Looking for pics of Suburbans with that setup. I'm getting closer to buying atomic performances coilover kit and doing a complete bushing replacement. Trying to decide if 2" inch lift on 285s is to much or not enough.

What year is your Burban? I thought all Nbs had torsion bar suspension?

It's an 03 and has the torsion bar setup but I'm ditching it in favor of a coil-over system. Just curious how 285s and 2" inch lift look that way I know how long of shocks to order.

04 Yukon XL, same as the 'Burb. 3" keys in front (Ford expedition lift keys, not stock Ford or lifted Chevy), Z71 springs and 2" spacers in the rear. 3" longer swaybar links in the rear, stockers up front. KYB Monomax shocks for a 2-5" lift in the front, stock length KYB's with 2" extensions in the rear. Fender heights have settled since I first did everything, now sitting at 39 1/2" at all four corners.

Oh, and 285/75/16 General Grabber AT2's on 16x8 MB Blitz wheels, stick out 1 1/4" further than factory 16x8's. Fender flares stick out about 1 1/4" past the body, too. In these pics, I also had 1 1/2" wheel spacers in the back, same as in my signature pic.

That's a good ratio! 285s and 2 inch lift
