First, it will be tough to get a white truck to be black, but it can be done with a about a couple quarts of black paint, rollers, and some small paint brushes for the fine painting. You're gonna have to change the front clip from GM to Chevy which is also easy, but pricey. Other than that, the lift kit is possible and would probably do just what you wanted it to do.

Please remember that the truck you are comparing it to is 4WD compared to your 2WD. In your year, if memory serves, the 2WDs set lower than the 4WDs as opposed to the newer body styles so your end results will not be the same.

 

Actually it is a 2wd truck and I was going to keep it white with gmc logo

 

Ok, so that part is decided.

Have you priced the 4.5" lift? That's quite a lot of dinero to spend on a 2WD that has all the characteristics of a 2WD which include, normally, one-wheel drive and the ability to get it stuck where your 4WD friends can go that you can't.

 

Yea it is $1500 for the lift+exhaust and install

 

If you aren't doing tires just do a level (IMO) but definitely do something, that truck is tater diggin pretty bad

 

I plan on getting some nitto terra grapplers in about a month

 

for a 2wd I will not spend the money for 4.5inch I think level kit is enough and will be nice. Its my opinion but I dont see any positive to put a 4.5inch lift kit on a 2wd

 

Guess I will probably level it, do y'all think some blacked out head and tail lights with 31in terra grapplers look good with it leveled

 

My best suggestion to you is to check out the white truck roll call in the exterior section. You'll find pics and descriptions of a lot of great looking white rigs there. You sound kind of undecided as to how you really wanna go, so some pics might help you along.

 

+1

 

what size tires is on that pic of the black silverado with the 4.5 rc lift?

 

33s with 18 inch rims

Yes and I put one on my truck in February and I have 20in rims

if not more of yours?

Classic!!

 

i don't have any more of the black but i can get some more of mine later today.

I'm sure you are debating getting it lifted or not. I would say just do it i spent 6 months debating and when i finally got it lifted i don't regret it one bit. i went for the pre runner style so my truck is a little bit lower in the back than the front but i love it.

 

yeah im going to do it. mine is already leveled w/ the ready lift 2inch spacers. so it will give it that cali squat

 

It may be different on your body style from the NNBS, but if you get a level, I think you should be able to squeeze 33s ...I agree, I wouldn't lift a 2wd, but everyone has their own thing. Also, keep in mind that your brushguard is also part of the reason youre sagging...might wanna invest in some bilstein 5100s to give you a little more lift. Make sure you get it aligned after!
