operation 1 ton suburban...*Head Unit installed*

here some pics :D I got the 14ff loaded in the back of my dads truck. And I'll be at my buddy Jeremys(k5er4life) pad tomorrow swapin in the gears and the new yoke that I got from WFO.

On sunday I'll slap the 14ff back under the sub. Then remove 1 leave from each pack and add some zero rates and new u bolts.

:haha: That first nano-second when I see a pic of your truck, gives me a start; "Thats not my pic!":haha:
Its gonna look like a segment from Overhaulin, in our driveways this weekend.
I'm assuming the minus one leaf, add 1" AAL, is for more flex?
 
Overhaulin back yard style :D I wish my back yard was bigger. owell I'll work what with I have. The PO put in some add a leaves in each pack. so yeah, I'm pullin them out for alittle better flex and addin some zerorates for an extra 1" of lift.
 
I had 5 leaf 1/2T 56s and a aal but I swap them for 8 leaf 3/4T 56s a few months ago. The 3/4 have more hight, carry loads better and flex way better than the 1/2T ones. Just a thought while you had it apart.

Did you order your bumper yet?

I Have been back two days now, I should start working on my burb too.
