I like the 06, but IMO, Id go with the 03. I just think it flows better.

Not really since '04 and '08 trucks are two totally different body styles.....GMT800 vs. GMT900.

Very Nice Truck~!!!!

Well. Im not going to go all out in a hurry. Part1. will be to buy the SS front bumper, SS Wheels, and role pan then lower it. Gotta a 5.3 for it but im thinking bout a 6.0. Then Ill start on the others.

So where did you get your bumper and scoops? And how bads the install???

yeah, ill just sell the one I got but I know the cladding is noticeably lower then stock which will make the roll pan unusable. So for the scoops on the bottom of the front bumper you'd and grills youd just recommend buying from GM parts??
