89 Suburban DD Build (finally a 3/4ton)

[eclipse85k10]

Thanks I had thought of the smaller arch would help the ride. I just noticed they have the same 5 leaf pack as the rough country's I had before.

Thanks pma kind of my reason for trying to get the locks to work. I also got the rear passenger door lock to fix before the remote other wise a remote for 3 of 5 doors seems silly =)

Finally dug into the 8lug 10bolt. Just I suspected. ..

Grease looks very water logged

Spindle should be fine. But it does look like a new set of bearings is in order!

 

[noJeepshere]

Those are nasty! Was the axle submerged for a long time or something?

 

[eclipse85k10]

Two weeks off from work. Time to get busy. Tomorrow im taking the tbi to get rebuilt. Need to get bearings calipers and spring bushings so I can do the axle swap and lift.

Hell yeah man!

 

[Babaganoosh]

Very glad you are working on the burb, I remember talking about a axle swap for years.


Still got the k10?

Don't forget about the inner spindle bearing. If those look that bad I ca imagine what those look like

Hey Eric, If I remember correctly those 2.5" springs I sold you were Rancho's They should ride just fine....no where near what the RC springs ride like. The blazer I took those off of I put a 4" RC on and to be honest it wasn't terrible. You could always get the shock mounts from the wrecking yard since they are off a 80-97 F250/250.

 

[eclipse85k10]

Good deal! I remember you mentioned rough country and I couldnt remember if these were or you went to. Do you still work at Titan and do you have bushings there?

 

[86454K30]

I don't have any bushings here at work unfortunately.

Got my tbi back from the shop today. Runs great and got my idle setup right. Got alot more parts to collect. Gonna be a while for the lift-3/4 swap. I however pickup from 56" 3/4ton rear springs from a friend. The overload and few more leaves should help level out my sag with the lift and help if I decide to tow down the road. If not ill do a shackle flip with the 1/2ton springs later.

Also I really need to figure what to replace my 2nd row shoulder belts with. They are pretty frayed and dont return well and not secure at all for the kids sitting back there.

What color?

[eclipse85k10]

Seat belts? Blue or grey would work

 

[82355]

I'll have to check, but I think I sent the blue set I had to Alaska.

[noJeepshere]
