What's up guys, I've been on this site for a little while browsing trying to get an idea of where I want to take this truck. Now I think I finally have an idea that I am dead set on. Right now the truck is leveled with a RC 2'' with 2'' drop shackles in the rear. Sits dead level. 24'' KMC Slides and Nexen Roadian HP's in a 305/35/24.

Recently I have gotten tired of the way it rides and the overall look of the tires and rims in general. I have also been looking into lifts and a rim with a lip. Decided lifting is the way I want to go and dgaf if its 2wd. Its what I want, I love the look. Anyways.

2011
GMC Sierra
SLE
2wd
5.3


Mods Already Done:
Debadged/Demolded
Color matched handles
5% tint all around with 8'' strip
RC level
Drop Shackles
Billet Grille


Mods To Be Done:
FTS 7'' with bilsteins
3'' Zone body
37x13.50x22 Toyo MT or 35's. Not sure
22x14 Gear 726, Ion 183 or XD Armours (Still undecided)
Cleared headlights
Lower billet
Color matched tows
Color matched bumpers and grille surround
Smoke factory tails
AMP Reasearch steps



Should be ordering some most of the things on the list within a month if I can get someone to buy my KMC Slides off of me. Asking 1,200 with 5-8 thousand miles left on tires. Price is negotiable.

Here are some pictures of the progress made since I got the truck in 2011.

Yes I am. I think I'll be going with the 4.56 gears. I do hardly no highway driving. Just city.

Well, after a month or so of family issues getting in the way, I got 22x14 diesels ordered. Kmc said it was the last set. Two came in today, the other two will come in Monday. Lift and everything else will be ordered in a week or so.

Gotta question for you guys and also questioning it myself, I've been looking around on instagram and here on this site and I'm starting to second guess the chrome diesels. I've always been a fan of black. So what do you guys think would look better, the 22x14 diesels or 22x14 fuel nutz?

Thats what everyone I know is telling me. Does anyone have any pics of a nnbs black gmc or chevy with my setup? All the pics I find on google are either 20x10s or the trucks are on 40s or something. I just need to see it closer to my setup. Or maybe I just suck at googling things. :confused:

Well. A little update. I've been away for work and some things got in the way so I'm back now and about to order everything. I've been on the phone with full throttle getting the 7 inch kit with adjustable struts all powdered candy teal. And also ordering ion 183 22x14s. And either toyo 35s or amps. Has anyone heard anything on the amp mt? The ions are also currently on backorder

Lift was ordered today. 7 inch FTS with FTS adjustable struts and rear shocks and upper control arms all powdered candy teal. They say they it should be here next Friday. They have to order the color since candy teal isn't a common color they do. Getting excited!:cool:

The amp mt. 325/50/22. And the mayhem missile wheels in 22x14 chrome. Full throttle suspension says the amp tires have been selling for over a year now and they haven't had any complaints about ride or wear issues. So I'm hoping for the best.
