Pics: my suburban project Before, During & After

[Big89Burban]

Alright guys. Just spent most of the weekend putting on my 3/4 ton D44/D60. Finished the disk brake swap in the rear. Installed the new master cyl. and installed the 44's. Things left to do: Install the 5.38 gears. Have a draglink made for X-over & gotta cut down the driveshaft to fit the D60 (too long now).

Before:

After the 12" lift (wont fit 44's)

Goodies:

The *almost finished product. 12" suspension 3" body.

I'd like to thank everyone here that helped with questions and everyone that helped find parts

That's a huge burb but it looks like it still need some to clear thoose tires. Looks nice though.

Holy christ thats a mammoth

That can't be your garage can it?

 

[muddybuddy]

u sure u got 5.38s? i didnt think they had come out with them yet...

sweet truck reguardless!

 

[k5freak44]

5.38s have been out for atelast a couple months unless he is running a d60 or d70.

i wouldent take that thing off road until you nip off some of the fenders tho, even a little articulation will send one of those tires into the fender and will make it look worse then if u cut it.

Looking good... and big.

 

[Big89Burban]

No. Thats not my shop (unfortunately!) I guess you dont see any BMW's in the background but thats what I slave my life away fixing.

I swear the box says 5.38 on it. Ordered it from yukon. Has 8 pinion teeth & 43 ring gear teeth.

Thanks for the compliments

Oh and BTW I mostly built this thing just to play with in the mud. Not too serious at the moment (besides its really too big for most trails around here) but it will eventually get a D60 out front and some more serious tires.

ya i was going to say... those tires are what i call 44inch mall marchers, i hear they are very good on the street though and some minor off-road but if you have goo luck great.
p.s. the rig is huge and i like it alot!!!

those axles are like what my friend had under his dakota (HP 44 front/60 rear) with 5.38s and detroit in the rear...the gears for dana made axles do go pretty low and ive yet to see one set of 5.38s for a 14b.

its reallllllllllly big tho...and pretty clean looking.

thats a sharp looking burban... i think the bushwacher cut out flares would solve a few problems with the law and fender tire contact. they would look sharp as well, but its your ride. keep up the good work

HAHAHA.....

I live in TX dude. There is hardly any tree-huggin' laws against trucks here. Just headlight/tailight height. Only have to have mudflaps & all that crap if Ur dual rear wheel.

BTW My rear axle is a D60 not a 14b(think someone got it confused). Kinda wish I woulda done a 14b but I came accross the D60 for cheap. Same with the 44's got them for crackhead prices so I couldnt pass it up..

I'm bored and that reminds me of a buddy of mine's truck, xcept he has some real tires. 383ci. locked, 1 tons, 5.13's, crossover, 12 sus, 3bod 44boggers Freakin hilarious how his rear shackles are backwards cause his springs are arched so much. Some guys just gotta have their **** sky hi. lol

Thought on the street the bottom of your front bumper had to be within 24" of the ground, and nothing could stick out past the fenders more than 3" left side and 4" right side? just something I read somewhere in the DOT lists... could be wrong or outdated...

burb looks sharp... lemme know how those tires work in sand... been considering a set of those on mine...

aww come on now.. thats not nice

I got the tires CHEAP... Like really cheap.. Gonna go TSL's or IROK's later.


With the TX laws.. Well I was a state inspector until about 6 months ago. I guess a cop could be a big ass about it and write all kinds of crap but they usually wont mess with you about it

Thanks for the compliments
More pics to come later..

[mciahpv]

Dude, that is one BAD ASS 'burb! (Awesome shop, too) And don't listen to these naysayers -- jack that sucker up there until you're so high you've got to wear an air mask like an F-14 pilot!!!
