That's an awesome truck :shake:

The Chevy trucks looks so much better all colormatched up front. I can't stand the chrome bumper they put in. How much did that colormatched grille cost you? I wasn't even aware that Chevy was selling those yet. I heard you can get the paintable ones, but not already colormatched. About time they got smart.

badass, I just recieved my spacers today. Did you use a torque wrench? In my instructions (not fabtech spacers), it says to.

Were they pretty easy to install?

How many inches are those spacers?

The exhaust will be changed as soon as I decide on what I want. Trying to decide on a clean look doing a Magnaflow muffler and dump before the axle or a more bling route with Cora or B&B.

The paint matched grill costs ~$350 at the dealer.

The kit took about 2 hrs to install.... didnt use a torqe wrench because my kit didnt come with instructions and the link on fabtechs site was dead. Between the kit and wheels/tires the front was raised just a hair over 3" total. The center of the wheel wells are 39.5" front and rears.... the truck looks nose down some but they measure the same.

Did you have to trim anything to fit 33x12.5 tires and what backspacing and width are your wheels. I saw another truck with a leveling kit and 35x13.0 with 22" rims and couldn't believe 35s fit with just a level kit.

Do those tires rub?
