gus-yellowk20- finaly has started on his 1991 2wd burban.it is a ex airforce rig and has NO rust.the plan is for it to fit 47s once it is done.drivetrain-turboed 6.2,sm465/203/205/d60/14b with front arb rear detroit with 5.13 gears. front will have 4" lift 56s with a diy abomb.rear will be long arms with coil spring and will eventualy have air bags for ride height adjustment .itwill retain full body other than the needed trimming to clear the tires.
after over a year of it sitting we finaly harrassed him into getting started on it-even had to temp donate parts for him to get started lol.well heres some pics.

2wd suburbans are the best

PS: the front suspension comes out in one piece with about 12 bolts :D

lol yup it does but was much more fun with the plasma.besides gus never used one before and was having way way too much fun with it
 
That is most definetly the baddest winch mount/bumper/spring hanger i have ever seen. I saw the DIY4X logo on her but was unable to find it on the website.Who did you have to sleep with to get one? Or is it 2 seperate pieces you grafted together?
 
it is made as seen by diy4x4.it is the abomb with thefromt plate made for a 8274 winch and has the body mounts lifted to match a 2" body lift.
do to the owner forgetting that he wasstarting with a 2wd it doesnt quite fit-NOT diys fault- so we will be doing a few minor mots to it to make it fit this frame correctly.
 
yeah the A-bomb would have fit perfectly if I had put it on the truck I ordered it for I'm very happy with it the quality is top notch!!

Thanks to Sledheadak for the help and letting me use his leafs until mine come in.
