Yeah so do I but I wasn't sure if it would look weird since I won't have a lift or anything. So trying to get some input on what you guys think

I say go for it then. Tow mirrors look good if you have the right kind of truck with them

I say you should do it, lot of people say no on a 1500 without a monster lift, say it looks goofy. I have the exact same truck as you, 04 Sierra, red ex-cab with tow mirrors, but i have my front end leveled and 305/70R16 MT Baja ATZ tires. It should look fine on your truck without lift, and will only look better as you raise the truck. You will need to level the mirrors; buy a couple of washers so they are level on the truck instead of pointing up to the sky. There are some threads about leveling the mirrors, I won't go into it here.

Funny, as 2wd rated trucks rate higher for towing too, so putting tow mirrors on a 2wd makes more sense then on a 4x4.

Put what you like on your truck... life's to short to worry if anyone else likes it.
