Picked up an 07 Z71 Suburban to replace the 04 Z71 Tahoe

[65stang]

Well with a family of 5 the Tahoe was not cutting it anymore for traveling so it was time to upgrade to the Suburban (which I wanted when we got the Tahoe). I sold the Tahoe privately and the new owner just picked it up yesterday. So far I have ordered Weathertech mats and a CCM leveling kit for it. Hopefully get some time here in the next few weeks to put the leveling kit on it. Was originally going to take the wheels and tires from the tahoe and install on the Suburban but the buyer wanted the wheels and tires and agreed to a higher price for them.

Here is a run down on the Suburban. Its an 07 Z71 pretty much loaded to the hilt with 84k miles on it. Planning on replacing the wheels and tires in the spring with 20" wheels and an AT tire. I will also be ordering a Airaid Jr. and SLP res. delete after the holidays. I am trying to make up my mind between the Borla or Magnaflow muffler also. Once we get the wheels and tires in the spring I am planning on doing a Blackbear tune. I really didn't get many pics of it yet but here is a picked of the old tahoe and one of the Suburban.

What were the specs on the old Tahoe?

I mean lift (size and means of lift) and tire numbers?

It had a leveling kit on it with 3" keys and 1.5" spacers in the rear I believe. It had 20x9 Racelines with 33x12.50's. We have been looking at 20x9's again with a slightly smaller tire this time and going with AT's for the Suburban. I am really thinking I might pick up the new BFG AT's as they still looks pretty aggressive.

I have one for sale. Technically selling just the tube as the filter is dirty and probably need a new one.

I just laughed out loud, got some funny looks but that cracked me up.


Congrats on the new ride, lookin good.

LOVE the tahoe. The Burb looks nice but def get rid of those aftermarket rims! Man your tahoe rims/tires would've looked really good on the Burb.

Thanks guys the Tahoe was a work in progress. I was in the air with the wheels and tires, but the buyer wanted them and was willing to pay extra to get them so I just let them on. The wife wanted different wheels for the Suburban anyways so I don't really care either way. I was looking at these wheels possibly.

 

[felixgun]

Yea no biggie everything is replacable you could always buy another exact set but whats the fun in that huh? Fuel has some really nice wheels just like the ones on your tahoe and the ones you posted above, i'd definitely take a look at what they have to offer before pulling the trigger.

 

[65stang]

Yeah I had looked at Fuel also, and we are not sure what we will get yet. I am not going to purchase anything till after winter anyways. Also my wife is a PITA when it comes to picking wheels. So who know what we will end up with

 

[felixgun]

at least she WANTS to get aftermarket wheels. Mine wants to throw up everytime I bring up getting new rims lol.

 

[65stang]

She didn't used to be like that, but she has learned over the last few years. Anytime we purchase a vehicle now she is on me right away to order weathertechs and stuff before we even pick it up. Till next summer the Suburban should look a bit different. I want to black out the grille and and a few other things. Really isn't a ton I need to do on this other then spend many hours fixing the destroyed black paint like I had to do on our Tahoe. Owning a detailing business, it drives me nuts buying stuff because most dealers know how to really destroy a paint job. I am gonna hold off till spring to do it though. Figure 20 hours or so of compounding and polishing followed by a coat of CQuartz Finest and it should look good.

Old Tahoe looked great. Don't go smaller tire, imo. Go with the same wheel/tire size. Basically, make the new one look exactly like the old one and it will be a 6000 lb slab of win. If it ain't broke...

Man that tahoe is sick! Congrats on the new burb!
