    2" Drop Spindles Ride Height

    Hey, all. So, a few years ago, I installed 2" drop spindles on my 05 Suburban LT and de-cranked the stock keys to lower the front some more. I took before and after measurements, but have since lost them. Anyway, I want to go back to the ride height of just the spindles and stock keys. I...

    HVAC stuck on heat, not the usual blend door actuators...

    05 Suburban LT with dual, digital HVAC controls. For a while I've had the same issues as many, anytime I disconnected the battery I needed to recalibrate the blend door actuators and then everything is good. This time, both sides are stuck on heat and resetting/recalibration didnt fix it, so i...

    Extended Wheel Studs

    Wondering if anyone knows of a longer than stock wheel stud. Need them to be at least 1/2" longer, or more, I can always cut them down if they're too long. Thanks

    NBS Suburban, Belltech 4230, Autoride?

    I've been reading so much about the Belltech Trailblazer(4230) coils on NBS SUVs that it's got me wondering if they'd work on my 05 Suburban with Autoride. Currently have MaxTrac 2" coils, DJM RK2000 kit, Spohn adjustable lowers and I've done the free travel mod. What's the lowest I can go and...

    Auto climate control problems

    2005 Suburban LT. In the past, any time the battery went dead or was disconnected for whatever reason, the climate controls would freak out for a bit and blow full hot on driver and passenger sides. After some time, they'd re-calibrate and start working normally. I know this somewhat...

    Headers+ORY, rear O2 sensors?

    Looking to do a couple of things to an 05 Suburban Flex fuel. Intake, long tubes and an ORY to a stock cat back and then a tune. My question is in regards to the after cat O2 sensors. I've read they can be eliminated via tune. What does that mean, exactly? Will there be any negative...

    I've searched but, the interwebs is full of contradictions. 2005 Suburban LT 2wd with factory Autoride and self leveling in the rear. Currently have Belltech spindles in the front and MaxTrac coils and relocators in the back along with modified sensor rods. This resulted in about a 1.5/2.5...

    I am swapping my stock Suburban rear bumper to a Denali bumper. My question is about the reinforcement bar and structural portion of the bumpers. The Denali bumper I got came from up North and it's pretty rusty. Can I reuse my stock structural section and put the Denali bumper cap and step...

    Remote start using factory keyfob?

    A while back, like a couple of years ago, I read some forum posts that claimed there were add on remote start options available for NBS trucks/suvs that worked with the factory keyfob. Remote start was an option, my 05 Suburban LT does not have it, I would like to add it. I can't find info on...

    NBS Suburban - Stiff ride after 2/3 drop

    Having just installed a 2/3 drop on my 05 Suburban a couple of days ago, I noticed a considerable change in ride comfort. It feels like the rear really stiffened up. The front is dropped with Belltech spindles, the rear with coils and shock relocators. At first, the autoride raised the rear...

    NBS Drop spindle confusion...

    OK. I've been reading about drop spindles for my 05 Suburban and I'm completely lost. There seem to be so many varying opinions on the various brands and the pros and cons of them all. I've read how they all either do or don't increase turning radius, how they do or don't push the wheels out...

    07 Silverado Classic spindles same as 00-06?

    I'm looking at some used McGy's drop spindles here locally. They're off of an 07 new body style Silverado. According to the McGy's store, some of the mild drop kits for 07 and up Chevy trucks are also compatible the 07 Silverado Classic, which I thought has the same suspension setup as the...
