KJT13 Posted March 31, 2008 Report Share Posted March 31, 2008 I like the last one. Add some of the new 08 "SILVERADO" badging and I think it will really stand out. I like that idea if you decide you want alittle something on the it once the badges are removed. Also, good job with the photoshop!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kersey Posted March 31, 2008 Report Share Posted March 31, 2008 IMO...its a Z71, why lower it? that is a truck to be lifted and put on a set of 33 inch BFG AT's. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thunder550 Posted March 31, 2008 Author Report Share Posted March 31, 2008 (edited) IMO...its a Z71, why lower it? that is a truck to be lifted and put on a set of 33 inch BFG AT's. It's a 7 year old truck with 157,000 miles that has seen plenty of offroad days and has had a small lift (1.5-2 inches) and 33' tires for most of it's life. My preferences have changed, and I'm ready to do something different with it. I have too much money into the engine and drivetrain to start over with a new truck. It is what it is, and I'm past the point where I care that my Z71 won't be going offroad anymore. Z71 isn't anything other than shocks (which have been replaced with aftermarket ones anyway), lift blocks, stickers, and a skid plate package anyway. What difference does any of that make on which way I go with it? Edited March 31, 2008 by thunder550 (see edit history) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DGIEPSS Posted April 1, 2008 Report Share Posted April 1, 2008 i love the debadged look put in body colored door handles and your rocking Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thunder550 Posted April 1, 2008 Author Report Share Posted April 1, 2008 like i said dude just my opinion, opinions are like butt holes, everyone has one. Yeah I'm sorry I got a little heated....long day and lots of time defending my choices to other people who want to argue with me about what I'm doing. Did not mean to snap back at you. Got a little work done tonight....lift blocks and add-a-leaf removed, torsion bars decranked as far as they'll go. I have aftermarket keys in there, so once I get the unloading tool for the keys I can put the stockers back in, and I think it'll drop a little more in the front.

Tzer Posted April 1, 2008 Report Share Posted April 1, 2008 i love the debadged look put in body colored door handles and your rocking What he said ^ but if your going to leave the chrome bumpers on I think I'd go with chrome wheels and handles. Photoshop that and see if it trips your trigger Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Holty Posted April 1, 2008 Report Share Posted April 1, 2008 Dude, put that bitch in the weeds on some 20's and you'll be straight. I always wondered why you kept the big 4X4 look to your truck. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
air force vm Posted April 1, 2008 Report Share Posted April 1, 2008 Thats some good photo shop work there. Truck looks good there. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thunder550 Posted April 1, 2008 Author Report Share Posted April 1, 2008 Thanks She's coming along nicely I think. Here are some daytime shots of the current height now. I think a 1" smaller diameter tire, 18's, a tiny bit lower and a little more rake and it'll be perfect Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
detjoe Posted April 1, 2008 Report Share Posted April 1, 2008 I see the 17" caddy wheels/tires on craigslist pretty cheap and you stay GM. debadged all the way! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
