So my 2nd strut showed up last night after i left for work. Opened it this morning to see that the bumpstop and spring perch weren't in the box. Called amazon and they are shipping another strut with everything and a shipping label to send the other one back. I found out i can use my oem spring perch and bumpstops with the belltech struts so im gonna break them down and swap them over tonight. I threw my mcg spindles on today and mounted the oem struts on the bottom side of the lca since i was only going across town. Ill swap the belltechs in either late tonight or in the morning.

Thanks bro. Just finished swapping my coils over to the belltech struts.
Gonna get up early and throw them on the truck. Hopefully it doesn't go more than an inch lower than it is now. Lol. They are supposed to be good for 2".

Thanks dude!
Thanks man. Ive thought about it. I like this one so ill only upgrade to the ltz grille if i find a really good deal lol.
Thanks bud.
Got the struts on this morning. Front is not as low as i was hoping so ill be looking into either trimmed coils or drop coils in the future. Met up with dennis today. Truck is so sick on the 24s. Definitely put mine to shame and made me realize how bad i want tbss 24s.
Also cleaned it up and took some better pictures.

Got my new 275/45 cooper discoverer h/t plus' put on this morning. Also had them put the tpms i had from the camaro wheels on my s10. They programmed them and they are reading pressures but the dash light is still on.
Before the new tires
Also did new plugs and msd wires on it yesterday and swapped my volant cai box over from my nbs. It fits surprisingly well although i still need to get a tube for it. Ill end up buying a full matching cai eventually but it needed an air filter so i figured why not swap it. Lol

Snagged a lower valance today for $10. Front still sits up too high but it looks better imo.
Also picked up an air tank for my helpers. Gonna put together a legit on board setup on this truck. Still need to order new bags and a compressor but the tank was a good deal so i didnt want to pass on it.

Finally got the truck aligned today. Its 1.5* outta spec which i expected. Gonna order alignment bushings/cams soon.
Got this in today.
Just a temporary solution for my cracked dash. Cant really justify buying a new dash as things are slow at work and we are losing some production days right now. Got this dash cover on ebay for $30. Fits good and isnt bulky.

So i listed the 17s, that came on this truck, for sale a couple of nights ago with plans to put that money towards some different wheels. Sold them this morning and picked up some oem escalade 22s.
Got the majority of the plasti dip pulled off tonight. Still need to pull the face plates off to get under them and do the center caps. Gonna go check on some tires tomorrow.
And an idea of what theyll look like.
