I'll be redeploying from Iraq in december, and have plans to get a 2008 silverado,4wd. I have begun doing research on what i want to fix it up. My intent is to lift it, w/ 6" susp lift. appropriate sized BFG A/T's. I'm not familiar with all the brands and specifics. It will be a daily driver, look great but also have what it takes to handle some muddin' on the weekends. i don't expect a full "how to" response, but i could really use some do's and dont's. the last thing I wanna be is "that guy"

Any suggestions about the rims, normal vs offset?

i was advised that the z71 package wd suffice if i don't plan on doing any the "rough stuff".

Yeah, I'm the new guy so feel free to throw all the "new guy" jokes at me.
I've got a million questions, but Ive got another 10 months to put it altogether.
