Default Goin to get my wife a truck, her turn for a project

Goin to Baton Rouge to get my wife a 2002 RCSB 2wd 4.8 silverado, on the way back to SWFL I am gonna stop in vero beach and swap a stepside bed on it (it's even the same color), then the mods start. Think a 2/4 drop is in order, CAI, roll pan, whatever it takes to get the interior to her satisfaction, 255/55/17's on the later model 5 star silverado wheels, a freer flowin but mellow exhaust, soft tonneau cover, and then off to the paint shop. This might be the fastest start to finish project I have done, cuz momma ain't got no wheels right now. She wants to paint it that new colorado orange, but I am gonna try and steer her to the current blue. Doesn't think she realizes whats quite involved in a repaint to make it look "right" , and no I couldn't find a truck closer, why is a V8 RCSB so hard to find?

On a fun note, it does give me a couple days to goof off in Lousiana













any suggestions as to best roll pan, not overly loud exhaust, which drop kit to go with for cost and ride quality etc will be greatly appreciated. Not a noob to this stuff, but Gm's are a different flavor then what i'm used to. Been usin the search function but still have a few questions and details to work out.

Keep, no need to give women another thing to complain about.

Nice truck! Welcome to the Chevy Side!

I suggest:

Magna Flow
Sir Michales roll pan
DJM 3/4 (Control arm / Hanger) I just did this and I am quite happy, you can even add the front and rear DJM Sway Bars!
20 inch wheels

That will keep you busy!
