1996 K2500 Suburban—Green and red AKA Christmas Tree

[Christmastree Burb]

1996 K2500 Suburban SLT
454
2” lift (keys in front, blocks in the rear)
KYB Monomax shocks
285-75-16 Open Range tires from Les Schwab
Bumper mounted tire swing from SubOverland
Replaced the rag joint steering shaft with a U-joint steering shaft from Cunningham machine. Heavy duty tie-rods with Cunningham machine tie-rod connectors.

I’ve had this since 2012–it’s been the family car, then the recreational extra car, now back to daily driver that I also want to use for over landing. Learning as I go. Great fun!

Is the Cunningham Machine lower steering shaft for 95+ really just a bolt in and go part? No Fab?

Yeah, it just bolts in—made specifically for the GMT400.

Their website states that slight mods will need to be made if you have the Dorman upper. My Cunningham lower shaft should arrive on Friday and I do have the Dorman upper....we'll see how it goes! 98' K1500
