Shouldn't be anything different in the area you would be working in. Only different size rear-ends, 7.6 or 8.5, even still, that shouldn't change what you are doing.

If your buddies is a 2000 extreme, that would be same as mine, mine is a ZQ8, which is same suspension on extreme. Mine is a regular cab.

they both do basically the same thing for trucks. keep the spring from wrapping up and unloading the tires. they also keep the pinion angle in check. cal-tracs was the answer for me because of tunability.

if you dont have the right tires both setups are useless.
