My new project truck: '99 K2500 Suburban

Wow, I wonder how that happened. I would think it would take a lot to do that.

Same. But it has a kink in it that makes it not sit straight in the brackets. So I'm gonna replace it. I wanted the Addco 1.25" bar, but it's backordered until like May. And it's about twice the price of the Dorman 1.18" bar. And the Helwig bar is similar in price to the Addco, but it's only 1.125"

Oh, and the first mod I did when I got her home was to peel of the 454SS stickers. Literally shut her off and started peeling.

Those made it so much better

I like not having ridiculous stickers on my stuff.
Now, if I had a 2wd half ton that was big block swapped, then absolutely. Cause that would be a ridiculous ride, so definitely need the ridiculous stickers.

Lord help me. Today's purchase was over $2k. My wallet is crying. Oh well. I miss being able to drive my Burb.

I know how that goes. Ordered a bunch of parts to baseline a new non GMT400 purchase today!

Got my first batch of parts yesterday evening, not in the mail, but picking them up at Summit Racing.

Accel Super Coil
Dorman sway bar
Cloyes L29 HD single roller (this is the beefiest timing set I have ever seen in my life)
GM Performance plug wire looms (hoping these are a copy of the factory ones)
ARP head bolt set and balancer bolt
Finally scored a set of Bilstein 4600 shocks, since the rears have been out of stock everywhere for months
Couple other small odds and ends

Bilsteins are the only way to go on these rigs, good score!
