Re: Got the tires and wheels on
Mind telling me about the lift? You like the ride? What's it like (smooth/stiff)? I was going to do a 2.5" lift to the Suburban and get 33's - exactly like what you have. Was even thinking of going up to 17" wheels, so thanks for the pics!!!

Re: Got the tires and wheels on
Yeah I like the lift and the ride is better then before thats for sure, I think if I had gotten the rear springs instead of just the blocks it would be even better but I went cheap on that part..lol
I read either SkyJacker soft ride or Tuff Country easy ride is the way to go on the 2.5" lifts on these trucks. I no the ride before was choppy but Iam sure the stock springs were just done being 44yrs old and all. Main reason I went to 17s is because they will fit my 2006 Z71 as well so I could swap them around if need be.

Re: Got the tires and wheels on
Looks real good, I think you made a great choice with 2.5" springs and 33" tires. (I'm kinda a fan of those specs) Do you know who makes the shocks for Skyjacker?

Re: Got the tires and wheels on
Thanks, yeah I wanted it up higher but nothing to high thought about a 4" lift but just did not want to go that tall. Afraid if you get to big it makes it hard to use as a truck anymore.
I could not guess who really makes the shocks did not even think about it really. Posted via Mobile Device |

Re: Got the tires and wheels on
Both of your trucks look sharp! The new shoes on the blue truck are a HUGE step up from what you had on it before! Looks great!

Re: Got the tires and wheels on
Looks real nice. I'm not usually a fan of the big rims on 4x4, but yours look right on there. Course when you think about it 17's aren't a heck of a lot bigger than the 16.5's I was running on my K20 =)
