Default Traded in my Tahoe

So yesterday I signed papers on a newer truck. I got tired of needing a bed and either having the rear roof to deal with or not wanting to mess up the carpet so I traded it in. It also needed a good amount of maintenence that was due and I just didn't feel like doing it. I think that I need to tighten the torsion bar slightly to get the front end up a little but I like the height of it.

I picked up an '06 GMC Z71 Crew Cab from Strickland Chevrolet. It came with some 20's on it and Nitto Grappler tires 305 50 R20's .

THanks, I like that '70 that you have in your pic. When I was 14, I bought a '69 fastback in the same color. Never got it running and gave it away to a friend. I wish I could get it back now.

Thanks, I have had that car since I was 16 (i am 30 now), restored it twice, working on the third and final time...

Anyways how does that truck ride compared to the tahoe? I will be in the market for a CC Z71 in 2 years!!

Yea not really my style either. I think that they are a little to "fat" in the centers. I will be looking for some new ones when the tires need replacing.
