Cool.  So you shouldn't have too much work to do to get 11's.  I'm trying to work my way down from 12.8, so I got a long way to go.  Do you have any pics or videos of your truck?

I think the NBS guys are using Rancho 9000 shocks, but that may just be in the front I'm not sure.  I'll read around more and let you know.

NBS = New Body Style...as in newer chevy trucks.  I think OBS(old body style) is 89-98, NBS is 99-06, NNBS(NewNewBodyStyle) is 07+.  I learned that on some other forum....took me a while to catch on.

Team, Does that make us the OOBS guys? What would it make the ones BEFORE that? Would you put a "B" in front of... ;D Oh I guess that would be the OOOBS guys. I talked with a fellow (Internet) who is using Rancho 9000 on the back of his OOBS truck & is happy with them also. Lorne
