    96 GMC K2500 Suburban Restoration (with a couple of mods)

    When I detailed professionally, I wouldn't remove the flares, but I would use an air compressor with an air nozzle to blow water out of crevices. If I had more time between projects I probably would have, but it would have come with a higher price tag for my services. I second removing them and...

    96 GMC K2500 Suburban Restoration (with a couple of mods)

    Welcome to the dark side! Jokes aside, I've looked through your entire thread before, this thing is clean. It would be a shame if you accidentally bought some Method Racing wheels for it, while also removing the wheel arch moldings. My truck had a different style and I removed them. IMO it looks...

    Front end alignment

    Pretty sure OP is talking about these. https://www.nfamusmetal.com/control-arms-1/ Now, the lower control arm does not adjust the camber or anything. They bolt in place. The uppers are CAM bolt style and really a pain in the ass to align professionally. As opposed to other suspension designs...

    Fuel tank Relocating

    You're wanting to do side exit exhaust out the step side aren't you. I don't have any options to offer other than what others have already mentioned. But if it were me, and I were wanting to relocate the fuel tank, I'd do a fuel cell in the rear like Matt has.

    OBS 4/6 drop on staggered 22 issues

    I agree with Sewlow. For a number of reasons aiming for the same total diameter with tires is simplest option. You'll also want to get mathematical here with how you want your truck to perform and appear. You need to know the backspacing and/or offset. You can relatively easily determine each by...

    OBS 4/6 drop on staggered 22 issues

    Not likely to bring the front up much. As the pivot point here is the center line of your wheels. Depending on where they are touching the fenders I wouldn't think it would change enough to keep from rubbing. Pictures would help us a lot here. Personally haven't lowered one of these trucks, but...

    1996 Tahoe Rear Suspension Opinions.

    I'll second this. I just did energy suspension on the front, and will be tackling the rear shortly. Before I aligned it, the truck was borderline dangerous to be driving. And the rear can very much feel like it is swaying about if the front alignment is off. I would look seriously at the rear...

    what is everything required to 6.0 swap my k1500

    I mostly lurk and only recently joined. So I don't have my build documented here. However, I just did a 5.3 in my 96 K1500. It's going to be nearly identical for a 6.0 as the blocks are the same except for bore and stroke as I recall. This is a pretty straightforward swap. I can't speak for the...
