i'm not too sure about this but, did the zq8 come with a stiffer frame than a regular s10, or is it exactly the same frame?

and does the zq8 come with a thicker front swaybar?

thanks.

Z Q 8....................!

No I dont beleive a ZQ8 had a different frame.........!
I remember in magazine article they were gonna ad the ZQ8 Componets to a NON ZQ8 truck...!
The ZQ8 was just a specific set of componets
No Special frame included............!
:thumbup:

Are you sure? I thought the ZQ8 package was part of the Xtreme package.

 

[joe_villa]

the zq8 is a part of the xtreme package. you cant get an xtreme with the regular hieght.

they have the same frame.. but the zq8's have a frame stiffiner[sp] mounted under the bed rite behind the cab... thats the only difference in the stiffness besides the swaybars i believe...

Hey guys,
I have a 97 2wd standard cab not lowered. I'm looking at getting a set of replica ZQ8 Wheels from a caompany called "Wheels and Caps". They sell them on e-Bay without the center caps and they also have a regular web site www.wheelsandcaps.com.

What I was need to know is this. Has anyone ever heard of these guys and are they ok? They said that the Wheels were manufactured in China and meet all GM and DOT standards. They said that they have not had any customer or quality issues with these wheels. My second question is will these fit my stock supension with a set of 255/65 r16 tires or will I have to go with a 255/55 r16?

Thanks,
M
