New GMC Sierra Truck Project

Hey there boys and girls hows it going.

I have a 2012 GMC Sierra 4WD Black, I've currently been thinking about adding a lift kit to it 7.5" kit and some new mud tires.

Its not nearly expensive as I thought it was going to be the lift kit is only $999, the rims are 20" $203 each which isn't to bad and finally the wheels which are $189 each but im not complaining.

So all together im going to spend around $2612 plus the taxes which isn't bad it could be alot worse! The instructions say around 10-12 hours but it make take a day or so for me since I plan on just doing in my garage with a buddy of mine.

Heres the links to the parts if you guys want to check em out.

Tires - http://www.roughcountry.com/cepek_tire_mudcountry.html

What do you guys think about all of this?

Happy smoking

bad idea.Have you ever uninstalled or installed suspensions before?.It isn't as easy as just following instructions.My suggestion...fill up your bottles b/c you're gonna be torching

10 or 12 hours LOL maybe in a truck shop,not in your garage w/ a buddy.Unless you are both pros.

Yeahh i've done suspensions before i grew up around cars my dad was a mechanic years ago. Ohh i know nothing ever as easy as it seems i leanred that long ago haha, I have 2 welders and a hoist so it won't be to bad. Thats what i said 10-12 hours at a truck shop but really a day or so since its me and a buddy.

My dad is a tv repair man with a awsome set of tools.But really I wouldn't fuck with a new GMC.I wouldn't trust a soul w/ my new truck.I have fought for days with a single bushing before.Besides lift kits make girls think you have a small peter
If that truck were mine,I might buy some rims and some wax and keep it beautiful

for the record,my newest truck so far is a 89,so I don't know shit about new trucks

I was always curious about if your a like a cable/tv dude can you just like hook up your own cable for free ? I wasn't going to fuck with it but I have this thing for mudding and the stock height just isn't cutting it because at first I was just going to go with bigger wheels . Eh I have a girl and she knows my peters not small and thats all that matters hahah

My buddie has a 2010 gmc diesel,he went 7" or 9" and bigger tires/rims and has been miserable!! Had it all professionally done at a well known performance shop too! Lots of vibration issues,and he spent $8500....
2012? Pretty nice truck to take a gamble with! Bigger the lift-bigger the life long issues...
Shit,a 3" lift and rims/tires can transform a truck.

yeah lifts fuck a truck up.I'd build a truck for just off road use.IMO,much more fun,cheaper and the 2012 stays in tip top shape.I'd keep the new gmc on the pavement
