Hey guys I've got a 1997 c1500 Silverado that I'm planning on upgrading. Most of the build won't start until summer after I graduate.

Exterior:
Recon Smoked Cab Lights
Reflexxion 2" Ram Air Cowl hood
Westin Sportsman Grille Guard
Plan on HID's Need help with this please
35's in either Nitto Trail or Mud Grapplers
18x10 Gear Recoil wheels (Done)

Interior:
Blue LED instrument cluster
Convert other lights to LED's
2 Alpine R10's Thin (In Process)
Boston Acoustic Speakers (Done)
Pioneer CD Receiver (Done)

Suspension:
Zone 3" Body Lift
RCX 4" Suspension Lift
Daystar 2 1/2" Coil Spacer
This would give me 9 1/2" of lift which i think is plenty enough for 35's. Do you think I could possibly squeeze 37's?
Also if you guys could give input on what I have for a lift and what you would do differently

Engine/Exhaust:
Building a 383 Part#'s from summit racing
Eagle street and strip rotating assembly Part# B13004L03053
Cloyes original true roller timing set Part# 9-3157
Edelbrock E210 Cylinder Heads Part# 5085
Edelbrock Rolin Thunder Camshaft Part# 22076
Edelbrock Super Victor EFI Intake Manifold Part# 29135
Crane Cams gold race pro series rockers Part# 11748-16
Trick Flow Fuel Injectors Part# 89030
Hooker Competition Headers Part# 2462-2HKR
Remove Cat
BlackBear Tune
Flowmaster super 40 series Mufflers (Done)

Any input y'all have is appreciated. I'll post pictures of how it sits right now later

Looks like a pretty clean truck.

Thanks and I'm just looking to start making it my own. Gonna start on the engine sometime in the next few weeks, tearin down the 350 in the garage and getting it sent to a machine shop. Any advice on what I should start on next?
