Hey I just looked at your truck and noticed we practically have done all the same mods. I lifted mine and have same size tires with stock wheels. I have Flowmaster exhaust, custom grille made of metal lathe, tinted windows, same CD player, and clears. Mines white though. I thought it was funny when I read through your list of mods, I guess we have good taste.

I ordered a 3" kit,will this look like crap from the front and rear of the truck(also got the gap guards)Also everyone seems to dead set apposed to putting 33/12.5/15 on my truck with stock rims,what's the problem here?besides the rubbin'thing which I can fix,and a little crown in the middle of the tire due to the 8" rim.O.K.Now for the motion part of the show.Remember the 360 I have to replace my 3.9,well a good thing got BIGGER,can you say Speed tweeks STROKER KIT.Yup,Even used the ol'ladies card to do it,how cool is that?I'll keep all you kota dudes posted on my project,So extreme,when your out, watch for yellow paint and blue tire smoke and you may even catch the tears of another Z-71 owner sittin'at a green light sayin (Yup!yellow does mean go faster)Later man.

I have the 3" body lift and as you saw, doesn't look like crap with the gap guards installed and bumpers relocated to match body. Stroked 360... now I am gonna have to get a turbo to keep up! I would suggest to go with 33X11.50 on stock rims to avoid excessive bumper and frame rubbing, I have the 16" equivalent to 33x11.50's on my stock wheels with no rubbing unless wheel is cranked and suspension bottomed out. 12.50's will work though with the steer stop you talked about and some trimming of front bumper. Let me know if you have any questions on body lift install, I'll have to take a look when your done:)
