This GMC build is a standout example of how carefully selected upgrades can elevate both the look and functionality of a truck. Every modification was chosen to enhance performance, improve daily usability, and create a bold, custom appearance that feels purposeful rather than overdone. From the suspension and tires to the finishing details and protective accessories, this build strikes the perfect balance between aggressive styling and practical features, making it equally suited for daily driving, work duties, and weekend adventures.
MotoFab 3″ Front / 2″ Rear Level Lift
At the core of this build is a MotoFab leveling lift featuring a 3-inch front and 2-inch rear configuration, designed to eliminate the factory rake and give the GMC a more aggressive, leveled stance. This setup not only improves the truck’s overall profile but also adds valuable ground clearance, making it more capable when navigating uneven terrain or rough road conditions. Unlike basic leveling solutions, the MotoFab lift maintains ride comfort while enhancing the truck’s commanding presence. The result is a GMC that sits higher, looks tougher, and feels more confident behind the wheel without sacrificing everyday drivability.
Toyo Open Country AT3 Tires
Complementing the upgraded suspension are Toyo Open Country AT3 tires, a go-to choice for drivers who want reliable all-terrain performance without excessive road noise. These tires are engineered to deliver strong traction in a wide range of conditions, including rain, dirt, gravel, and light off-road environments, making them ideal for a versatile truck build like this one. Their durable construction and aggressive tread pattern not only improve performance but also contribute to the truck’s rugged appearance, reinforcing its ready-for-anything attitude while still providing a smooth, controlled ride on pavement.
Hard Quad-Fold Bed Cover
To enhance functionality and cargo protection, this GMC is equipped with a hard quad-fold bed cover that offers both durability and convenience. Designed to keep tools, gear, and personal items secure, this bed cover provides reliable protection against weather and theft while remaining easy to use. The quad-fold design allows for quick access to the truck bed when needed, making it a practical solution for both work and everyday use. Its low-profile fit also helps maintain a clean, streamlined look that complements the truck’s overall build.
Blackout Package
A full blackout package was added to sharpen the GMC’s exterior and create a more cohesive, aggressive appearance. By removing factory chrome accents and replacing them with blacked-out finishes, the truck takes on a modern, custom look that pairs perfectly with the leveled stance and all-terrain tires. This subtle yet impactful upgrade allows the truck’s body lines and overall design to stand out, giving it a bold presence that looks equally at home on the street or off the beaten path.
XPEL Ultimate Plus Ceramic Window Tint
Finishing off the build is XPEL Ultimate Plus ceramic window tint, a premium upgrade that enhances both comfort and long-term protection. This advanced ceramic film significantly reduces heat and glare, helping keep the interior cooler and more comfortable during hot days while improving visibility for the driver. In addition to heat rejection, the tint blocks harmful UV rays, protecting interior surfaces from fading and wear over time. The added privacy and sleek appearance provide the final touch, tying together the truck’s exterior with a refined, high-quality finish.
