I am at a crossroads... either buy a new truck or try to modify mine to do what I want. I am looking into the 2500 suburban/yukon XL or a fullsize 4x4 van (any of the conversions at this point)for a cross country go anywhere truck to bring the family along. What I can't decide is if the 2001 1500 suburban I have now will handle the "rougher" roads (Easier trails) with a lift,lockers, and better tires... Bumpers and winches are not of any issue right now that will be way down the road. I do not really see many on this sight... are the axles too weak? or is it just not cost effective to try to get the extra ground clearance needed in some rougher areas (fwanting to run 35's for the trips and 32-33's daily)? At this point I really don't know which way to go... Would love to build a soilid axle 80's to 90's 2500 suburban to travel in but really actually like the 1500 I have now.... Any pics or ideas would be great....
