Hey guys and gals, I thought you might like to see my build of a vehicle that GM never officially made, a Suburban PPV. Why? I have two boys under eight with oopsie twins (LOL) on the way, thus the 'Burb. I run a wheel and tire shop so we're always lowering on 26's or lifting on 35's so I wanted something different. That, and we do a lot of traveling as a family, and I couldn't think of a better highway cruiser and lane parter, haha.
Anyway, she started as a 2007 Suburban LT2 2wd just two short weeks ago:
And then I got right to work, adding 18% side and 38% windshield, plus logo removal:
Then picked up a Westin Tahoe push bumper and deleted the OEM roof rack:
Finally, I sourced a used set of Tahoe PPV wheels off eBay and had them refinished and wrapped them in 275/60/17 Goodyear RS-A's, and installed a Belltech 2/3" lowering kit with spindles and rear shocks:
...and that's how she sits now. I plan on deleting the side strips and have four pair of blue Code 3 LED's and a siren/light controller that I'm going to install when I get some free time at work. I'll use these off-road only obviously, at stuff like car shows and the like, which I frequent almost every weekend it seems, LOL. The rear is going to come up another inch via Pro Comp spring spacers as it's a little too low out back for me. Plus an Eibach rear sway bar will be installed at some point to minimize lean into turns.
Thanks for looking and thanks for the info I've already gathered through this forum. Be sure to check back in for updates as I'll be sure to keep you guys entertained!
