New Truck

haha ya i seriously think that would cause marital problems. After she watched what i spent on the LLY, (which is only a fraction of what some guys spend) im treading pretty lightly. Just the exhaust took some extremely careful verbiage:rofl: Im trying to figure out a way now to sneak in a lift pump. If they weren't so freakin noisy id have one already! Doesn't help talking to you clowns either:hug:
I know how let her drive the truck and have someone tweek the programming so it is rough and showing all the signs and symptoms of a bad injector or CP3 and then when she calls to say somethings wrong with the truck tell her you'll look at it and than boom lift pump
Decided the regular "pipe" for my exhaust just isn't me...so I decided to add a 6" tip, also ordered up some putco led fog lights and a sling style bed organizer (wife wants it) hopefully have it all here by friday. Next weekend is hopefully install day!
Couple additions, per my wife's request...bed sling. Also added this 6" diamond eye tip...primed and painted the axle portion of the tip to match (not a fan of just a black tip on a aluminium pipe.
I'm finally diving into the lift this afternoon..also gonna throw on these new 2400 lm led fogs. Hopefully have her wrapped up and ready for the new wheels/tires by tomorrow afternoon..

Sharp looking truck. I'd love to have a new Denali but can't justify a second mortgage just for a truck...
Well got about 4 hrs yesterday and most of today into it, is say 80% done. Waiting for cognito to give me a solution to how the idler arm brace is supposed to line up. As of now it doesnt. Also figured out the torsion wrench I had for my 05 doesnt work very well on these nbs trucks.
Finally picked up the wheels today as well, gotta admit I like them better in person

Jealous, that is the color I wanted, went to the dealer and it was a Gasser so ended up with a black Chevy.
On a suck scale of 1 to 10, it was around 60..I'm used to doing them this way I guess..it was the 4th one on my garage floor...couldn't find a lift and couldn't justify the money to pay someone.
When i put my lift on I'm glad I had a lift buddy with a lift or else I would of never done it! Lol can't wait to see the finish product! It's going to look awesome man! Keep it up!
Its all together except for the sway bar, just a touch off the bump stops, cv's are at a very slight negative angle, tie rods are flat, zero rake that I can see...its sitting about as low as it'll go on the torsion keys without dropping the bolts.
Now she needs a bath

Thanks fellas, I'm doing some tweeking to get it how I want it. Pulled the lower valiance, and did the fender mod this morning as well as zip tie the driver fender well back in the front...this is the only way to keep it low yet still fit the -19 35" wheel/tire combo...only thing I need to figure out is how to free up a little room behind the passenger front wheel well to zip tie it forward. Hopefully have time this afternoon.
