    2.5 Rockwells is anybody running these

    Also forgot to add that I won't be even close to as tall as your project. My fenderwells will be cut bigly and I will only lift as little as is needed to fit things underneath. I'm planning to set up suspension mostly for downtravel

    2.5 Rockwells is anybody running these

    Vbb199, thanks for all that info it will most certainly come in very useful! I do fully understand the torque that 54" tires with that type of running gear will generate. I'm planning DIY hydro assist steering so will probably send you a PM when I'm getting started. My plan is mostly rounding up...

    2.5 Rockwells is anybody running these

    I've taken a big turn in my build and have decided to make a snow wheeler out of my 89 suburban! My plan is 2.5 rockwells with Detroit lockers on 54 mickey Thompson's. There are a few things I would like to get some advice on and that is what to run for transfercases as I want to have as low of...

    How to... lift Suburban 4x4

    I've got 36" tires with 4:56 gears and 4th gear overdrive is pretty tall. I Definately would not want 38" with 4:11 gears unless I was useing a SM465 4 speed manual or 3 speed automatic. My 4" lift is perfect for 36" tires. I'm going to go with 40s but will cut my fenders rather than lift over...

    I need gaskets and seal kit for A 10 spline SM465 NP 205

    I've been to every parts store in my home down and knowbody carries a kit. Only a few seals here and there sold individually and not a single gasket! Must be Covid 19 or a government conspiracy....

    Noob with a 1989 Chevrolet R3500 454 with performance upgrades

    Welcome and nice looking truck! Sure would be nice to know cam specs, what pistons did he use, were the heads ported, did he up the pressure on the tbi, has the throttle body been modified, is the fuel pump stock or modified, has it been rechipped??????? It didn't perform in what way? No...

    Warn hydraulic winch?

    Just a thought but the guys I wheel with use chainsaw winches and I'm impressed! It's nice when you want to pull straight sideways when you can hook to the side of your vehicle. Carrying a chainsaw is a must anyways if your wheeling in timbered country and a chainsaw winch is light Tracy

    Gotta love TBI

    I've been tossing around 100 different ideas on what to do engine wise in my 89 suburban! The 350 TBI that's in it runs mint and I think you talked me into keeping it TBI. Its not a race car it's a camping, exploring, hunting mobile how much power does a person really need. The 456 gears I have...

    TBI rebuild completed!

    Yep there way simpler than a Carb! When I rebuilt mine it ran some better but didn't come to life until I changed the fuel pump.......if there is such a thing as a 350 TBI coming to life Lol

    How to... lift Suburban 4x4

    Yep it might be a little more work but well worth it IMO! Not only is it stronger with less axle wrap BS going on but the way it drops the rear of the spring it helps keep a more correct pinion angle. My Burb had 4" blocks in the rear when I bought it and I switched it over to 4" ord's Tracy

    No way this is right?

    Scoots, the OP has a TBI engine that has been changed over to a carb that apparently won't run. The TBI distributor is computer ran and wont work with a carberator. If your engine is TBI and hasn't been swapped you want to keep the distributer you have

    No way this is right?

    Does it run? Looks like someone tried a swap and gave up on it? Hopefully the tbi distributor has been swapped out Tracy
