yep

Aaaaanyway. I see a flat gray body with black wheels, push bar and steps. I'd also think some auxiliary lighting would be appropriate. Fender flares and a hefty roof rack on off road tires and whatever size lift works for you.

I think some red and Frankenstein green would be nice accent colors too.

Didn't realize I'd hurt everyones feelings...sheesh...no more questions or threads from me. I will just lurk and search for answers on my own.

Thanks! I need to get some sort of photoshop or auto CAD program to either design my own parts or just so I can envision them. Does Bushwacker/any reputable company make flares for these trucks? Also I think I will keep the tire size relatively small as I know in my last Duramax the wheel bearings are unitized and expensive!! I just came from a long time in the diesel scene so these SUVs and 1/2 tons are new to me. I have looked but yet to find a quick hard rule of thumb for lift/tire sizes. I know on my old Duramax what they were but these have quite different body lines/wheel wells. Sorry for the long post.

The only one with hurt feelings is you. I catch shit all the time and dish it, if you can't do that then a forum may not be for you.

Do you have an idea of how high you want to lift? The options are essentially limitless to be honest with you. There's a guy in here that used to have an 07+ lifted hoe that was pretty high. His name is josh with a bunch of numbers after it. Or you can simply put a front leveling kit on which is very common and put 33's or 35's under it.

This is unacceptable and should not be tolerated. This is America. We just do. We don't ask, not do we think. We just do. If you want an answer go ask India. If you want it made go tell China. And, if you want it designed and to work, go to Japan. This is America. We just do. Everything productive must be outsourced, or you will be required to pay more. That's why you received a hard time from those guys. So go ahead, bend on over.

Yep. you got it.

Also, there's a ton of lifted suspension info in the lifted/4x4 section that might help you too

Haha. I like your style! I guess no one else got the sarcasm I tried to convey. I think I know a thing or two about 'Merica as well and agree with your statement.

To be fair sarcasm is often times lost in translation when read on a computer screen

Burb would know about sarcasm fails. He owns a few. But to be fair, so do I.

 

[07Burb]

Anyhoot, if it was me doing this build I'd lift it as least 3" with 35's on black wheels and a big roof rack on top with a spare up there. Then, of course, a set of four or so lights up there along with a bull bar/push bar on front (also black) with two more lights. Then, of course, tinted windows, exhaust,..... You'll also want to regear but I'm sure you're probably familiar with that.

100% truth

 

[akdiesel]

Thanks Burb. I am familiar with regear but diesels the regearing is much for optional to the user where as I understand from the little reading I've done with a gas motor it is much more recommended/basically necessary. I need to keep my eyes out for a regearing chart so I can figure it out. Although depending on the wife we will see if any of this happens haha. She is okay with exhaust/intake and comfort items (nav/dvd and stereo system) I read that the airaid jr is the best bang for the buck. What do you think for exhaust? Headers, cat-back, all of the above?

I saw this episode!

Burb it's a secret service one I believe that or it's a personal armed one the episode was crazyy

I built my truck with zombies in mind. Brush guard is a definite necessity so you can ram the zombies and not ruin your steering or cooling system. Then a lift and off road tires so you can drive around all the wrecked or abandoned cars on the highway that are going to be blocking the road. Then, I have a CB radio and antenna so I can stay in touch with other zombie survivors. I also have a "black box" in my truck where I keep random things like tools, extra gas, oil, coolant, water bottles, fire extinguisher, etc... Hope this helps the thread get back on topic...Uncle Yates...Uncle 07Burb...
