2018 Chevy Silverado 2500 Project - CARiD Build Thread
 
Here at CARiD, we love trucks, and Silverado is certainly one of our favorite models out there. So we've decided to go further and start our own project build using the best parts and accessories available for it on our site. Please welcome Black Chevy Silverado 2500 6.6L Midnight Edition Project by CARiD!

This truck is one of the most popular in US with a class-leading 445-horses, and 910 pound-feet of torque under the hood. However, we all know that it can perform much better. What can unleash the real beastly nature of Silverado better than performance upgrades? This is what we've decided to start our project with and cooperated with our friends from Afe. They've sent us a Power Package, designed specifically for this truck, which includes Afe Momentum Air Intake System combined with their Scorcher Tune Module. This killer combo gives our truck additional 70+ horsepower and 138 torque for easier breathing and producing more power.

Well, those numbers won't tell you anything until you can actually see and hear the final result, right? Grab some beer and enjoy, like our tech expert Greg did once he took the truck on the road.

New upgrade to our Chevy Silverado project truck is already on and today we are here with the next review. We thought what can help our truck to take on any trail with confidence prior to going with a lift kit and our friends from Fox came up with a solution. Our review is dedicated to their 2.0 Performance Series Shocks and their installation on our Chevy Silverado.

Fox offers some impressive benefits with this product over typical shocks, like excellent levels of travel with improved rebound and compression while the remote reservoirs increase the oil capacity and move hot oil out of the shot for a massive reduction in fade even on the roughest terrain. Their shocks are designed as a direct replacement for stock suspension or aftermarket lifts kits and feature hassle-free bolt-on installation. When it comes to a comfortable on-road ride and predictable off-road handling in even the toughest conditions or variable temperatures, Fox shocks are the ones you can count on.

Watch Greg's new video review below. Experience yourself the incredible performance and precise control that Fox shocks deliver!
