Ive got a lot of extra weight on the front with the bumper, winch and extra battery. Hopefully that will help

2 inch lift springs should ride decent, definently run a set of bilstein shocks to get a much better ride than lift kit shocks
Made some progress the last 2 weeks. Found a sale on tuff country ez ride 2" springs that summit racing matched and had at my door in a day.
Ordered bilstein 5125s from ORD, they are 10" travel front and rear. They show 4" of shaft at ride height in the aux position in the front. I hope that works without having to put on the ford towers.
I also convinced a welder from work to come help me on my roof rack this morning. I think it came out pretty good. I just have to fit the rtt and get it powder coated

Looking good!
Test fitted my rtt today. I new it was big but seeing it up there kind of surprised me how big it is. Its comfortable and thats what i was after. The roof rack seems plenty strong so im happy about that.
Gonna need some info on the Chevy II.
Thats my long term project. Its a full protouring build. Its got a 427 ls3 that made 680/585 at westech built by tony mamo. Theres a fabricated 9" full floater with gun drilled axles. Full church boys racing suspension with Z06 brakes all around. I have a t56 magnum for it but am thinking about selling it and getting a tkx so i can keep the original tunnel. Holley dominator with 12" screen to run it all.
i like your bluetooth winch
You like that? Its Warns newest model
much lighter than using cable
They're easily found. 208 and 241 are the same plates. At least they easily interchange.
New motor is finally in. Took the kid camping at indian valley reservoir yesterday. Had to leave this morning because the wind blew in a lot of smoke. Truck rides much better with the new shocks and front springs offroad.
Awesome! Great to see all the gear getting used. Too bad about the smoke though.
How do you like the Milestar tires so far?

The milestars are great so far. They deal with the load good on the street and are pretty soft when aired down to 20 on the trails and fire roads. They are quiet on the street too
Diy4x makes rocksliders and all sorts of stuff for the burb
Diy4x wont make them for a suburban. I ended up buying just their brackets and 80" sliders for a toyota. I just need to get some time to fit them up
Excellent!
