Yup, the same. The rear doors are perfect but the cargo doors are falling off also

If that's the only damage to the doors, I'd fix them.

You aren't pitching them are ya?

What are you gunna do with the burb doors?

They are an easy fix but I don't have a garage to work on them and it's my daily. I can't exactly unbolt them and work on them for a week while I travel to work. I'll probably keep them to repair because I believe they are the original doors, they have the original GM sticker. So I'll swap the doors for now and fix it later.

These aren't the doors you're looking for.

Anybody have any side shots of 6" lift with 37s? I'm afraid they will look stuffed in there if I do it. Thanks

This is a 6" and 39.5s. 37s won't be bad. It's not completely a side shot, hope it works for you.

4” springs with 1” zero rates. So 5” on 37s.

Lol. 6" front spring with longer shackles, I think it adds about 1/4". Rear is 3" spring, 2.5" shackle flip and 1.5" longer shackles. So more like 7" in the rear (or maybe it was 4-1/2" shackles giving it 1/2" more, I don't remember lol). Tires are Super Swamper IROK radials, 39.5x13.5x16. Turns fine when going down the road. Never flexed it offroad though. No fender trimming.

6" Skyjacker all spring. 15/36R16.5's. With the 9.75" wide wheels it required trimming of the front fenders.
