Word. Any idea if he does interior LED changeovers? Ive been tossin the idea around for a while about going with blue interior LEDs in the dash and switches n whatnot.

Also been tossin around the idea of doin a 6" lift. Any reccomendations and advice? Will I have to regear and add better brakes n all that? Im not gunna need new wheels Im runnin 20x8.5 Rockstars but Ill prolly need a bigger tire, only 32" Cooper Zeon LTZs.

Definitely does I bet. Easier to do it yourself. I did. And lift wise a procomp is fine. If you don't have 373s you'll have to regear. Tires should be 35s. I could find you a deal on 35x12.5x20s too. Around 8 and change.

Howd you go about doin your interior LEDs? I cant imagine its all that hard, just tedious. If you got the know-how and I get the parts, maybe I can bribe ya with a case of beer for a hand? Haha.

And how would I find out what gears came with the truck? And what you reccommend to pull a 20"wheel with 35's on a 6"lift with a 2.5" level? And would stock brakes be an issue?

stock brakes are fine on mine. 80k on them. my truck is a 6" stacked with a 3" and a 4" AAL in the back. i have 373s.. check the axle tag it should say 8.8 or 9.75 and under should say 373 or 355. as far as the lights go, do you have the dual map lights in the front and one piece overhead in the back? the front map lights are 194s and the rear if its a single light it a 33mm festoon bulb.

Ill check the axel tag tomorrow when it's a bit brighter out.

And for the interior LED's I was talkin about like my dash and light switches n ****. I was gunna leave the overhead lights alone. Or do a bright-white if anything.

I switched my map, cargo, dome and plate lights to leds this fall. Went with 6k. Hacking into the interior electronics like that scares me. They are extremely bright, I'm satisified
