CaliChevyV8 Posted January 11, 2008 Report Posted January 11, 2008 I'm gettin sick of the ride on my 20's, thinkin about buyin some NBS stock 18's. Anyone have any pics of these on a old body style truck? Quote
kelleyperformance Posted January 11, 2008 Report Posted January 11, 2008 have you ever ridden in a 4x4 vmax with 18s? i think your just feeling the wonderful torsion bar ride qaulity Quote
CaliChevyV8 Posted January 11, 2008 Author Report Posted January 11, 2008 The extra sidewall will still help though. Is there anything else I can do?? Quote
[email protected] Posted January 11, 2008 Report Posted January 11, 2008 The extra sidewall will still help though. Is there anything else I can do?? check tire pressure Quote
CaliChevyV8 Posted January 11, 2008 Author Report Posted January 11, 2008 It's more than just tire pressure. Quote
kelleyperformance Posted January 11, 2008 Report Posted January 11, 2008 well tire pressure does have alot to do with it.... and that tire is a 55 series sidewall, its not small. yes, the 18s will be different, but not near what your looking for. getting the front end off the jouncers makes a HUGE difference in ride, as well as putting a better shock on.

CaliChevyV8 Posted January 11, 2008 Author Report Posted January 11, 2008 I'm sayin my issue isn't with the pressure though, I've had them from the 30's to the 50's PSI wise. What kind of shocks? And what are jouncers? Quote

And what are jouncers? Bilstein shocks, Hankg42 just had them installed on his SSS and the ride was nicely improved. Quote
2006SilverSS Posted January 14, 2008 Report Posted January 14, 2008 The Bilstein's are nice, I've had them on for a while now and am pleased with them. I'm not sure what kind of ride quality you are looking for, but you've got to remember that you do own a truck and it will never be real smooth. Quote
orion :: SS Posted January 14, 2008 Report Posted January 14, 2008 ^^^ Agreed...try new shocks. I really like my Bilsteins...they are firmer, but the ride is better. Sounds contradictory...but it's better than stock, in every way. - Brian Quote
CaliChevyV8 Posted January 14, 2008 Author Report Posted January 14, 2008 Well I got those wheels and tires and put them on and its a big difference! I'm happy. My black 20's even though they look much better will be for sale with the Brand New Toyo Proxes. Quote
CaliChevyV8 Posted January 15, 2008 Author Report Posted January 15, 2008 Heres some pics. They'll look better when I black them out. Quote
CaliChevyV8 Posted January 16, 2008 Author Report Posted January 16, 2008 Some people have said that the NNBS wheels have too much backspacing, here are some side shots. I don't think its bad. Quote
