Lowered Burb

Hey guys I'm new to the board and was wondering if any of you could help me out. My son and I have a 1991 Suburban that we are looking to trick out a bit. It's not a 4x4 (which I would lift instead) but it's a well kept 2wd so were looking to do a slight drop 3/4 and put some 20's on it. I have seen a TON of 92' thru 04' like this but very few 74-91's.
I'm wondering if any of you have pics or know of anyone that has one. Here are some pics of our 91' Any help is appreciated.

Wow your right they do look small for 18's.. Yeah 20's will make a big difference.

Who makes the drop kit ? Is it a 4/6?

Hi guys,
Nice to see other guys with older custom burbs. I have a 90 with 2.5" springs in front and 4" shackle and hanger kit in back. I am runnin 15's with 245/60 front and 275/60 in back. Hoping to get 20's soon! I wish I had some pics, maybe put some up later. Hey beermonkey did you purchase that roll pan or make it yourself? Steel or fiberglass? I want to install a roll pan on mine. Looks good man!!

Hey Dropped90Burb,

yeah if you could post some pics that would be great. It's hard to find pics of older custom Burbs.

it came with the roll pan its a sir michals (at least thats what the sticker that was on it when i bouhgt the truck says) somebody molded it in , looks like it was done many years ago, very dented and banged up, ill be putting a new one on when it gets painted. as for tirs size i have snow tires on it now. the rear are 225/75/15's and they tuck about 3/4 of an inch and the fronts are 235/70/15's and have about 2 1/2's inches to the fender

No problem with the tank! The only problem I've had as far a scraping is the class III trailer hitch. It hangs down just past the bumper and sometimes hits on steep driveways and stuff.
I would like to get a roll pan with the hidden hitch setup because I want to retain towing capabilities. But with the gas tank there I dont know if I can do it. What do you think?
