I think its time for me to show the phases this truck has been through. I bought it in December of 09 and have been slowy modding it, for better for worse this is what it has looked like along the way.

The day I purchased it

First mods: debadged, demold'd, block delete and maybe a drop shackle I forgot.

A couple more mods, Painted the handles and mirror caps. Also washed it, I think this was on christmas eve 09

A little more color matching, I thought just the grill would be ok. It wasnt, looke horrible IMO

So I painted the bumper, much better.

Then I washed it, and went to what apparently has become my trademark picture spot lol

Then finally painted the rear bumper to match, I remember the thread name on gmfs "I have a case of the red ass"

Then I decided hey why not lift it a little bit

Picked up a set of bfg at's on CL for a deal

BIG GAP but my wheels finally came in and my whole look was about to change.

Sold the intros about 3 months after putting them on, it was way too much upkeep for a daily driver. time to go back up again

the day I sold the intros to Earl

2013-02-16_08-32-50_210_zps4b961134.jpg


Decided I wanted some 35s to level out the 4.56 gears

They rubbed a bit for sure

Time for a 1.5 zone body lift, no mor rubbing but still too much cali for my current taste

Oh guess where I went again Today, my favorite spot again. I got my truck leveled all around at 44" now. That is all for now, more mods to come soon, and thanks for a great forum.

Its pretty hard to deny that it looked its best with the intros, just couldnt take the upkeep. I will have intros again one day when ITS not on a daily.
 
not sure about wheels. Im kinda regretting not going with some ltz 20s. the lift is 3" rc spindles, lift keys cranked, 4" block in the rear, 1.5 BL. its the oddball 2wd with torsion bars.
 
yea bought em new from tread depot. i was trying to restrain myself from spending too much on my truck so I bought tires to prevent buying more wheels lol
 
Looks awesome. Remove that little lip in the front. Some reason from a front view it makes the truck look taller.

Looks awesome Cody, lowered with the Intros is my favorite. You want some LTZs? Find some polished GMCs and I'll give mine to ya. :crazy:

Haha I know right.

Also, my opinion, it looks best in the current state its in now. Although Im a lowered person through and through, your truck just looks :boobs: at the stance now, although if it was mine I would have left the bit of cali but still. Perfectly colormatched, not to much or not enough, Stance is sick. Other than what may be in on the inside, the outside is perfect to me minus a set of wheels if you choose to but those dont look bad at all.

Edit: take that little lip off the lower valance and give your frame a bit of attention or some black paint.
 
This. Want to do the same setup on my nnbs. Where in la are u from?

Same town as me lol







Truck looks great man! Is forum is a lot better than g m f s. to many f g t s on there
