We recently had an issue with my wife's daily driver, so we needed something to replace it. My 86 Suburban is nice but it didn't have the safety features that I would like for my family, so I happened to be on Craigslist (surprise surprise) and I noticed a decent looking GMT800 Suburban at a decent price. I went and looked at it and it wasn't too bad. I offered $500 less than asking (an already low price) and he said something in between and I said I would think about it. The next day I get the call that he's ok with my first offer and here we are.
It's a 2001 Suburban 2500 with the 6.0/4L80E combo with 163k miles. Interior is in decent shape and only some typical leaks under it, but nothing terrible. My plans are simple; a reliable, mild family adventure vehicle. Like everything I work on, it can escalate but right now I want to keep it at a near stock level.
First "mod" I've done is install 285/75R16 Falken Wildpeak AT3Ws. I love my Falken Wildpeak MTs on the squarebody but I wanted something less aggressive with a mileage warranty. At $167 each from Walmart, I'm happy so far with the 200 miles I've put on them. Ill probably buy these for my Sierra when I'm done with the Cooper ATPs (which suck).
Here's how it sits when I bought it. I've since installed the tires and cranked the keys for ~1.25" lift. There was minimal rubbing at stock height. I may do the RC 3" lift since it's cheap and would level the truck. I don't hate how it rides now, I more dislike how low it sits.
