What was the lift and the tire size on the old silver and blue one? Looks like you put a set of F-250 aluminum wheels on it.

Re: How many 4wd Suburban guys do we have?

Slowly but surely finishing up the lost interest in my 6.0 swap hoping to take it mudding soon sometimes I wish the 350 never left as it served more than faithfully

Time and money, always seems I have plenty of one and none of the other. I will be able to do engine and interior projects on both trucks this year but no paint jobs are planned.

Re: How many 4wd Suburban guys do we have?

Here's my '90:





Ignore the white wheel....it's the spare. Had the normal tire on there bulge on me. Getting new tires on either Monday or Tuesday.
Also....the white around the rear windows is where I haven't finished painting yet. Rather than mask of the windows, and weatherstripping I am going to wait until I replace the weatherstripping and window motors. Did the fronts this way, and it made it so much simpler.

Looking good! It's crazy how wide those tires look on the wide rims. I used to run the same size SX's but they were on stock 15x8 rallies, they looked half as wide as yours.
