5 Must-Have Silverado Upgrades And Accessories

Do you have a Silverado you’d like to customize? You came to the right place. The Silverado is already a great work of engineering, but customizing your Silverado makes it truly yours.

Plus, the right upgrades will have your truck looking like a million bucks. Just take a look at this Silverado we customized for one of our customers:

1. Lift Kit

There’s nothing quite like a lifted Silverado. Lifting your Silverado has many different benefits, including:

  • A rugged and aggressive look
  • More off-road capability

Whether you want a more aggressive looking Silverado, or you like to take your truck off the beaten path, we recommend lifting it. A lifted truck is an off-road beast that turns heads on the street and clears difficult obstacles like a boss.

Lifting a truck can be a complicated job, but the end result is so worth it. If you want to lift your Silverado, you have two options:

  1. Get a lift kit and install it on your truck
  2. Have a reputable shop (like Karl Kustoms) lift your truck for you

At Karl Kustoms, we lift plenty of Silverados. For example, check out this 2020 Silverado 2500 HD High Country we lifted with a 5″ lift kit:

We’ll be happy to lift your Silverado for you! Just get in touch with us here. If you prefer to do the opposite (lower your Silverado), this blog post may give you ideas.

2. All-Season Performance Tires

If your Silverado is more than a daily driver, then you may want some all-season performance tires. A set of all-season performance tires is great for:

  • Off-roading
  • Work trucks
  • Performance racing

Also, all-season performance tires will spruce up your Silverado’s appearance!

3. Nerf Bars

Some of the higher Silverado trim levels come with running boards. That’s great, but do they protect the sides of your truck from lower body damage? They don’t, but nerf bars do. A nerf bar is a tubular bar that’s fitted to your truck. It comes with a flat area near the doors to allow you to step up into the truck with ease. This can be a useful part, especially if you have a lifted Silverado and/or take your truck off-roading often.

4. LED Light Bars

Look at this masterpiece we customized a little while back:

This Silverado is loaded with upgrades. The light bars are among the ones that stand out the most.

Do you like to go off-roading with your Silverado? You’re going to get a lot of use out of a LED light bar. An LED light bar mounted on the front of your truck or a set of LED flood lights on top of your truck will be an ideal solution for off-roading at night. You might also like some LED lights installed under your Silverado or inside your truck bed.

5. Tonneau Cover

A tonneau cover is an easy upgrade that brings many benefits. With a tonneau cover on your Silverado:

  • The contents of your truck bed will stay dry
  • The contents of your truck bed will be safe from thieves (if your tonneau cover comes with a built-in lock)
  • Your truck will look better and more complete
  • Your truck bed will be safe from snow

You can choose from many different tonneau cover styles. Some of the most common styles include:

  • Hard folding
  • Hard roll-up
  • Soft roll-up
  • Retractable

At Karl Kustoms, we have a large selection of tonneau covers for you to choose from.
