You might be right on the RST being Ground Force but the gibbs were modified as well. Said to have different springs in the front along with the 2 inch drop shackles. It's also noted in articles as well as the sales brochure.
I just wasn't able to find any specifics on the actual parts used.

I believe the front suspension used was Ground force. The cat back was Corsa, I also believe you can still purchase the Carbon fiber covers that are supposed to be around the super charger. Everything else is hard to find. The Inventory of NOS front bumper's for the Silverado's is now gone. So what ever is left out there is it.
Ya, not sure who the original owner was but pretty sure the paper work is long gone cause the guy I bought it from had no clue about it.

Still undecided what I want to do for the front end. Not sure I am patient enough or willing to spend the money on a JG bumper if one shows up. Might just do an SS or something along those lines. Will do a roll pan in the rear.

It doesn't specifiy what was used but on the build sheet it mentions something about different suspension setup or performance springs or something along those lines. I know it has a stiffer ride and sits lower in the front and rear than my dads 03 extended cab. Then again he is also 4x4

Spent most of the evening with my brothers help cleaning, waxing and buffing. It's TONS better than it was before. Still need to polish the rims and give that Corsa tip some more love.

I will say that once the truck is clean the California Duster I have had for years just became my new best friend. That thing does great once the truck is polished up.

On to the pics. Rims still need to be polished as well as the Corsa tip needs to be scrubbed some more. Also it was getting late so I am sure I missed wiping down some of the dust and what not that floated it's way back onto the truck.


Damn black trucks show everything LOL.

Pulled the tail lights out and third brake light. Will clean those up and tint those tomorrow.


Have JL XR components to put into the doors also. Was going to do it tonight but still undecided where to mount the tweeter. I can reuse the stock tweeter location or I have seen some mount it in the door above the window controls. Anyone have pics of how they mounted theirs?

They have shown up for less. Look at his feed back at one point they were $36 each.

I am not sure were he got them from but I got mine from another seller that had them as a package of door emblems. He also had the supercharger emblem and the plastic lic plate with the JG logo as well as some left over interior badges from the 700 range on up.

I will have to see who I purchased them from.

The hardest one to find is the emblem for the front cover. Occasionally the front covers pop up. But the emblem for them never does.

FWIW the tailgate badge is slightly smaller then the door badges.
