Thanks! All three truck's running gear are exactly the same (the first post in this thread is kept pretty close to up to date- or at least i try). BurbThree just has an ARB locker (vs 1 and 2's G80) and some bilstein rear shocks. The only real differences will be some personal preferences for...

They are holding up great! BurbOne is on the 650's BurbTwo and BurbThree are on the 700. The 650s are the best off road, but my truck definitely feels a little floaty on the road compared to theirs. I think 700 is the sweet spot. I will move to 700's eventually. There are 14x2.5x700 springs on...

Photo didn't insert correctly above. Love this picture. You cna see the CV (or lack of) angle. BurbOne and BurbTwo in camp, with my buddies homebrew off road trailer pulled by his FJ

Burb 3 is now sitting pretty- coilovers, 6 inch lift, 14 bolt rear end, 2500 front end, Spohn rear end, 35's and some other goodies, including an ARB locker. Should be fun to test that out. Going to be doing bumpers, sliders, armor, etc. for Burb Two and three in the coming weekends. Getting...

Hey Rayra! Don't think you'll have any problems with 2" spacers on stock or even 33" wheel sizes!

Thanks Drei! The Spohn setup in the rear is awesome. Been on my truck for a few years now, and other than some squeaking from the DelSphere, it's been nothing but awesome. At black Friday, the prices are pretty affordable as well, considering everything. Definitely allows some more than stock...

Hey All- So update. Please Welcome BurbThree It seems everyone who has anything bigger than a jeep who get a ride in the coilover burb off road has decided to go out and buy and make one. We also have MiniBurb Only done one or two trips the past few months. Not much to report. Unless the...

Haha. No worries. Yes, you will find the Gt4 3.73's around with G80 easy enough! If you plan on going 33's or 35's maybe worthwhile to upgrade to 4.10's, depending on how fast you want to get rid of your $ :) It's a lot more cost effective to buy the diff with them, and regear the front, than...

For ease of reference later on- copied form a response I did elsewhere. This is how to find a 14 bolt 9.5 that will bolt into a 1500 GMT800 with matching 6 lugs: Burbone's How to find a 14 bolt for a 2000- 2006 GMT-800 1500 6 lug with coil springs http://car-part.com/ 2007 GMC Yukon XL 1500...

With quite a few (it's GM after all...)exceptions, the main axles in latebody GM trucks are: 8.5/8.6 10 bolt- 5 lug SF (Blazer etc.) SF 8.5 10 bolt- 6 lug SF (1500 axle) 9.5 14 bolt -6 lug SF (2500/ heavy 1500 applications- silverado ss, yukon xl, escalade, etc., usually with coils) 10.5 14...

I have been loving my Wildpeak At3's. I had Wildpeak At2's before, liked them a bit more than BFG's and Grapplers. The new AT3 has blown me out of the water in mud. I never thought a tire could have such good road manners and still churn through mud like they do. They are more than decent in...

Hey, REAR- 02TahoeMD is right. It's pretty much plug and play for the REAR axle that fits. I'll try and find a link to a post I placed that helps you find the right axle in your area. Seem to go between 700-1200 for the rear. I used the opportunity to regear to 4.10's. Also, make sure to find...

Interesting! possibly.... You would still need the coil rear end lift kit pieces, but if you were able to buy those separately, or mismatch form the lift kit maker, I could see that being a thing. If the frame side is for 1500, and the running gear side are 2500, than there's no reason why...

Had some interest in my aux. gas tank I will take some pictures, but the install writeup is pretty simple. Also update the parts numbers below to more recent because some links died. I compiled the parts number below. I just took the dorman number if possible, just for posterity, but I know...

I've been partial to Timkens, but MOOG is great too!

Lookin good! Looks like some of the warnings have manifested themselves:) Glad you are moving on and fixing though! With the coilovers, you will start bangin' the UCA on the stop way too hard (probably because you'll be goin' a lot faster:) ) The coilovers are awesome though, best mod i have...

Thanks, Ya pretty much. I took off the bumper, slid the winch into the receiver as far back as it would go before hitting the grill , then built the bumper around it. Works perfect, probably as much overhang as if I had built the winch into the bumper, since its about as close to the radiator...

Here's a youtube video of us cruising on the trails at a pretty high rate of speed. Sorry for the shaky footage, we put it on his winch and it rattles a bit in the reciever. Also, knockoff gopro.... Also we are fully loaded for a few days of camping... Had to slowdown for him to catch up more...

Edit:I get the reference. It was a trail, turned creek, turned rut thing. LOL At this time of year, there is AT MINIMUM 2 feet of snow there. I have never, ever seen that little snow in Tahoe before (this was this past weekend). I'll say it again, the coil-over setup is the single best mod i...

Thanks Chilli:)
