How are you liking those Bilsteins? My step dad had them on his Titan and HATED them, said it rode so rough. But I would imagine his ext. cab is much lighter then our trucks so maybe the extra weight helps smooth them out.
Love them. Ride is slightly firmer than factory but rides like a truck should. Not too harsh at all. The fact that they are adjustable is nice as well. I probably will be pulling them out next year and raising them to the top setting and adding a small block in the rear for some more height. I got a lifetime alignment when I installed them.

Thanks! My previous truck was white so I was a bit pickier this time around. I always look for the best deal so I did look at a few White FX4 trucks before I found this one but for as much money as I was spending I knew I needed to get a color I liked or else I wouldn't want to keep it long-term. Blue Flame and Ruby Red were my primary choices with Black being third. Very happy with my choice.
Can't complain about my old truck though. Sold it for $3k less than I paid for it 5 years and 70k miles later. Definitely got my money out of it and never left my stranded.

I looked at probably five or six different trucks. They were all either silver ingot metalic, sterling gray metallic, or blue flame metallic... I did entertain an oxford white one... but I ruled that one out very quickly. I settled on the sterling gray. I totally understand the concept of dropping that much money on something and needing to absolutely love the color lol.
Beautiful Chevy! That is still my favorite body style truck. If it wasn't 10 years old, I'd love to have a 2006 blue Silverado crew cab Z71.
I loved it unfortunately it was starting to bubble rust on the rockers being a midwest truck all it's life and being 12ish years old with 170k miles for the price I sold it for it was the smart move to do. I paid $13,200 for it and sold it for $10,000 and put 70k miles over 5 years. Great truck, no issues with it really (only maintenance items were tires, battery, idler/pitman arm, a front wheel hub) but it was time to get into something new. I've been a GM fan all my life I just wasn't that impressed with 07-13 Silverado's and couldn't justify a Duramax. A 2015 Duramax is probably my next move but i'll probably pay this off before I go that route.
