Hello! New member, Oklahoma
Hello - I just took delivery of my new Silverado a few days ago. 10 years ago I had a S-10 ZR2 and loved it. I should have never sold it. Now, I went full tilt on the new truck. It is a Blue Granite LTZ 4x4 ext cab with NAV. I don't plan on taking it off road that much, but, like the opportunity if needed. I got it with 3.42 gearing...so pulling won't be a problem in the future. It has the Z71 off road package. The ride is very stiff (way too stiff)...I need some help with picking some softer shocks...any suggestions? I am active duty Air Force with 19 years in. Thank you. - Chris (Moore, OK)

Thanks. This is a great forum. I already got a response on my other thread for softer shocks advice. I just had the windows tinted and tires "flopped" around (the white lettering is on the inside now). They spin balanced after flopping and everything is zeroed out and true now. I will try and figure out how to post a picture on this forum.

I know this is an old post, but if you would have gotten the diesel you wouldn't need that rear gear.
I got 3:73 in ours for better mileage and pull a 32 1/2 fifth wheel with it, no problem.
We are from Choctaw, just up the road from you.
Not that much mudding going on at Draper Lake any longer.
I never did it anyway.
Thanks for your service,
Lee
