one the same color as mine with cleared lights and thought it looked good. Been thinking about doing something like this instead, but keep reading mixed reviews.

Thanks. At first I wasn't too sure about demolding, but its really growing on me now. Nothing like looking at the side and being able to see a clear reflection on it.

What are those, like $250 or so? For the money, I'd spend a bit extra and have Phil clear your stock headlights and do a projector retro. You'd be happier with the output compared to those cheesy Amazon projectors. And they'd look way better.
 
Who is Phil? And would I need to send my stock lights? The truck is my dd, so can't go without headlights.

He's a guy that runs a website/business cleaning lights. He's been an active member of the forums for quite a while. Check out D1nman's retro'd Denali lights for reference.

Here's his site: NNBS Chevy Silverado
 
sometimes what phil does IIRC is you can pay for his complete lights and once you get them send yours in for a core.
 
Here's a quick shop I did on my phone. The pic is pre-demold/debadge.

Thinking about joining the dark side and going low. What would I need for a 2/4 or a 4/6 drop and still have good ride? I'm 4wd btw.

once you go 4/6 you will loose most of the "stock" ride. plus i believe on the NNBS you need to notch at 6in in the back,

for a 2/4 and a good ride, you can just go with spindles, removing the rear block, and a shackle.
 
Could I do drop shocks instead of spindles? And would the shackle plus pulling the block give me a full 4 in the back?

it would be close, i think the nnbs only have a 1.5 or 1.75 block so it would be a 3.5 or 3.75 drop.

and you can do struts, but the truck will ride differently

spindles retain factory ride.
 
I'll probably need new struts soon, that's why I was thinking that route. What would be some good ones to look at?
