Operation Bigger Burban.....

[bowtiefreak]

a little teaser. Sits about 2" lower than the tahoe...not to bad. I'll get some better pictures up in a couple days. Gears are in, exhaust is done, needs to be aligned and a few little details but we are close

Looks good.. I would keep it exactly like that! haha

Coming along nicely... what tires did you end up ordering?

 

[bowtiefreak]

I ordered the Procomp Extreme MT 315/70/17.

Well here it is less the tires, wheels and tune. from the center of the axle it sits 1" lower in the rear than the tahoe and 2.5" lower in the front. Once the tires are on both trucks it will be a great Cepek Vs. RCX photo to help everyone make up their mind. Some of the pictures show a little bit of the tahoe and it still dwarfs the burban and always will.

On to the pictures:

Jokes aside on the tires it looks alright. Rides real nice other than the ABS light and the speedometer

I actually kinda like that look with the small wheels ... I remember back in the 90s they used to lift their trucks high and fit them with really skinny grapplers ... maybe it was the 80s.

Coming along nicely man.. Looking forward to upcoming pics with new wheels and tires.

Lookin good! Wish you woulda done a 2500 with 6.5l or a 454 though... I'm sure you had your reasons.

 

[bowtiefreak]

Matt, I didn't need the 2500 (would have liked one though, trust me). All this truck is going to do is haul the family around. I just need a bus these days to get everyone around...this fit the bill and price range. The 350 is a weak power plant, BUT I have a plan there too. That is a year or two out unless the current one fails sooner.

Now an update, I should have wheels and tires on by the end of teh weekend if all goes well. Pictures will be posted shortly after

Update: These will go on tomorrow

 

[bowtiefreak]
