My 2500HD Build
 

Sold my 04 and picked up an 08 GMC. Its bone stock right now, but I have some goodies bought and a few more on the way so I thought I'd show my progress as I go along.
Here are a couple shots as it sits

This weekend a friend of mine is going to help me install the lift, I went with a 4.5" BDS and upgraded to the Fox 2.0 shocks

Next was wheels/tires, I picked out KMC XD Hoss 20x9 wrapped with Nitto trail grapplers 35"x12"

I originally ordered the all black wheels but these machined face ones came in instead and I actually like them so I'll try them and switch to black if necessary

Next up was to get rid of the DPF and EGR, so i got a blocker plate and ordered a 4" DiamondEye Exhaust and 3" Flo-Tech downpipe... I'd recommend the downpipe as a good alternate to the bigger brands, half the cost and looks to be great build quality. I also got my monitoring display in that day, went with the Edge Insight CTS.

I looked at a few programmers and ended up going with EFI Live, and added the 5 position switch. Also ordered an EGT Probe yesterday and the last piece of the project I ordered today, so I should have it early next week. I went with an Air Dog II to keep her fed

trucks gonna look awesome !

I got those same tires on my new f 350 . came on it when I bought it . im a toyo fan .but dam these tires are impressive .

I also really like the toyos, what kind of longevity are you seeing out of your Nittos?

too soon to tell . I can tell you 3k miles or more and o cupping of any kind . 35 12.5 also . they howl a little more than my duelly 35 12.5 toyos do . but ill see how they compare .

Thats gonna be bad ass!

Awesome! Can't wait to see the final product!

more pics! looking good!!
