Me too, pal. I’m just giving you a hard time I have to head out of town for business in the AM but when I get back I’ll get her cleaned up and share pics. Overall, she did great in the 3500 miles and averaged 15 mpg for the trip. Not bad for going thru mountains and desert with the AC cranked. Didn’t complain a bit

Parts arrived. Helper bag kit not pictured but arrived yesterday.

Drop kit?

 

[89Suburban]

We finish up vacation in Deathscalade tomorrow and will have put 3,500 miles on her in 9 days. After that I’ve realized I need to make a few upgrades as I’m not happy with how she’s riding. So I’m ordering a Belltech 2/4 drop similar to what I used to have on my 07 burb back in the day except I plan on using Belltech coilovers. I’ll also be adding a rear sway bar (front already upgraded) and helper bags. Hope to have the stuff in a week or so and then plan the install.

I also hope to eventually upgrade the panhard bar to a Spohn unit along with the rear control arms with Spohn units but that’ll come at a later date.

Just realized I missed this post

Drop kit?

Drop coilovers which can be set to drop 0-3”. Rear drop springs to drop 3-4”. I’m going to go for a 2/4 drop. Nothing crazy. Just a moderate drop that’ll look good and improve handling.

Got all the stuff together and ready for install. I’m aiming for this install to happen Saturday afternoon after a 12U soccer game

did you do sway bars on this one yet?
mine was tight tight but i think having big sway bars contributed to that, kind of curious of how it rides with stock bars and the coilovers

Front is upgraded. I've not done the rear sway bar yet but it is on the list.

Send me a set of those struts for Xmas money bags.

How are you going to route the air lines for the bags? A fill valve or on board air? You have existing air ride?

Planning on running the lines along the frame but meeting somewhere near the hitch opening at one Schrader valve. For now, it'll be a fill valve but may do onboard air later on to make it easier and a more convenient system.

I used to run something similar to this for my rear air shocks. Remember that white GMT400 EC I posted pics of I used to have? It was on that. When you drive down the road you could see the gauges moving to the bumps in the road haha. And I would drop the air out to unload the quad I hauled in the back.

Ideally, these helper bags are only for when we are fully loaded down to keep her level. Otherwise, she should be level when the rear is empty

I will be getting a Black Widow muffler on her but definitely not that! At cold start, the 6.2 already has a very nice sound at cold start even with the stock stuff on it but that Widowmaker would wake up the entire subdivision every day lol

Hmmm...so many options, especially in the listen section for that throaty 6.2L

Listen

Listen to a variety of Black Widow's stock and modified car and truck sound bytes.
