My 2015 Chevy Silverado hit 100,000 miles this month, and it needed some freshening up.
Here's where the truck started:
2015 Silverado LT Crew 4x4
5.5 ft Bed
5.3l V8
Tow Package

First thing I did was to put some 285/70R17 BFG KO2s on it and replaced the factory exhaust with a cat-back system with a Flowmaster and dual side exit.
Since I use it for my business, slapped on some logos.

Earlier this year, I slapped on a new company wrap.

As the BFGs started to wear and the factory suspension started to get tired, I realized I needed to make some upgrades if I wanted to use the truck like I wanted.
So, here's what I did:
Icon Vehicle Dynamics Stage 2 kit (front coilovers with Eibach race springs, new tubular upper control arms, and rear bypass shocks)
ProComp Wheels
295/70R17 Toyo Open Country RTs
DiabloSport 87 Octane Tune (CA Compliant) and Speedo Recalibration.

With the Icon kit, the front came up almost 3 inches when leveled out. I still need to trim the front fender wells a bit to allow for better clearance at full lock. But the truck drives, handles, and looks great.

Excited to get out on some trails again.

I like your setup. What kind of tent is that that goes on the bed? I'm looking for a fill in while I save money to install a rack and RTT.

Love seeing another Silverado out there! You went a little taller than I did, as I only did a leveling kit and slight bigger tires. I have the decked system (3 years now) and love it. I also got a rack from KB VooDoo and love that as well. My tent is an electric tent from BunduTech.

Will bed accessories from a 1/2t fit a 3/4t?
The generation GM truck in your picture (the K2) uses the same body and interior between the k1500 and k2500 series. The differences are mainly frame size and strength, springs, axles, and engine choices.

So, accessories for a k1500 half ton double cab with 6.5 ft bed will fit a 2500 series if it is a double cab with 6.5 foot bed. Crew cab with short bed to crew cab with short bed, single cab with 8 ft bed to single cab with 8 ft bed.
