I don’t have any shock measurements for you. I just want to compliment your “burb”, very nice. I wouldn’t mind seeing some more photos.

Hi and welcome. Nice Burb!

I also don't have the measurements you're looking for, but you may want to consult with and shop for your Bilsteins at Offroad Design https://www.offroaddesign.com/

Good luck,
Nick

If it is giving you a Security Token error message you will need to size the pictures down. I usually size them down to 1150 pixels wide and the board software should handle them from there.

Re: ‘71 k10

I received confirmation a while ago, but here’s a couple photos showing it in service as Rescue 7 and the email from the Fire Chief confirming it was one of their rigs. Then there’s the latest photo with 33s put on there.

Looks good!

I had a '69 Suburban that was an Oklahoma Fire/Rescue vehicle.

Re: ‘71 k10

Interesting that the entire burb is white like it came from the factory. It must have been ordered white and the exterior was then painted red leaving the top and rest the factory white. Looks great and seems like the kiddo enjoys it too.
