I went with the stock look more or less, just moved the taillights (LED) to the upper mount position using the factory holes. I find them more visible & think they have more impact on people following you this way. I may use the lower mount holes for back up lights in the future. I also agree with others here that the stock chains & covers look cool on these trucks, I don't find they rattle at all with the covers. However I did find the covers that came with my new chains rather stiff, so I decided to remove them and make my own more flexible covers using a bicycle inner tube, worked out great! Love the full wrap around diamond plate step bumper too and I can't forget, what I think is the best GMC tailgate logo ever produced!
