Bsk, I built a couple of "choices" last year for solar. I first started with a second battery in my truck. While I find it fun to piddle with the solar when camping, having a single battery and a fridge would tend to stress me out, as well. The second battery in my truck and the batteries in...

Rayra, Thanks, and that would easy if I had conventional bumper. I have a cladded Avalanche, so things into my front and rear bumper need serious consideration. The cladding is near impossible to find to fix goofs, and the lines of the cladding make mods a bit tricky to not look like heck...

I agree, great to see everything in one thread. I am jealous that you have a place to attach your awning, on your rig. I completed an awning for my new trailer, using awning track and the sew on tubing, from Sailrite. I also picked up a few poles from them, and they are very nice and stout...

David, Big yup, there is almost too much good information on this site. I try and click on as many threads as time allows, even when the Title may seem unrelated, as you can find real nuggets in almost any long thread. I too dig the electrical stuff, and after my dual battery upgrade, jumped...

Just to add a few experiences. I got a low coolant idiot light, first time I took my '02 Av (same basic rig as op) off road. Turns out when you fill the tank per the manual, a steep camber can set off the warning. I now overfill just a tad, and have not seen the warning again. And I agree...

Boll, You are very welcome. We have a couple of different threads where the 2002ish springs for the AV and Suburban have been discussed. Figured Stryder's thread was the best place to add additional info. I had my rig out last weekend on a combination of windy mountain road asphalt, 6 miles...

I can see it with Chrome. Craig

Well, your pictures are hard on me, anyway ;^) Yes, so far so good, and I am going to get what I need, no squat. And more importantly, no squish with a trailer tongue, and the issues of that when actually rolling down the road with wind, dips etc. Craig

All, I installed the Hummer Eibach springs that Stryder noted above, on my 2002 Avalanche, and very happy so far. Only a few pavement tests on asphalt with lots of speed bumps, and a short jaunt down a local four wheel drive road, thus far. I made some measurements on my existing Z71 springs...

Stryder, Not seeing them in Chrome or IE, even when I click on them. Getting "Invalid Attachment" from the EP server. I did order the springs on Saturday. Hoping to have them by the weekend. Would have been nice to haul my new trailer camping, but my springs are so worn ( I think) that the...

FYI, not seeing attachments from my pc. Craig

Thanks a lot for the update. I have the contact email from Stutmaster with parts, all ready to order. I hope they can get them to me before next weekend. I am probably going to need new shocks, but hope that the Rancho 9000's I put in last year will work better, with stiffer springs. Craig

Yes, those look good. Nice to see mod's that are done right. I sure made my share of mistakes early on with my Jeep, adding the latest "gotta have". Took more than a few years and dumb decisions to figure things out. Any luck with the new springs? I cannot see red in the pictures ;^) Here...

No, yours is half nekkid up front, mine is fully clothed ;^) My problem is that I live in the middle of no where, and I do not weld. I would love to have someone work with me on my front end, even cutting into the cladding, but I am kinda dead ended. I love the cladding, and have put it to...

Stryder, Thanks again. I have a call into strutmaster right now for a call back to discuss their options and pricing. It's a little hard to see what kind of options I have on their web page, as when I use 02 Avalanche, only a couple of parts come up. I saw the sway bars when I was fiddling...

T'm going to do anything that elaborate. I am in the process of getting my rear hitch fine tuned for my trailer, and might just go with a simple "slide" on the bottom of my hitch. I have a slide in my front hitch, that I install when the receiver is not being used. The front hitch and slide...

Stryder, Thank you for the info. I'll give them a call tomorrow to chat. What has me curious is that Eibach appears to cater to performance, and what looks like lowering and full design for more "sporty" handling. I am looking for load/weight control with my loading and trailering. When I...

Bit of an old school tag. I did the trailer plug mod on Avalanche last year, and did the replacement receiver at the same time. I went with a replacement plug, which has the 7 pin and 4 pin. Very happy with having things up a bit. But, whether I am trailer or not, I run something in my rear...

Stryder, Any chance you can give more info on those Eibach springs? I also have an 02 that I need new rear springs. I have the GM part numbers for the Hummer GM springs, but would like to take a serious look at those Eibach's you posted. Thanks, Craig

I am using a "hitch haul motorcycle carrier". Google will give you lots of images. you seem to be asking for something more permanent, but this hauler can give you ideas. I actually have two. One is sort of permanently sitting on the tongue of my offroad trailer. Thoughts in general. I...
