    Another coil spacer question

    with that kind of lifting, on the road it is not 100% necessary; however, i felt it was becasue there was not enough usable shock left to dampen the bumps, which also meant they would/will wear out faster. (i installed the longer shocks after doing the lift) the stock length shock WILL...

    looking for speaker configuration input

    in the not to distant future, i plan to start working on the stereo in my 03 suburban. i have the Blose setup which will all be replaced...the headunit, speakers, sub, amp, etc. the front of course has the 'component set'. the back doors have 6.5s, and there are the tweeters in the far back...

    a new lifted 2003 on the board

    www.Z71tahoe-suburban.com www.fullsizechevy.com (i think that's the name) and some other one that i never get on because it is slow. Z71tahoe-suburban and this one are the best two that i have seen. Z71 is probably 90% used by 2000-2006 body style owners.

    a new lifted 2003 on the board

    mine is 2wd...no cv angles :) this is just for pure looks. i don't like THESE stock rims. there are some that i do like, but not these. there are some i've seen that i like so much i would powdercoat black vs buying aftermarket rims. i'm also not much of a chrome person; of course it...

    a new lifted 2003 on the board

    thanks! factory ride...other than having a higher center of gravity of course. the actual ride characteristics are the same though. i would recommend the mod to anyone.

    for the price, the KYBs ( http://store.summitracing.com/partdetail.asp?autofilter=1&part=KYB%2D565076&N=700+400286+4294924641+4294908216+4294907174+4294881919+115&autoview=sku ) can't be beat. the Bils would be nice i'm sure, but i didn't feel like paying the extra dough. the stocks were fine...

    Another coil spacer question

    yeah, it really is a good setup. i'm really happy with it. other than the obvious being taller than stock deal, i did not notice a difference in ride quality over stock. replacing the shocks is not 100% necessary, but i would recommend it. the stock shocks will fully extend and compress...

    i wanted to introduce myself. my name is Patrick and i have a 2003 Suburban. i am on a couple other chevy/tahoe/suburban boards, but i just recently found this one. of course i don't have a tahoe, but in many regards my suburban shares a lot of the same characteristics so i'm sure i can learn...

    what type of shocks 03 z71 hoe

    i run the 'lifted height' KYB model specific shocks on my suburban with ford keys at a bit over 3" of lift. i plan to add a longer KYB shock in the rear since i have the 1.5" spacers and the stock shocks are not long enough for my comfort. the KYB shock you use in the rear is actually a...

    Which torsion keys to buy ??

    i run the Ford keys. they got me over 3" of lift. they were $74 for the pair from the local ford dealership. you can get them a little cheaper online, but after shipping, it's just as good to get them locally. some dealerships do charge less than others. find a few in your area and call...

    Another coil spacer question

    i just spent the $80 and bought the sure bet with the Suspension Maxx. i got the 1.5" for my suburban and am running the Ford keys cranked. i got close to 3.5" of lift in the front and exactly 1.5" in the rear. i have heard of someone on ebay selling spacers that are not correct. couldn't...

    I saw an Escalade with a flex fuel badge on it.

    i would hope it is legit. i don't know why anyone would want to advertise that their vehicle is flex fuel/E85, muchless act like theirs was if it really isn't. those that are educated on it would likely hide the fact.

    Need help, trying to find a Z71 front bumper....

    as i have been in more accidents than i would like to advertise (only one being my fault), i am fairly familiar with getting body parts replaced. chances are whatever you do, you will need to have the part painted or repainted. in this case, obviously buy used when/where you can. since you...

    Need help, trying to find a Z71 front bumper....

    just from experience, in those situations, it's just easier to say you got in a wreck and need to replace all of those parts. those shop guys usually can't wrap what you're trying to do around their heads and actually understand and give you straight answers.
