    SubSar's "03 Suburban Build

    Has anyone out there looked into suspension lifts by with Race Car Dynamics or BDS? They seem better made than the more popular Rough Country lifts. They have kits available for the 1500 and 2500 Suburban's. http://racecardynamics.com/3-suspension https://bds-suspension.com/

    SubSar's "03 Suburban Build

    I have a 2002 Avalanche 2500, which is basically the same body. I'm hoping to make it more self-supporting for trips to Mexico and eventually Central America.

    Thoughts on the Chevy Avalanche

    Console in the truck which will be modified for the Scheel Mann seats, off-road lights and the Yaesu FTM 400 which I have. At present I have the Painless Wiring dual battery install, it will be removed in favor of RedArc. That will allow me to eventually use solar panels.

    Thoughts on the Chevy Avalanche

    I just found this thread again as I'm looking for build ideas for my 2500. Right now, I'm buying parts to rebuilding the steering and suspension. Eventually, it's my hope to use this for foreign travel as I use my Jeep now. Feel free to chime in with ideas or questions.

    Thoughts on the Chevy Avalanche

    I have a 2002 Avalanche 2500 that I want to use for overlanding. I've read Chris Cordes article. Has anyone else out there done this? I think the only disadvantage would be fuel mileage. The parts on the 2500 are heavy duty, plenty of room for sleeping and carrying equipment. Anyone?
