New guy and my 90 Suburban ZAV build

[LIVEanimals]

Thanks for the positive feedback guys

Have you had a chance to use the Pro Comp lights yet? I was looking at the same set and have not found a good review on them.

I use them all the time, to me they're are an awesome light especially for $35 ea. The round ones I had before were way brighter, but these 5x7 work just fine.

I'm looking to buy the rest of what I need to finish my lift kit. I need shocks and a steering stabilizer. I hear Bilsteins are the way to go. How do I go about getting the right ones for my lift and vehicle. My burb has factory quad shocks in the front, should I retain that feature or just put singles up front if I go with Bilstein.

Nice, wish I could find a pair of Warn classic bumpers or better yet the Ramsey bumpers. Nice work on your templates!

haha I'm not any more, they were free that was the only thing appealing about them

Hmmm never seen the Ramseys. Did Warn make rear bumpers for these Squares too?

Final fit for the bumper, $3 paint job. Now I need a winch. I also put my shocks and steering stabilizer in my "Cart" at SummitRacing.com but haven't pulled the trigger yet.

Non truck related, this is all I did last night at work. It was a good Friday!

I have an '88 V20. Keep the quad shocks. Install the ORD brace sooner rather than later, if your frame cracks you will be hating the repair.

This pic is from before the new rear springs.

Nice looking:Wow1:´Burb´ you got there Live! I like the new bumper and other mods. As for shocks, Bilstein is the way to go. Keep posting LOTS OF PICS and let us follow your build. Also, but a little off topic, how much does the frame reinforcement for the steering box cost?:ylsmoke:

I've been looking for a suburban for a couple of years for a Cummins swap. I found this one with 32,000 original miles and is almost perfect. Its the same colors as yours but it has the 6.2 diesel engine. Hopefully my project will begin soon. Nice ride!

$130, money well spent IMO, and it is pretty easy to install. Link:

Ditch the dual front shocks. Mine rides better without them. Love the interior pic, makes want to get my burban back out and on the road.

Nice find! I'm jealous! Where did you find such a low mileage diesel suburban?

Beautiful Suburban, Kameron! You don't see 'em in that kind of shape anymore.

What are you thinking of for a winch?
