Can't believe I didn't update this thread, sorry guys. Here are the pictures of the lift, plus 285/70R/17 Falken Wildpeaks. Rides great, but it does rub when turning at slow speeds.

Thanks to some folks on this site, I just dropped the money on a coilover kit. American Express loves me this month...

Atomic Fab and Performance makes a coil over conversion. Would that get me to 32-33" tires? I'm sure the ride will be a ton better. https://atomicfabandperformance.com/product/99-06-torsion-bar-coilover-package/

That's another great point. I'm not sure I want to put the stress of 35s on the rear end. I think 33s should be sufficient, and I can get that with a level kit.

Plans: Stage 1 (Now to November) Fix the issues I got this Suburban for a song and a dance, but it isn't without its issues. I had to replace the belts, output shaft seal, tail shaft seal, replace the steering gear, flush the PS fluid, and replace the wheel bearing. There was a misfire and CEL...

I recently moved to the Midwest from the east coast, and we're going to use this as an excuse to explore this part of the country. We've already gone out to South Dakota (absolutely amazing state!), and we're going to start exploring CO and UT later this month. Unfortunately the Suburban won't...

I've been slacking... a lot. I haven't touched this truck until this weekend. I do feel back about that. But all that has changed. . I was originally going to rebuild the engine, but with Summit Racing selling a new crate engine for $1550 shipped to my door, I couldn't pass that up.. I...

Look up rock and roll beds and see if that works for you.

The parts have started coming in. Still need to get the cooling system thought out. Not sure if I'm going to upgrade it all, or stick with OEM stuff. . Should be starting this weekend getting the fluids drained and everything prepped. . The exciting part is, my kids are going to be helping me...

Before I pull the trigger on these parts, I'll run these by you guys. I still need recommendations on a distributor, radiator, water pump, oil pump, fuel pump and carb (I think I'll just replace the one that is in there). Gasket set...

Was thinking about something like this. http://www.rockauto.com/en/moreinfo.php?pk=2185170&cc=2792&jsn=675

Thanks for the reply Rayra. You've given me a lot to look in to. Also thanks for the LMC Truck link. I've just ordered their catalog! So far what I want to do it... All fluids Oil Filter Fuel Filter/pump Air filter Spark plugs/wires Distributor PS Pump Water Pump Radiator and hoses...

Is it more geared (rimshot) toward technical 4 wheeling? Any use for it as an expo vehicle compared to a standard 4 speed?

On Saturday I brought home a 1983 Suburban K20, which I got for a song and a dance. It’s not perfect, but I think it can end up being the perfect vehicle for my family and I. I’ve been searching for an older Suburban for a while, and I had a few things on my wish list. 1) Manual locks and...

That's where I'm leaning. Plus, the suspension mods seem like the poor man's mods instead of going with a full kit. Any thoughts on that?
