I've been busy ordering parts already. I have N-fab steps, Bushwacker pocket-style fender flares, a Pro Comp front-end leveling kit, and a hood protector on the way. I also ordered rear fenderwell liners and chrome door handles through the Chevy dealership.

For wheels, Chevy switched to a new 8X180 bolt pattern this year and there are only a few brands of wheels available. I got my heart set on the Pro Comp 6031, but they're on back order for at least two months.

Thats awesome, Congrats!!! I went from a 01 2500 burb to a Duramax and love it! I have a 6" lift on mine with 20's and 35's still pulls great! I run the Edge on mine but havent had a problem yet, PPE makes a great tuner for the Duramax. Nice wheel choice!

I've been steadily working on my new truck and accumulating parts. The project is finally coming together this weekend.

I just mounted these new wheels today. They're 20X9" BMF S.O.T.A. wheels with 33X12.5" Toyo M/T's. I have to massage the rear of the fenderwell tomorrow as they just touch at full lock. The front was raised 2" with a leveling kit.

Still to come are fender flares and steps...

Looks great man, The Toyo are great tires I run them on mine just make sure to rotate them every 3k miles to get optimum life out of them! Also check dieselplace.com for info on all D-max's.

The makeover is complete. Now, I can turn my attention back to the boat.

Good job and yes, now it looks worthy of pulling the Sonic. :drink:

Plum, when you get a chance, can you post a pic of the front and rear of the truck. I would like to see how the wheels/tires look from front and back. :)
