    Why are there so few Silverado overland rigs?

    brother - all of these builds have a life unto themselves. I just found these guys (shock surplus) a few weeks ago when doing my own research - (phenomenal youtube videos by the way - them and Filthy motorsports are running the clinic on suspension. I re-post here because that's an important...

    Why are there so few Silverado overland rigs?

    roger & same Honestly, I'd love to bolt a low PSI procharger to the 6.2 to make my inner Hoonigan happy but the reality is that these motors are great as-is. Yeah, factory throttle response may lag a little but do I really want my 5.5klb truck abusing the tranny (which is known to be weak) all...

    intentionally not running it. I'm at 92k miles on a 6.2 and have no reason to monkey-wrench the GM vodoo.

    BC, if you are going Kings (or Fox for that matter), lead / fab times are terrible right now. I got lucky and scored a set of King's from down south motorsports https://downsouthmotorsports.com/ (ask for a guy named Mika & tell him Daron sent ya) but lead times are approaching no less than 6...

    Might be an option for you regarding hiding the winch: GM Hidden Winch Mounting Plate 14-18 Silverado/Sierra 1500 PU Rough Country #11004 I've been looking into this for the same reasons, I don't want to add weight and massive "bubba gump" front appearance & profile. Trying to keep it clean.

    Why are there so few Silverado overland rigs?

    **note - abridged re-quote here... I agree with everything you posted but am curious, from your experience, what is needed to make 1/2 ton GM truck "IFS Perform with a bunch of money." I'm wrestling with the same thing on my '16 Silverado. I've spent hundreds of hours researching the kits...

    Great point. Also, you may not need to go full-wrap but look into the line of products from 3M for this application. I've had coverage on the front of my rig Pike, where did you ever land with wrapping? (sorry if I missed it)

    Why are there so few Silverado overland rigs?

    Roger that & I like your style! Make sure you check the availability of the Fox's (and all parts) into your build timeline. I got extremely lucky when I found a shop that had the kings that I want. I still haven't found a shop that has Fox's in stock. Lead time for both (built in batches) is...
