So I finally got the refund check from my extended warranty that I canceled, so I went crazy and dumped all the money into goodies for my truck. I'm so excited to get this stuff. Here's what I got:

Front/Rear Euro lights off of ebay for $80 total shipped
Daystar Shackles from Rocky Mountain Suspension for $54 shipped
Stainless Rocker Panel Covers off of ebay for $71 shipped
HPIII off of ebay for $260 shipped
PA 2" BL and Taylor Spiro Pro wires from Summit for $250 total shipped
GM Hitch from GM Parts Zone for $116 shipped
1.25" Hubcentric Wheel Spacers off of ebay for $80 shipped

The total for everything was like $940, which considering I was going to do a SL 6" lift ($1600 plus at least $1000 for install) I feel like I got a bargain, plus the combination of looks and hopefully a little performance I think will outweigh the coolness I would have gotten with the SL (plus I saved like $1500). I can't wait for it all to come (I shipped it to work so I'd have a reason to leave early when it starts arriving....hehe).

Once I get all this done I am going to take it to the muffler shop and get a Flowmaster Deltaflow 40 series installed with 3" Catback pipes. Then maybe I'll look into tires for the beast. Then my truck should be almost perfect....YEAH!!!

Anyway, I just wanted to thank everyone for all their help and guidance in the last couple weeks answering all my questions so that I will get the best possible products (as tested and abused by all of you crazy people). So thanks and I'll keep you posted as to how the progress is coming. Thanks again!!!

Next thing is wheels and tires.

I still have to work the CFO on that issue.

That is a pretty big bite all in one shot

Looks like you did your homework though.

Once the lift is on you'll see the need for tires

, Or your CFO will

I was gonna say what HJ said as soon as you put that BL on you will want tires right away those baby tires will look a bit silly

that was 1 reason I got the wheels and tires before the lift so then I had a reason to lift her.

She said that 1/2 way through the lift

Your ZR5 didn't come with 75 series as well as no hood light?
