Pulling the trigger on a 3/4 ton gasser.

If everything goes smoothly, I will be the new owner of a 17 GMC 2500 Crewcab 4x4 with the 6.0. 
Sold my 2010 Sierra Extended cab z71 a day after I listed it for sale.
Anyone have any firsthand experience with the lifts for these trucks? I know I can crank the torsion bars a little but don't want to go too crazy and throw my CV angles all out of whack. Looking at the rough country, zone, and CCM 3" lifts.

If by "everything" do you mean you need mama's approval, the bank's or both?

Not even close to 60k. I'm not one of those people.
And by everything goes smoothly, I meant as long as we get the paperwork done so I can pick it up Saturday.
Bunch of smartasses in here.

Doesn't a stripped one list for $53k and change? So, TTL will get you to $60k - even if they take 8 to 10 off, that's still $50k for a pick em up truck without a diesel motor.
What am I missing?

42 and a half out the door = not close to 60. (And that's not including down payment).

Make your money.
Spend it how you want.
Congrats on the new truck. I got one similar to that.

Get a zone offroad lift and check out the Bilstein 5100 adjustable shocks if they make them for a 17 GMC 2500

My dad bought that exact truck about a month ago. It is pretty awesome and drives great. He won't be getting any lifts, accessory's, etc. but I really like it. Congrats on the new rig.

Yours stock height? I just want to get rid of the super arse high look and put some meatier tires on it. Nothing ridiculous.
Posted on 8/8/17 at 3:03 pm to stein_burgundy
Torsion keys, decent shocks. Used to run Fox, but just put a set of King's on the 4R, depends on end use.

The adjustables are for 1500 trucks with strut suspensions. The 3/4 ton is torsion bars so the lifts all consist of keys, differential drop spacers, upper control arms and new shocks.

3" Adventure Series (Zone)
Posted on 8/8/17 at 3:11 pm to SwampBandit
That's the one I was looking at. Just wondered if anyone on here had firsthand experience with it. How to the angles look on the CV shafts.
Zone actually offers a free 5 yr /100000 mile supplemental warranty on parts that the dealer may not cover because of the lift if there is ever an issue.

I second the zone adventure 3". That's what I'll be putting on my truck. Out of curiosity, why would you buy a 3/4 ton gas burner? Diesel is the way to go, especially the new L5P Duramax.

No need for a diesel. Like the ride of a 3/4 ton. 6.0 has proven a very reliable engine. My dad has a 2001 that's never missed a lick
Posted on 8/8/17 at 4:59 pm to stein_burgundy
I've got a 2011 with almost 200k miles on it and it still runs fine and quiet. I had a GMC Duramax and a King Ranch diesel before and just wanted a quieter truck for a change. I have a F450 to tow anything heavy but I hardly use it. This one pulls fine.
I'm not sure if I will get a gas of diesel on the next one but really have no complaints. I really want to drive this one just to see how far I can get out of it.
Enjoy.

Friend of mine finally sold his 2007 Duramax 2500 for a 2017 version. Apparently GM put enough upgrades into the newest Duramax to convince him it was worth the buying a new truck and making payments again. The 6.0 is a great engine but I'd delete the AFM system.

Gas is $2.....$2! I have a 6.8L ford gasser and I dont even track mileage. Who cares at $2 gal? However i only pull on weekends every month or two. Drive what you want. Congrats on new truck. Dont elmer island it.

Got my 2016 in late December. Been very pleased thus far.
