the nbs longbeds look so good lifted. and that flare on the bed really makes the bed look not so long. nice offset.

Thanks. How happy are you with the edge/attitude. This is my first diesel and I'm unsure of which progammer; Edge, PPE, or Banks. Any input or advise?

so far so good on the edge/attitude. i did go through the overheating problems couple years ago, but edge replaced for free. good customer service on their part. every once in a while it will have a hick-up, but nothing major. i dont have any advice on the newer motors other than do a lot of reading and searching.

The nbs trucks are still growing on me when stock but put a decent set of tires(read BIGGER THAN THE POS STOCKERS) and even just a leveling kit and those things look awsome. I almost wish that I had waited and bought one instead of my classic. But then I remember that i don't have to worry with a DPF but great looking truck all the same.

I think thats the first LMM that i have really liked how it looks, she looks really nice.

As for the programmer, a lot of people on here like the PPE, but i think all the ones you listed are pretty good

Nice truck! I usually don't like long beds. But with the navy blue color and the lift, it looks really nice. Good Job!

Yea, 22+' bumper to bumper. And I'm considering getting a winch bumper once I see one that I like.

Im getting ready to replace my truck in the spring . hows the turning radius on that big boy i really want 4 doors because the kids are getting bigger and i could use the exta lenth in the bed but i need to plow snow so not sure if its the combo for me what do you guys think?

It takes a bit to get used to, but cares about curbs anyways:D . And with a heavy right foot the backend will come around. But seriously, there are more three point turns that I care to admit. All in all, I really do love this truck.

I find it much easier to back into parking spaces now, lovin' the tow mirrors GM.

Nice looking truck though, I like the color but I really like the longbed.

It took me a long time to decide on the right lift, tire & wheel package. I'm really happy with it. Now that the suspension is done, it is time for more power. I'm interrested in feedback for intake, exhaust, programming. Then on to sound system and winch bumper. It sure is fun having a new toy:D

So I assume you live in Albuquerque since those sure do like the Sandia's in the background. Who setup your truck...someone local or DIY??

Nice looking truck too!:)

Great looking truck. I love the blue, I'm in the same boat your were with trying to decide how high, what tires and rims. I was going to go with a 4" lift but the more I look the more I'm liking the 6 How's your ride compared to stock?

Little bear, Good eye. Yep I live in Albuquerque, I had Accessories Unlimited install the lift and gears. Great work lousy prices, tried to gouge me an extra grand, but I got it back.
Tallone, The ride is much better, especially since those rock hard skinny tires are gone.
