ill tell you the same thing i told txmaro

get the HD plastic inner fenders for the front, hds have a 2" body lift built into the frame so the fender wells ahve to accomodate for that extra 2" so gm made the hd ones 2" longer, theyll be bout $90 for both but youll have em all 1 piece instead them stupid gap guards

I have gap guards and you can't even see them. Mine have a seem where they both meet, but it still looks stock. I can get you a better pic if you want but here is the best one I have right now:

I can try and get a pic of my salty wheel wells soon but dont buy the gap gaurds. I may do what beastmode was saying in the front. Right now their is nothing up front but I like it and you see a little of the headers i spent a bunch on. As for the rear this sounds dumb but go to home depot. Get your self some 4" by 4' base molding. Go to local auto parts and buy the black push clips (I call them x-mas trees). The base molding is a thicker rubber then the ones you can order. Install it with the push clips and looks like it came from the factory. Oh ya it only cost $8 total and I have extra clips.

Im all about cheap and I practically live at Home Depot since I do construction for a living

The only thing about leaving the front is the rain, dirt and mud gets caked up there. I may get the front wheel wells and do something about the extra inch or leave it.

I cant use a 2". Ill need the total 9" of lift to squeaze a set of 36s.
