Good thing your investment into the cost of said coilovers was minimal. So, does that mean no reco for SAWs from you?

I can fully recommend the SAWs, as long as you aren't looking to crank them up to the sky. I'm set between 1.5"-1.75" of ride increase and they're quite enjoyable. Problem is that due to a shorter assembly the down travel is minimal. Basically at this height I only have 1.5" of down travel before the internal bumpstop hits. It's good and bad...bad is obvious...the good is that there will never be any UCA to coil contact.

What I can no longer recommend and support is the company from which I obtained this set. Meaning their employees and their products.

I've said it before. I'm not in love with the new body...but with even a subtle lift, they look fantastic!
Good job so far.

@Masitile, I traded in a 2014 Limited. This is a far better truck. IMHO!

I traded my 09 Silverado w/ 125k miles for this 13 w/ 30k miles. I have only had it for a week now but I feel like I am riding in a Cadillac.the Platinum club-photo966.jpgthe Platinum club-photo124.jpgthe Platinum club-photo423.jpg

Little Sunday Afternoon project.

I wanted to see if I liked the look of an "all black" tailgate. I used some form of Plasti-Dip from the local auto store and I know it isn't perfect but I really like the way it looks. Wife really liked it too so a big win!

Now it has me thinking about doing the skull caps on the mirror and the door handles (I left the handle chrome to match the rest of the handles on the truck for now.

THANKS! I don't disagree on the tail lights, I think that would look good as well.
