Agree. Thats what Im doing to my 03 Sierra.

The blazer was cool, but it was your daily, a good daily. But having the room of a fullsize is VERY VERY nice.

Slap some HID's in it and some tint and your good to go.

Although I'm not shocked as it's a near the pewter color in the silver berch metallic. Great color. Theres a Xcab GMC fullsize bodied on 24's I believe on mautofied. I want it soooo bad lol

Re: Upgrade

lol.. everyones so funny. i love this place sometimes!

but in all honesty. i really dont plan on doing alot to it. i LOVE the way it rides right now. so whatever i do i dont want to change the ride quality.

going from a blazer with a little less than 2" ground clearance to a stock silverado. its like switching from a truck with no suspension nearly to a caddy.

i was thinking of removing side molding and badges n stuff today, but i think im going to hold off as long as i can to see how long i can stand driving a all stock truck LOL

scotty, your hilarious!

Re: Upgrade

Colormatch the mirrors
Get colormatched Esky handles
Get a 3" spindle lift, 1" or 2" block in the rear
And get some 285's
and debadge

If you go any lower than 4" in the rear, you might want to get a 2pc driveshaft, cuz it will rub.

Hit up GMFullsize.com

Re: Upgrade

Nice truck man. I bought a fullsize back in july. If you think the stock light are bright, put some HIDs in the low beams and fog lights. It makes a hell of a difference. I got mine from www.vvme.com for a good price. I wish I got 19mpg. Im barely getting 14mpgs but mine is the vortec max edition.

haha.. bagged looks sexy. but the lifted is what im going for. my luv will be kinda low, so that will do it enough for me. and i want this thing to sit up some so i can go wherever i need to go without being like " crap, am i gonna get stuck"

so 3" rough country spindle, 2" springtech spring spacer, 3" lift block, 315/70/17's on stock wheels...
