Hey guys -

This has been an ongoing process for me but here is where I’ve landed.

Specs:
2014 Chevy Silverado LT Z71 Crew Cab 4WD
Bought it used in 2015 with 2500 miles

Mods:
Removed front air dam
Putco SilverLux LED bulbs in hi/low beams and fogs
K&N Air Filter
2 inch level
275/70/18 BFG KO2’s
Weather tech front and rear mats
TruXP tuner to adjust for tire size
Undercover Ridgelander Tonneau Cover
Smittybilt Overlander RTT
Rhino lined bed
GM underseat storage

Initially was running Bilstein 5100’s up front but the ride was very stiff and one actually crapped out on me. Just opted to go regular level after that. Been much happier. Gets me where I need to go 90% of the time.

This is my daily so I’ve gotta keep things under control but I’d really like to add:
Decked Storage
Light bar in the front grill or bull bar with light bar
Full rear LED conversion
Air compressor- need suggestions
Full air intake?
Winch?
Method race wheels

Any suggestions welcome!

What else should I be looking at? Thanks for checking it out. Here’s some pictures. Will be adding more! IMG_0503.JPGIMG_0450.JPGIMG_0421.JPGIMG_0422.JPG

I basically have the same truck and unless you go with a really high end LED bar (Baja Design/ Nicer Rigid) you will NOT notice any more light output with a 30" bar in the grill. I have the DECKED system and its awesome.

You really have the same plan I have/had. I went with a Dual ARB compressor. I cant find a winch bumper I like so I am going to have to cut the front bumper and put a support beam behind it for a winch.

I also went with the ARB Dual Air Compressor. I installed it in the unused battery tray by the driver side headlight.

Doesn't Rancho make a hidden winch mount for the later model Silverados?
