Re: Bagged 05 Suburban
Nice looking burb man it turned out nice.
Innovation - That's a slick burb too. Welcome to the boards. It's nice to see more Oklahoma guys on here. |
Re: Bagged 05 Suburban
Man I loved that burb the first time I saw in truckin' because of the silverado truck frontend. Would look cool with the SS bumper cover or fully painted bumperS. I didn't like the grey bumpers on my 07 silverado classic either so I'm not knocking ur truck. :)

Re: Bagged 05 Suburban
I'll find or take some pics, everything was done to the front lol, tubbed firewall, hydro boost brake conversion, narrowed track width a couple inches, custom upper and lower a arms, all custom steering, raised uppers, stock upper sping pockets are cut off now has tubular upper bag mounts pretty much everything was changed to get 28"s to fit and lay frame. Its actually set up to lay body on a 28" wheel and tire, just need to do the stock floor BD just havent had time

Re: Bagged 05 Suburban
To LooseCannon, Awesome! I love the wheel choice also.
Last summer I purchased my wife an '05 suburban LT in the same condition as yours for $16, and man this thing is immaculate and rides like a dream, but as I'm into lowered vehicles, I am tryin to convince her to let me at least lower it on some 22's if not bag it. Love the look! Heres ours with no drop yet lol http://i35.photobucket.com/albums/d1...boudro/021.jpg http://i35.photobucket.com/albums/d1...udro/011-2.jpg |
Re: Bagged 05 Suburban
LooseCannon,
Very nice build! What rear shocks are you using (going to use) and what modifications did you have to do for the rear shocks? Anymore modifications planned for the Burb? 1LOW4X4, Nice Burb. Noticed you changed you the taillight housings/lenses to an led setup.....what Brand/Model/part number? I really like the look of those housing/lenses and I need to replace the cracked ones on my wifes burb. |
Re: Bagged 05 Suburban
Thanks, they are recon brand which personally I think is thebest quality, but they are pricey at $350ish. Got them from stylintrucks.com
My 01 silverado also has the recons but I went ahead and blacked em out all the way, they can be seen in my link in my sig. Loosecannon-I might've missed it but how much did this change ride quality? |
Re: Bagged 05 Suburban
Thanks!

Re: Bagged 05 Suburban
Nice job Loose Cannon. Here's a Tahoe I bagged back in 2000. I think I was one of the first to do this year Tahoe.

Re: Bagged 05 Suburban
Wow, great thread! I just stumbled upon this via a tahoe/yukon forum as "pretty much the only air ride writeup" that someone on there could find.
I recently bought an '05 Z71 Suburban and really want to bag it as well... but first a few questions ;) - How would the procedure differ for a 4wd suburban? Would there be clearance issues? - Did you get rid of your torsion bars althogether? - Is there any other place to mount the air tanks? I relaly want to keep the spare tire for... emergencies. I wonder if there is space in the rear interior where the jack/fake subwoofer are? - Why did you run two tanks and compressors? Does it seems like you should be able to drop it and pump back up with the air in one tank? - What would you do differently if you were to do it over? - What are the level sensors for? I know there are stock sensors, can they be reused? - Is there an alternative to using those shockwaves in the front, ie regular bags? If I muster up the will to dive into this I'm planning on doing a well documented how-to, and I'm going to try to make it a budget build (<$1000)! I realize that this thread is pretty old but hopefully you are still active enough to see this. (fingers crossed) |

Keep us posted on your build :). |
Re: Bagged 05 Suburban
its way way way better to run regular bags like Slams instead of shockwaves Ive got a couple pics of my front setup I can e mail you if you send me your e mail address.
|
Re: Bagged 05 Suburban
I think the main disadvantage to shockwaves is the amount of limited lift - I only get 4 1/2". But there are advantages too like performance and being a bolt on application.
