Hey everyone,
I figured I would get a thread going here with what's already been done and keep it going for the few things I have left to finish.
Truck
2011 Chevy Silverado Crew Cab
LTZ/Z71 Package
Leather
Navigation
5.3L
3.08 stock gears
Suspension
Full Throttle Suspension 7" lift with blank crossmember
Bilstien 7-9 adjustables up front (currently set at 7)
Bilstien 5100 in rear
Wheels/Tires
20x10 American Force Rebel SS polished
35x12.5 Toyo Open Country MTs
Misc
AMP Research Power Steps
Bakflip F1 bed cover
De-badged (except for side emblems)
De-molded
Billet bowtie
Performance
Black Bear Performance Tune
GMPP 4.10 gears (rear)
Yukon 4.10 gears (front)
* Gears just arrived and are expected to be installed over the next few weeks
So now that you know a little about the truck and what's been done I'll move onto the future mods. Currently there isn't much. I'm going to do a new exhaust set up and see what happens from there. I'm sure there will be more as time goes on but for now I'm extremely happy with they way it sits. I also want to get rid of the chrome on the rear bumper and have it white to match the rest of the truck a little better.
Here are some shots of the truck after I first purchased it on New Years Eve. It was a great way to begin the new year with a new truck. I bought it used with 25k miles on it. The prior owner had it for just over a year and a half before trading it in for a 2500 that suited his needs better. The truck was immaculate and I got a great deal on it. I would have preferred black leather, but for the price and conditions I couldn't let that hold me up.
2 days after I picked her up my buddy and I loaded up the sleds and took the truck on a trip up to Old Forge, NY.
Once I had everything I dropped off the truck with Dan at Innovative Truck Design in Stratford, CT. He was recommended from a member over on the Adam's Forum and I couldn't be happier with the work he did. Very high quality and made sure everything was done right. Below is a link to their Facebook page if anyone is interested or just want to "LIKE" the page.

I got the truck back last Friday and have been enjoying every minute of it. The suspension rides amazing and I was really surprised with how well the rear end rode as well. I figured it would have some of that hop or chatter with no real weight in the back and only being on the blocks, but with the Bilstiens it rides so much better than stock all around.
The only issue is the lights on the AMP steps are not working. We've ran thru everything and the only thing it can be is the control module (brain) that's connected up near the battery. We've already been in touch with AMP and they will be sending out a new one soon.
Now on to some photos.....
Thanks for checking out my thread. I'll continue to update this as I add on the few remaining items and keep some phots coming as well.
