My biggest thing I love is to go against the grain, I have built several vehicles that most people would scratch there heads at in the begining of the build and later appreciated what I've built at the end. One build being the "Blazcalade" where I took a 4wd 1994 Blazer, added a Escalade front clip with Escalade interior and did a 3/5 Drop on 24's and completely murdered out.
My biggest plan for the Suburban is to be a performance inspired grocery getter. I originally wanted a 2wd LTZ but I need the 4wd as we have a cabin in the snow and the roads can be daunting at times. I stumbled across this Z71 being a one owner with rebuilt drive terrain (Motor & Trans) with 130k on the clock for 12K and told myself no way would I pass this deal up.
Over the course of this year or more, I'm going to do a McGaughy 3/5 drop with 24" Trailblazer rims, Big Brake kit, Headers, Fast LSX-RT intake with Jet Throttle body, AFM Delete using a LS9 cam, LS7 Lifters and LS6 valve springs all from Texas Speed and Performance (https://www.texas-speed.com/p-717-dod-afm-delete-kit-for-536062-engines.aspx)
I'm also going to change the front bumper with a Tahoe "Hybrid" front bumper to give her an more aggressive front end (I would personally love to do a Silverado front clip). I'm also going to delete the roof rack and remove the side steps in favor of electronic steps.
I absolutely agree that it looked great leveled as I got a lot of complements here and there but I also chauffeur my 75 year old grandmother around to her Doctors appointments and was becoming a bit much for her to step on a stool as I refuse to drive her car as my head sits burried in her headliner, LOL.
Give it time and she'll look great and sound amazing too.
Here is some Z71's built on my idea for inspiration as well as the Blazecalade that I built
can you do a normal drive by and flooring it video... to really hear the exhaust?
Washed the truck for the wife, paid all but a couple hundred of it off (will pay the rest off tom)! Also cut some of the rear mud guards so no more rubbing
