Yep at 11.50 you need a 6pt roll cage for sure. You should be there easily Chad.

Re: 72 suburban with a duramax (the build)

I dont think i can bring myself to putting a cage in the burb quess i will just keep it 11.50 or slower. Would any of you have blueprints for a invisable cage?

Re: 72 suburban with a duramax (the build)

I'm lookin to do the same to my truck as a daily driver. My truck is a 67 3/4 ton SWB. Will the front suspension take the weight from the D-Max?

Re: 72 suburban with a duramax (the build)

Seen your Burb at Truckfest here in Denver. Never saw anyone near but us guys trying to keep the drool off your burb. If you still have the original Drivetrain Please Le me know my buddy looking for a setup now for his 71 2wd blazer.
