04 Suburban 2500 build

[Suburban1500]

Got it back together. I ordered tow mirrors, so the stock ones wont stay. Painted the grill although it didnt adhere properly, i'll probaly get a non chrome one and start over. Painted the roof rack a non textured flat black.

I've used the Raptor Liner product many times. Good stuff as long as you get your prep work up to *****.

Got the tow mirrors in. They are from DNA Motoring. They seem well built. I did not want to spend 400+ on Boost Auto, so this was the next best alternative.

Not many updates, just dailying and enjoying the truck till the lift gets in, which should be in the next 2 weeks. I went ahead and brought wheels for it.

I also tried to buy the 41" Iroks, but i could not find any in stock anywhere...limited quantity remaining, back ordered, sold out. FML. Tires seem to be the next best thing that is going through a shortage i guess.
Found some 41.5" PitBull tires which i'll be picking up on Thursday..
Did make a trip upstate this weekend to enjoy the cooler weather.

Went and picked up the tires today. Was a whole day's trip. So glad I didnt bring the Burb to get them. With my sub box, they would not have fit inside.

Haha! I think I might need to even re-gear the diff. We'll see how she is on the road.

What gears do you have? I think these were only offered in 3.73 and 4.10?

What would you regear to, 4.56?

BTW, I wouldn't worry too much about the transmission...

Pretty sure I have the 3:73 I'd have to check the RPO codes to confirm.
Lift FINALLY shipped, so I will get to work on installing once it gets here

Well, it's here! Was dropped off while I was at work today. Got sent this.

Unboxed it, looks like it's all here, and wrapped up very well. I already unwrapped some of it. Very beefy for sure, and HEAVY.

Got the front end up on jackstands, and supported the front end just behind the front bumper with my jack. if I have to move the jack, I am going to place some tires under there for a piece of mind.

That's all for tonight. I have work in the morning, until 12.. After that, the tear down begins!
