    2009 GMC Build Thread

    Well, this is a pretty sparse section of the forum, so I figured it was my duty to spice it up a bit.

    Ordered a 7" FTS lift last week with Cognito blocks and an add-a-leaf. Front is going to have Bilstein 7-9 adjustables set at 9". Haven't really decided on wheels yet but I think it's going to be 20x12 Moto Metal 962s. Going to keep my 295/55/20 Trail Grapplers that I have currently.

    I'll start compiling pictures as things come in from brown santa.


    Oh yeah, it's all going on this:

    Because I'm running x12s. I could fit 35s but I just got these tires and don't feel like spending another ~$1,400.

    Yup. That's what most people are running with 6"-9" lifts on NNBS trucks now-a-days, it's not like an NBS.

    That's an 18" FTS on an NBS truck, your argument is invalid.

    I'm going for the Cen Cal look. All set on stock running gear and 37s.

    One of my inspirations... 7" FTS on 20x12 Hostages and 33x13.5 Iroks.




    Same truck on 20x12 Weld Dunes and 33x12.5 Toyo's.
