    Have a new truck and need to add my own personal touch to it. I am hoping you might be able to point me to a good reseller.

    This is what I want:

    2 inch drop shackles
    sway bars
    billet grill

    I have seen good things about DJM, Hellwig, and Trenz. If some of you can point me to a trustworthy reseller for these items, I would appreciate it.

    Oh and by the way it is a 2003 Ext Cab Silverado.

    I wish people were like slinkys, fun to play with but when I get bored I can push them down the stairs.

    Thanks for the replies. Found a good price on the shackles I want at Stylinconcepts.com, but the grill seemed kinda high. They did not have sway bars for my truck either . Unfortuantly I could not find the sway bars at the other 2 sites either. Hellwig is a good brand right? Maybe I should just call them Monday for preffered venders?

    Thanks again!

    You have an '03 correct? Some of the parts may have changed and may just not be out yet. Either that or they aren't listed yet on the web. I've noticed with alot of part websites, including Stylinconcepts, it takes them awhile before they list their parts online. I'd give them a call to make sure, they sell alot more than they have listed on their website.

    How much was the billet grille? I paid over $150 for mine about two years ago

    Yeah it was 150. It is just not clear what type it is. I saw someone with a bolt over and it looked fine in the picture. I just image they would stick out to far. So I think I want one that replaces the current inserts.

    Found these:
    http://www.streetbeatcustoms.com/chevsil03bil.html (doesn't tell me the brand)
    http://www.sporttruckdirect.com/Trenz_Grills.html (only 89.95 for the brushed grill)

    I think both of those are Trenz and I think Trenz only makes bolt over. Could be wrong though.

    Any ideas on the quality of Carriage Works?
    I like the exterior perimeter that Carriage Works has.
    They sell an insert and a bolt over. Web page is easy to use also. Trenz was a pain!

    Just found this one for $111. Has the Manufactorer's p/n so I know exactly what I am getting. Just need to see if I can get any info on the reseller.

    5-8 and I have T-Rex billet grilles from JBM Sport Truck Accessories on our C10's. The fit, finish, and overall quality is excellent.
