2004 suburban build

[jonb8]

Thanks Dirtdobber... were's the pics of yours lifted?

Jonb8 I posted one on build but its not a real good one. Im going to wait on tires until my cooper at3 need replaced so I'll be running the 265 for a while.

Rear coils on, alignment done and new tires mounted... Drives like a new one....

Looks great, I see you went with the Falken Wildpeak's as well. 285's I assume?

I think the Wildpeak is becoming the "Scotsman's BFG AT KO!"

Right on, I was ready for tires that's what I was waiting on to lift it..... I'm just lazy and kept putting it off till it was state inspection time...

 

[jonb8]

Yep 285's, thanks... I did a lot of research on these tires and couldn't find anything or anyone saying bad things about them... I just took off BFG mud terrrains and hated them, but I have BFG KM2's on my xj and love those....

If you get a little sag after its loaded get the 3/4 inch polyurethane spacer in the rear, there $30 and it makes that little bit of difference with the load. Looking good.

Well the WV rust has taken it's toll on my rockers, so I'm working on 2x5 box tubing replacements.. I do this a lot on jeep cherokee's to fix rocker rust and to double as a slider.

 

[jonb8]

Here's the same concept I do with the xj's.

 

[Mekcanix]

So I have a question is that a solid rectangular tube or have you cut into a odd shapped C or U channel
I did the 2x5x1/4 tube for my rockers on my XJ as well, never thought of it for my GMC. Now you have me thinking

 

[jonb8]

No just like your xj, that's just the shadows in my garage. I'm just in mock up stage working on a way to support the rear..

 

[Overlandtowater]

I thought the same, Im luck though as I only have 2 small spots of rust but if I was in your situation it would be built in sliders for me too!

Thats some solid looking square tubing ya got there Jon. I look forward to seeing the finished product. Cheers, Chilli...?

 

[jonb8]

Thanks chilliwak, love your old square body build.... I was on the fence of building a box for the back of a jeep comanche I have in the back yard....
