All my stuff must be able to jump curbs still, so no more low would I go. I think the Z71 valence gives an extra inch or so of clearance if you find it catches curbs and parking stops. WIth my drop and Z71 valence I had the same front ground clearance as a stock 2015 LTZ 4x4.

I only switched because I had bad luck with some reproduction rectangle fogs and never liked my OEM valence because it was light grey and didn't match. I still need a better mounting option for the fogs I have in there now but I ended up really liking the Z71 valence and Diode Dynamics fogs.

Its hard to see the fogs because they sit so far back which is what I want to address with a new mounting solution. I like the Z71 valence I got from Summit Racing because its actually black, I haven't done anything to it not even the plastic shine/restore stuff. It matches so well with the factory paint it just blends in and looks normal which is what good MODs should do IMO.

I think the new tails look pretty good. Now I have 2 issues though, no cruise control and for whatever reason my left turn signal just crapped it’s pants. It is constantly on and you can faintly see the turn signal on the cluster. No idea how that happened but I’m thinking the socket is bad.

There is a left turn signal fuse that is correct, haven’t had a chance to check it yet as I leave for vacation today so truck and literally everything else is on the back burner. Time for some R&R
