    What did you do to your NNBS GMT900 Tahoe/Yukon Today?

    Washed her. Cleaned her up so I can take pics to sell her (black on black 2011 Suburban LT 1500), and buy me a Silverado 2500hd. I then glimpsed at her again, and I just couldn't bear selling her. I mean, I've spent over $4k replacing oem suspension components, plus have installed Hellwig sway...

    How many miles did you get out of your original Transmission?

    2011 Suburban 1500 LT here with 123k miles. When I got it, I did a drain and fill. The old oil was dark as hell. Not a good sign. It shifts fine so far though. I'm going to try a drain and fill again and install a new oil strainer and ring seal just in case.

    Yes! Both front and back, plus installed the adapters up front so it wont hit the transmission lines. $800 for both, but well worth it!

    Pics of my truck and gramps (my father in-law). I live in a desert, so it's not as clean as i want it to be.

    Help with reviving suspension

    Sorry for the late reply. Too much drama in my life now, but the ride is amazing! Night and day difference from the old suspension, plus it is now much more tamed and controlled! I highly recommend it if you have $2k to invest in a suspension that will last you another 100k miles! I'm going to...

    I don't have much time right now, plus, the truck needs a shower. I'll try to take some tomorrow.

    Help with reviving suspension

    Just had the time to finish the full suspension overhaul. I just took it to an alignment shop, and let me tell ya, it rides amazing! Even the old lady was impressed! Those Hellwig sway bars work wonders, and the Bilstein 4600s keep it very well under control! The heavy duty springs lifted the...

    Help with reviving suspension

    They are a tad longer. Not by much. I was able to compress them enough to have the strut nut in a few threads, but not enough. It's going to be one stiff ride if i decide to keep them in.

    Help with reviving suspension

    Yes! I did! And i'm also starting the dismanteling process in the front. I just found out that i got the wrong front springs. They sent me moog part #81248 for the front springs instead of 81250.... ‍

    Help with reviving suspension

    So.... i was installing my Hellwig sway bars today. The front sway bar was a breeze to install, but the rear one is giving me trouble. It looks like the U bracket mounting holes do not line up (they're farther apart than the body's mounting holes). I've read a few threads that installating was a...

    Help with reviving suspension

    Thanks for all the help guys. I've already bought all the items i need for a complete overhaul. I decided to go with the Moog 81250 front springs. They might be too soft, but the wife occasionally drives it. So far, i'm almost $2500 down the hole with all these OEM parts, but i know it's worth...

    Help with reviving suspension

    I've been buying parts here and there lately, decided to bite the bullet and buy Bilstein 4600s, Hellwig front/rear seay bars, moog front and rear end links, new oem front and rear uca, lca, oem panhard bar, moog 81069 rear springs, but a little stumped which fronts to get: the 81246, or...

    2008 Suspension Upgrades - Bilstein's or Height Adjustable Shocks

    That sucks. I tow a small trailer sometimes on my 11 burb LT 1500rwd and do some mild hill adventure. The stock crap sucks now. Was hoping to order some 5100s paired with moog 81069 instead of the 4600s, but with back orders, never mind! I'll settle with the 4600s. I really feel for ya. Hope you...
