300+ $$?? What condition were they in?

Same as yours, maybe slightly better but not much

 

[98chevyz71]

Do u plan on wiring those lights in the guard or getting differant ones ?

 

[Suburban1500]

If I can figure out how to wire them in and they work I'll use them. I would most likely want new ones though.

Alrighty. Figured out what I want to do with the tires/wheels.

-Super Swamper tires (correct dimensions to be determined after lift is installed)

-Mickey Thompson "classic" wheels. (correct dimensions to be determined once I figure out the tires)

As far as the lift kit, I went to an offroad shop and I was quoted at $3,650 for a 6" Superlift....and I do not want to wait to save up for that, so I need to look into lift I can have done cheaper or maybe with help from a fellow GMT400 owner....all I know is I want the truck to be level, and handle just as good and maybe better as it does now.
Any input on which kit to go with would be great.


I am modeling my lift and tires off of this Suburban....6" with 35's I beleive..
