Someone please school me on the jounce stops on the front. I looked at mine today and they don't look as bad as these but are pretty bad. How will changing these improve my ride? They have about 1-1.5 gap between the jounce and the frame part that they would hit.

The jounce stop should just barely be in contact with the top of the lower control arm. They help act as a fulcrum, thus affecting your ride quality and help keeping the front end stable. The difference is noticeable in cornering and also less nose dive during braking. Is your truck lifted or leveled?

Yes it does and I will be ordering my new set when I go into work tomorrow. I am a service consultant at my local Chevy dealership.

I need a few peoples opinion. So on Saturday I'm going to color match my bumper cap and next weekend I want to hopefully do my mirrors but do you guys think I should paint the ones I have now or get tow mirrors and paint those ones, what would look better to you guys? I'm split and kinda leaning towards painting the ones I have now, but I think that's because I would have to pay for new ones.

I want a train horn but I think I'll get in too much trouble with that lol. So you like black tow mirrors over color matched tow mirrors

I like what Cattivo posted here. Train horns...thought about those too...lol trouble YES, fun YES...

For sure color match everything you can. I have an LS and nothing was color matched from the factory. I ended up getting everything color matched including my mirrors (the entire assembly, not just the cap). Very happy with the outcome. Tow mirrors are not my thing, but they look good on the lifted trucks. That one is a personal preference toss up. Just get the chrome ones to set off 05Single....lol

Hope that helps a bit.

I still need to install my horns after I resolve a few electrical issues, I only intend on using the horns for people who sit at green lights texting or the inconsiderate people crossing the street texting

IMHO... keeping the tow mirrors black will result in an more OEM look rather than wasting money on color matching them, at the end of the day it's what you prefer brother
