2008 GMC Sierra - Fantastic Four - Tech

Fantastic Four

By Brandan Gillogly

We've been fans of regular cab shortbed trucks for a long time, and have featured many of them in the last few issues. Regular cab trucks have great proportions, and just look right, especially when they're lowered. So, when we had the chance to give our Fantastic Four treatment to an '08 GMC Sierra, we jumped at the opportunity.

Once we landed from our leap, our camera gear was in Henderson, Nevada, where the guys at Divine One Customs call home. When we were ready to shoot the photos, the guys at Divine One began spinning the wrenches. We'll show you how Tony and Chuck installed the Ground Force suspension, True Flow intake, Carriage Works billet grille, Gibson exhaust, and the final touch: Bonspeed billet wheels and Continental tires. The crew actually installed the suspension and exhaust at the same time, but we split the installation up for the story to keep it simple. So, if you see an exhaust photo where the suspension is still half-way assembled, you'll know why. This simple install really changed the way our test mule looked. If your truck is in need of similar parts, too, check out the source box for more information.
