Hey guys,
Like the title says, I'm new. I just bought an 06 silverado crew cab z71 5.3. I traded in my 02 Sonoma and I couldn't be happier!!! Looking forward to learning a lot about my new truck through this site. - Chad

Hi Chad. I traded in an 02 S-10 Crew Cab for my 2011 LTZ Silverado. I couldn't be happier. It took some getting used at first with it being a bigger vehicle when parking but, as they say, once you go full-size, you never go back :).

Only thing you'll miss is your money at the pump. But totally worth it. :D

Thanks everyone. Yeah, It is a little more of a pain to park but usually I'm out in the back of the lot anyway so it's usually not a tight squeeze. The gas isn't to much of a bother to me. I bought the truck ready and willing to pay up so I just live with it. Hope fully i'll figure out some add ons to get a few more mpg but i'm not gonna sweat it to much. I do have a question though......I hate the stinkbug stance that my truck has... what is the best way to go about raising the front to match the back stock height? Thanks in advance....
