Does anyone make rocksliders for the suburban?

I don't know of anyone that makes a specific kit for the burb however there's lot's of universal kits available.

I have never had a suburban before. Whats the deal with these links? Never had them on any of my blazersView attachment 366293 View attachment 366294

I have never seen anything like that, looks like that bracket is welded to the top spring plate, I am guessing it was supposed to be an anti-spring wrap device but man that looks scary lol.

wheres the best place to grab a driverside battery tray? i just picked up an arb fridge/freezer combo and want to run duel batteries with some type of smart charger to keep the batteries separate when the trucks not running.

I have a used one for sale. Has pitting but no actual rust thru. $30.00 plus shipping I am sometimes a little slow on shipping. A week to 10 days usually.

Can you replace the hinge pins on the barn doors? Is it worth doing or should i pony up for new hinges?

 

[kbclamper]

Need some help. I bought these led headlights on amazon and tried plugging them in and got nothing. Are they wired differently or duds?

Ok high beams work with 2 prongs hooked up. Still nothing on the low beams all 4 lights have 3 prong pigtails

1 of the 2 side spades will be the ground. the other side should be high and the center 3rd spade will be low.

Called them on monday and they said they dont do them for the suburban

says custom I wonder what their definition of custom is. @Bent77 adapted some Toyota sliders to his 77 long bed maybe something there might work for you

 

[Bent77]

Yes. I’d order the 80” ones for sure
I bought the 70” ones. Then stretched them to 77”. Cuz 1977..

Got the wiring figured out. Had to switch all 3 wires in the connector. Results are awesome for the price.

ok new problem before the rock sliders. truck started running like shit after driving it about 100 miles over the weekend. feels like its running on 7 cylinders. im going to start with a tuneup since i havent done that yet. plugs, wires cap and rotor. whats the best parts? im looking for most reliable over cheap. i dont want to get stuck in the woods with the family.

what else should i change out while im at it for the sake of reliability? the truck has 63k on the clock but has rolled over id rather do preventative stuff if i can
