If you are keeping the truck or more than a year or two or go places where failure is $$ or "not a fun time"- just buy the Kyptonite parts. You don't need the straight center link but I would do- all the rest of them (and have done on my 1500 - and actually even did it on my street driven 3500...

A Hey! hmm, I'm not sure. I would assume it would be very close, but I bet you would run into interfence with the steering center link.... It looks like the design of the kit is almost identical to the 6". In fact according to the instruction sheet- the dropbrackets are the same part number...

Always reccomend searching the username on google for other forums too. If you search mcalvin318 on google many other scams on other forums come up. Sorry for you loss.

No going back now..... Most of the parts are painted. "Just" need to clean up the frame a little more, weld on the frame plates and coilover towers. I'm also going to reinforce the control arm stock mounts. After that it should be bolt-on... I'll also need to add the reinforcements to the...

Had a break from school a few weekends ago and sat down and took 10,000 measurements on the truck and recreated drop brackets in fusion... then I thought for a minute... Mine as well try something before getting all these pieces laser cut That Monday i called RC up and they were able to send...

SAS!! Awesome stuff. If you get that dodge axle in a 4.09 for the front- most of the GM 14 bolt SF's are 4.10's and you can find them for not too expensive + bolt in for the rear. That would be a sweet setup!

Yep- super easy to get 33's- which will get you to many secluded spots. For some great pictures on what I believe are 33's and similar setup to what we are discussing check out Dirtdobber's truck: https://expeditionportal.com/forum/threads/dirtdobbers-03-suburban-1500.203062/post-2843963 Here's...

If I could get away with a duramax in Burb One in CA, without big bucks- that would be the ticket. I have a 3500 LLY for towing and love it, diesel power is sure addicting. I'll probably end up swapping in a 6.0 sooner or later. My 5.3 now has 240,000 miles and while definitely is down in...

Hey Drei- would you mind taking and posting pictures of the bp tubular add-ons? Curious how they were designed/what they protected. I'm thinking of adding some skidplates for the gas tank, etc when the truck is under the knife for front suspension next week.

All ready for paint!!! (Not really- but majority of the work is done other than fulling welding the bushings which may need some edits based on mockup on the truck) I've been debating on taking out the lift in the front- since the long travel kit theoretically should add 3-4 inches. However...

@fl0w3n Mixed bag. If goal is for something like burb two and three, 1500 is still the right call. Coil 4 link rear, boxed frame and easy conversion to coilovers in front and bolt in conversion to 14bolt 2500 diffs. For the $ and time input hard to beat and I think is the way to go if...

Front end is starting to get serious...

I went from stock to 2 inch key and coil spacer lift w/ 33's (barely any rubbing only at full lock flexed in the front). You can do a lot with this setup and some decent shocks- I reccomend bilstein 5100's. All in you can be $300+ tires and get most places. Just watch your cv angles when you...

Woo! Great to see other Burbs! I'd skip the body lift, if doing the lift kit. You won't need it for 33's Search around here, there's a few of us with different takes/ directions on making these things work off road (spoiler: they are awesome for taking a ton of stuff and people most anywhere!)

Love the interior, but $19k..? LOL

@Bama67 100% agree. My favorite tire I've ever had on the truck. They are at least good at all conditions, which is rare for a tire to be able to do. It's not the best mud tire, not the best snow tire, not the best rain tire, but damn it if isn't at least competent at it all. They also seem to...

Rear suspension is all but done, time to start on the front....

Well rear suspension definitely works. It's miles above what the QA1 coilovers can handle in the front, so testing was limited. Also need to adjust ride height a little bit when fully loaded, and take 75-100 psi out of the bump stops but holy cr*p it feels so composed at high speeds. Really is...

ARB air locker prepped and ready to go in... Just need a break from school and work to install this weekend! (Also note the nicely coated brake calipers!

Wow- thanks for being here-it really is telling when a company supports their products and also goes out of the way to be on forums and talk to potential users. We put your axle less suspension on one of my good friends' home built trailers and loves it (trailer picture below) BurbTwo is also...
