I thought I would introduce myself here with a build thread of my new to me Silverado.
It's a 15 CCSB High Country with the 6.2l.
I picked it up in February of this year after my 14 got totaled from a severe rear ending. It was the same color had the same topper and ridgid ditch lights, as well as a decked system that was destroyed in the crash. The old one was an ltz with the 5.3l and had a 2.5 inch level with a 1.5 inch body lift on 33x20 duratracs.
The new one I decided I wanted to go 35's especially since the 6.2 has plenty of power to get it around. To get the 35's to clear with out rubbing at full lock or off camber situations a full 6 inch suspension lift is pretty much required despite what others say about so cal mods and such it's just asking for a cut tire. Anyway I got a zone offroad/BDS 6 inch lift, I don't mean to say that they are the same company I mean to say that I got parts from both kits. I got the basic zone kit and then I added leaf springs, front struts (without giant spacers), and skid plates from BDS.
I went with method racing 18x9 wheels with the highest offset that would fit and 35x11.5 duratracs ro try to keep the front wheels inside the fenders as much as possible. I hate the bro truck look and don't like rock chips too much either.
For coms I have a kenwood tm-d710g mounted just to the left of the center console with the antenna going through the center of my ARE topper.(no plans for a RTT) I also wired up a generic spod type relay switch deal up beside the a pillar for ditch lights and future lights and possibly lockers.
Right now I have a wilco offroad hitchgate offset ordered since the spare wont fit under the truck anymore. I am also working on an internal rack system inside the topper that will hold axe, shovel, maxtrax, spectre Jerry cans, water jug and 5lb propane cyl. As well as 2 flood lights pointing out each windoor and strip lights inside the topper wired to a second battery running off a ctek250 solar panels and an arb fridge are in the future as well as removing the back seats and building a shelving unit and bed for my 4 legged friend.
Sorry for the long winded post here are the pics.
