    Heavy Towing questions

    So I have a 99 K1500 Suburban with the 5.7, 4L60E, and 3.73 gears (no G80). I've put some 32x11.5R15 tires on it, cranked up the torsion bars just a touch to clear the tires (the still rub on occasion on the front valance) and added an add-a-leaf to the back. Also replaced all 4 shocks and...

    New 99 'Burb

    So I already have a 96 C1500 with just about everything I wanted to do to it done. But it is a 2WD. Now I purchased a 99 Suburban K1500. So I am pretty new to the 4WD setup in the front. The truck is in pretty good shape, especially the engine. But the shocks are gone on it so they need...

    Offroad GMT400 ideas?

    Ok, so putting your personal feelings aside for your own truck, if you were to buy a GMT400 SUV 4x4 purely for some light to medium offroading, what would you buy to start with? Tahoe, Suburban, Yukon, etc. (1500, 2500, did they make these in a 3500?) What engine/trans combo? I love my...

    OBS hitch for sale

    This was the hitch that came installed on my truck when I bought it. Looks like it was barely, if ever used, but could be as old as my 96. It's upside down in the photo. Came on my 96 1500, would probably fit any OBS 1500/2500LD (I think the 2500HD/3500 would be the same as my current hitch...

    Anyone broke a rod or blown up a stock L31?

    So has anyone destroyed a stock L31 (5.7L Vortec)? Such as a broken rod or something else? If so, do you know how much power you were running? Boosted or N2O? How much PSI or shot? Just wondering how far you can go before something gives and what gives first. Thanks

    Looking for HD Class 4/5 Hitch (for 3" BL?)

    I'm looking for a new hitch for my 96 C1500. Anyone have any suggestions on brand/model? Looking for a Class 4 or 5 (2"). Anything that looks better with a 3" Body lift? Price isn't too big a deal for me.

    Post your custom bumpers

    Looking for some ideas for front and rear bumpers. Something custom, steel, off road capable. Pre-runner style possibly, winch, etc. I don't think anyone still makes them for OBS trucks? Do they? Especially looking for some looks on trucks lifted 4"+ with a 2-3" body lift as well.
