Finally completed the lemon law buyback by GM for my Sierra and purchased a 25 ST. So far tinted front 2 windows and emblems, added 1.25" Bora spacers all the way around, Bambi mode and amber DRLs in Forscan and two coats of Adams Graphene Ceramic Spray Coating. Completed first oil change this weekend at ~1300 miles. Will hopefully lower it towards the end of the year, wife said no mods for a year... Will do little things that fly under the radar. 20250425_120848.jpg 20250425_121000.jpg 20250425_121037.jpg 20250425_121049.jpg 20250425_121026.jpg 20250425_121120.jpg

Easier to ask for forgiveness instead of permission!
100% doing small things for now. Will put an oil separater on her Telluride so I have an excuse to put one on mine.

Finally was able to do a few more mods. Did the J&L oil separator, Fenfab ECU cover (black w/blue backing plate, and Redline hood struts. H&R springs and Steeda rear sway bar (currently middle setting). Also did the ebay intercooler and removed the shutters. Couple of issues with the intercooler, MAP sensor bolt was too short and threading b/w rod and bolt for support legs was different. Drilled outbthe threads on the rod and used a nut to adjust height.

Nice. Springs are next on my list. I'm considering the intercooler, but it's not urgent. The thing runs like a scalded dog with the tune anyway.

My F150 was a similar color, and I agree. I chose it partly because it’s durable. Some colors tend to swirl too easily. I wash and spray wax it twice a week, and it always looks wet.

Lowering didn't really change the ride quality, if anything it took a little bit of the uncertainty from it by having less body roll, it felt more planted, and gave me more confidence entering and exiting on/offramps. Use that as your argument for lowering it.

I figured. The sway bar already helps some. I was big in the mini truck scene and you could put them on rails lol. Im just debstigg by spring brands now. Deciding on drop distance and rake. It’ll happen likely in March.
