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...
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...
here ya go boss: Bilstein 6112 Strut & Spring Assembled + Rear B8 5100 Shocks Set for 2014-2018 Chevrolet Silverado 1500 4WD RWD
see also, their youtube channel - it's full of info - little of which pertains to GM 1500 series ;)
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.
**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)
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...
First post & new to the community - found you'all by googling "silverado overlander". It's good to be among full-size friends. I almost bought a JKU Rubi but after driving a loaded LTZ 4x4 Silverado with the 6.2, I was entirely smitten (I am, and will most likely always be, a "motor" guy)...
