Kyle's 2007 Sierra 2500 LBZ build

Truck is clean as hell man!!

Dont worry about the spacers. I;ve had mine on for a while and have been pretty hard with them. No issues. Even had a trailer on the truck.
 
Don't worry about the spacers, just get a quality set. Had mine one for over a year and the only reason I broke 2 of the studs is because the instructions said to torque the wheels to the spacers at 140ft lbs. Shoulda just done 100 and they would still be fine

I noticed this a while ago but it's finally bugging me enough to ask. Would anyone know why the middle portion of the bumper has a dull shine to it? As you can see the outside part shines nicely. I've wondered if it's an aftermarket one? I have tried chrome polish but it didn't seem to do anything. Any ideas?

bought new center caps for the ions. You can see the difference from their ion ones to the new in the first pic. They are still tall but look cleaner. Never realized how much rake it had also, I will be cranking it to level

Can't wait to see it after paint work! In regards to the chrome, that most likely is a replacement bumper. It may still be "OEM" though. When I got hit in my Sierra, the local Chevy dealer gave me all OEM parts to replace the front bumper assembly.

The chrome on the new one was hazy just like that compared to the one it was born with. I asked about it and the body shop guy brought me 3 more to look at and all were the same. Idk if GM farmed out the work or restamped some aftermarkets with their PN but I was definitely disappointed

Thansk Zach. Not happy at all with the finish on this one, but don't feel like spending $350 for an OEM on craigslist. Hopefully I can ask around and find one cheaper.

Can't wait to see it Kyle! Probably a stupid question, why'd you remove the tail lights?

Had to adjust the latch for the tailgate, and remove a ground that was behind the tail light from the topper.


I dropped the plastic pieces off at the body shop today, should get them back in a week or two.
