Thread: 09 chevy silverado crew cab

hey guys my name is jake and I am somewhat new to the site. I just decided to sell my duramax since all I ever tow is my rzr and dirtbike. I bought an 09 chevy silverado ltz with all the options and 30k miles to build as a daily driver. The truck had a volant intake and magnaflow exhaust when I bought it. my plans are as follows:

mazzulla front lt kit with 2.5 kings to start
kmc enduro beadlocks
37'' baja ta's
deaver c85 springs
king 3.0 triple bypasses in rear
gmr hangers
blitz shackles
4.88 gears
detroit locker

I like your plan!

thanks i am trying how to upload the pics so they are large

its easier to upload them to a site like photobucket then copy the [img] code and paste it here.

can't wait to see this thing get built!

getting a one piece front clip built and waiting on parts for the rear

that looks awesome so far. who is building the one piece?

fiberwerx

nice truck man thats a lot of cash to throw down, looks good!

The one piece looks so much better in person, you will be stoked!

holy shit, that's not "plans", that's reality.

congrats on the speed, most of the plans around here take a few months.

thanks guys! I saved my money for a while before i finally sold my duramax. I had one week off of school, drove out to mazzulla, came home and worked 7 am to 1 am for 7 days and finished installing the long travel, built bumpers, mounted all the tires on the beadlocks, and put the rear fenders on. This is my first truck to build so i am pretty stoked, all I have ever built before this is utv chassis. Here are some updated pics of the clip, fiberwerx really pulled through on this one!!

damn it, travis. why did you make it a trophy clip?

I will be at the hammers thursday night until saturday or sunday, just depends on what my buddy that I am staying with has planned!

Wow I really like the look of that clip. Reminds me of the riot racing chevy prerunner.
Truck turned out real good man. Congrats

Yeah I was originally going to buy the geiser clip that is on the riot racing pre runner so that I wouldnt have to wait to get one built. Unfortunately with that clip you have to move the grill back for it to fit right so I didnt buy it. But from the pics I really like how this one turned out! I cant wait to see it tomorrow

What's your definition of a trophy clip? We matched the factory body lines around the wheel well, and for clearance, the wheel well was raised. That factory wheel well trim on the new Chevy's is huge, so the option was to have that at the hood line, or to make a rise over the wheel well. This is also the only 1 piece I can think of that we offer, that doesn't have any louvers, gills, shark fins, etc. etc. it has a real sleek look.

It's done now, I'll post some pics asap.

i meant the raised wheel wells. but now that you explained it that way, it makes sense. my midget self would never be able to see over the clip if i had one of those.

great looking glass!

X2! Any more pics from different angles?

The finished product looks really good. Internet high five to jakecarver for being the guinea pig and having that made. Truck looks good! I know the finned/louvered stuff sells like hotcakes, but it would be great to see Fiberwerx make some more stuff like this.

It does have the factory style vents that come on HD's, but that's it. Once I get some better pics I'll post those, the cell phone camera is horrible.

This truck is making it harder for me to not want to build my nnbs. Very badass looking ride you have here.

do it, dont think about it just build

now, let's see it getting dirrrrrrrrrrrrty

wow.. this thing is awesome. Very nice and the clip isnt anything too crazy. Very nice.

I vote hack that bumper off and thow a valence on it now!!!!

It def would look better with a bumper more tucked up to the body.

dope truck! i got the 2011 silvy.it came w a procomp lift and 35"s.would love to do this! congrats man

I built the bumper really fast before I had the clip made, which was a mistake. I am going to cut it off and build a much better one that will be tucked up there nicely and hide the stock core support that you can see.

I took the truck to king of the hammers this weekend but my springs and hangers still have not arrived so the rear is still stock. So, unfortunately I was not really able to actually put it to work! But Soon enough it will be put to the test. Im still young and dumb so it will probably be used pretty hard!!

Thanks everyone for the kind words! I will post some more angles as soon as I can take some better pics. Ill also post up pics once my deavers finally get finished and my gmr hangers get here. Then I can start building the rear shock mounts

has anyone had experience putting deaver c85's on an 09 crew cab? I am in the process and I want to know what my options are for the drive shaft? At full droop the driveshaft is too long

Post some more pictures Jake!
