Picked up this 08 last Wednesday. It has the lt3 options. It was a special order for the original owner and I am the 3rd owner. Fully loaded besides sunroof and nav. Has 160k on the clock and runs great.

Also just installed a billet grill insert.

Nice looking truck. 160k is still fairly young. I'm looking to get another one as my DD so I can retire the built one to part time status.
What are your plans?

Thanks. Not really sure yet. It will be my DD so nothing to crazy. Thinking tune, retro fit headlights, tint front door windows. Thinking of powder coating the rims as the clear is bad on them. Maybe a new head unit to go with the Bose system.

No offense, but do you have any intention of offroading it?

Well, best of luck. I don't think I'll be much assistance as my expertise is in off road mods.
GMTNation may have more of the info you're interested in.

What would be a nice setup to keep my current rims and tires and raise it up a couple inches? Guess I'm not looking for total offroad right now but some more clearance would be nice.
