Hi again folks. I joined the forum back in September 2018 just a few days prior to picking up "our first Suburban" which will be my wife's car for our infant (1 year old) and toddler (3 1/2 years old). Being around cars I had the new family car.

Got a car wash knowing I was going to take photos to post then it starts down pouring. Story of my life boys.

A few mods that I started with are:
- 24" wheels
- 14" Flip down DV/USB/SD video monitor
- LED low and high beams
- LED fog lights
- Escalade Tail lights
- Black roof wrap
- Also have a 2nd row bench seat (we opted to captain chairs). Very easy swap when we have both sets of grandparents for a road trip

I've been in constant communications with NorcalSS about lowering the car but the front lip is so low already that I am afraid that it will be an issue during the winter months here in the northeast (NJ). Also currently love how the ride is even with the 24s.

Not really sure what else I can do to the car that isn't going overboard. Just took in on a 1000 mile long weekend trip from NJ to Canada and she did well. Going for another trip on labor day weekend and I may throw the roof box on (will post pics of those later).

Thanks, I'm near by at Bergen County in NJ.

If you ever need a good dealership for service check out Paramus Chevrolet on Route 17. I use them when I am up there if I am due for service. It is my go to dealer when I am in that area. I use John McGarry as my service advisor.

Welcome. Nice Burb. You could do a mild drop or just level the rear. NorCal SS has plenty of options and provides excellent knowledge and guidance. I put 26 wheels on my Escalade. The ride is still great.

What mods are next?
