Also finally got time to install my Nathan K3H in place of Shockers. They are definitely louder and take up more room. Still need to add additional compressor and air tank for longer blast times.

Tilt them down a little so water runs out and does not collect on the diaphragm.

I might do that later when I space the brackets down in the front. Not quite the angle I was hoping for in the beginning. There tucked up behind the bumper so far it doesn't even get wet. Mainly moisture from compressor but I drain them a couple times a week. If I could flip them for seepage holes to work that would be nice.

I usually use rubber as a spacer. The vibration from the horns likes to kill things like airbag sensors and lights so buffering the vibration to the chassis is a good thing. I install lots of these things for people.

I got an 1/8" thick rubber between bracket and horns to dampen some vibrations. The mount has a rubber sheet between it too.

The things I would do to have your truck lol. Question tho, what are you going to do with your old Moto Metal's? Curious because if you still have them and are wanting to sell them, I'd be interested.

Thanks dude! I like the new wheels. GMFS says take flares and steps off. It sure about all that though. Think a friend of mine is picking the wheels up this week. I will let you know if he doesn't.

I say if you can still get in it without the steps, then take them off. Keep the flares though, gives it a much more distinct look, and I personally like it because it's different from just the pure stance look everyone is going for these days.

I could get in it no problem but wife when go out on date nights and other friends would struggle. I would like amps but cost so much for them. Thanks they do make it look different and most people like them in person over pics. I agree they do look weird sometimes in pics.

its all personal preference...and since you are paying for them then its only yours that matter! My wife loves the mud gaurds...I am not a huge fan. She wants me to put black ones on her Z71, I will get around to it but I like color match like you/she have if any.

Like the wheels. I agree about the step. I had mine off for a day and no way the kids or wife could get in without them. its a large step without them but doable. I love my power steps - wife says they are girlie hahahahaha.

Finally got time to mount the second compressor and 5 gallon tank. Now I have twin 400c compressors and 9 gallons total air for the K3HA. This should give me 25-30 seconds at full blast

Need some escalade mirrors man. Beautiful truck tho.

Thanks! I thought about them but don't like how they fit up on these doors. Also really have the chrome lower stick on plastic. I've thought about color matching the entire mirror. Paint is hella expensive for this color. Just color would be $350 so maybe $800 to paint them.
