I plan to take off the snow plow bottom lip and add chrome tow hooks before christmas.. I really want a ranch hand bumper, but with the crazy rake GM gaves these trucks I think it would look odd till she gets leveled out..

College Station has some crap roads and killer speed bumps.. I just want to level the front somehow that wont kill the balljoints..
