Just decide what color GMC emblems you want for the black cap and problem solved.

Looks great Tony. I am curious why you didn't go with the boxed rear lowers. Is all the adjustablity really necessary w/ an otherwise stock truck?

just did another truck last night and the rear djm hardware kit makes the truck ride better no question about that.

Well onto going lower now and keeping the great ride. My wife is very happy with the ride. I put my parents and mother in law in the truck yesterday with my wife and son in the back with about 250 pounds of trailblazer djm control arms behind the 3rd row seats and i was surprised how well it rode.

But i want it lower so in front I will be doing my strut modification which is like $15 dollars to bring it down about 1 inch at most and rear im going to do some measuring tonight. Going to use the trailblazer springs.
