Neat! I can't wait to see it.

You didn't mention the size of your tires.

My bad! They're 35's...I believe a 315/70? so just a touch under 35"

Gonna look good. Post up a pic when you get it done

nice!

Looks real good. Just curious though how the ride quality is now? Do you notice a big difference in ride quality, steering capabilities, noise, fuel economy?

Just debating whether or not I want to lift mine.

The ride quality isn't bad at all. It's a touch more stiff. Around town not much of a difference other than noise. On the highway it's not as smooth as before for sure. Of course hwy steering is much different than before. As far as ride quality overall, the lift is worth it. Mpg I dropped from 17 hwy to 13. I'm normally cruising at 85ish and I only have the 4.7. My buddy has a 6" lifted 2010 Silverado and he's getting 11 hwy with less aggressive tires

What's your rear end geared at? 3.55?

Yup, it's the 3.55. 3.55/4.7 is about the worst combo for mpg/power overall. Hoping an intake, exhaust, and tune will help. But I stole my truck at $19 vs the exact same truck with a 5.7, 4wd, and leather at $39

 

[bloombloom88]

Damn that's a pretty good deal. Looks like we have the same truck minus the year difference, can't wait to finish my lift..

 

[Cruizer]

Truck looks awesome. Great transformation.
