Shouldn't bee to bad equivalent of trucks that came stock with 3.73s and 265sNow thats how you dumb it down for someone like me! Any idea on how bad mpg would suffer with 4.10s on 285s. Might be my next performance gain

Ok, read all 47 pages, and didn't see exactly what I was looking for.
My Suburban is used primarily for hauling our RV and other misc stuff. My folks used to have a F350 dually, and I like the added lateral stability they provide. I would like to do a dually conversion on the Suburban, and convert the rear brakes to disk brakes at the same time. It looks like I will need an ABS unit and MC from a newer truck, and a 2WD rear axle, but I'm not exactly certain which parts I should really be looking for.
I'm thinking I'll probably do this next year. I have an in with a salvage yard that takes in older vehicles, so I can get him to keep an eye out as things come in once I know.
TIA

is your sub 2wd? They did make dually subs so looking into those couldn't hurt
There's a company called Arrowcraft that used to do alot of conversions, they're still out there, so they may have some info for you. I know they used to offer Suburban fenders, http://www.arrowcraft.com/index.php
Stock dually have adaptors on the front. The only factory 400 that ik of that had discs on the rear was the C3500HD and those axles are not wide enough I don't think.Yes it's a 2WD. I was thinking that I could take a dually axle from a C3500 truck, but wasn't sure if there was one with disk brakes already that would work (I thought all GMT400 duallys had drums?). Also I think I've read somewhere that I need to change something on the front too from a donor truck.
I've seen these, and have wondered if the adapters put extra strain on the hubs? It's probably the engineer in me over analyzing things...
