    Thanks for the compliments. About 1-2 ", just noticable.


    Edit: Purchased new tires.. 275/40 ZR20 in the front and 275/45 ZR20 in the rear. The stagger may help slightly with the stance. I can visually see the difference in the sidewall with them mounted on the truck.

    Thanks for the compliments. Still chugging along. Too damn hot to work out in the garage all day. I actually moved the truck from my dad's shop in Houston to my house. Tired of making those 3 hr runs and $100 gas bill each trip.

    New windshield, new rear glass and all window trim installed.

    Changed a few things. Decided to just keep my fuel system simple and go with the Vette regulator. So, I ripped out what I was using and sold the parts and now I'm finishing up that task. Went a different route with tires, so I'll be putting the Nitto Invo's up for sale.

    Hood and fenders are now painted and buffed but not yet installed. Picked up my HD grill and ordered a HD bumper cap. Will be working on sanding them smooth and prepping for paint.

    Bed will be worked over the next few weeks to fill and smooth the bed caps. Tailgate handle has already been moved inside the bed and roll pan needs to be molded in. Fitting the ss intimidator spoiler will be worked as well. Trying to figure out a way to make the bolts part of the spoiler (for a smoother look) and then nut them on from the inside of the tailgate (ie: drill a hole on the inside of the tailgate to reach the bolts and then put a plastic trim fastener in holes).

    Plan on finishing up the rear brakes this weekend. New emergency brake shoes, new EBC brake pads, new rotors, new brake lines, rebuilt calipers. I wish I would have bought the larger suburban set up. But hey, you live and learn. That'll be addressed in phase two. lol.

    I pretty much now have everything (except a front paintable bumper). Just need to button it up as I have time.

    The light definitely messes with it. First time I saw it indoors I was like wtf.. that's maroon, not red! Took it out in the sun, totally different. phew...
