Re: More durable 15" tires

Actually, somebody suggested a while back that I just swap in some 3/4 ton axles under the suburban.

Sounds like a great plan, except those projects always get bigger once you get started on them. I'm guessing that the brake lines won't just reconnect, and would probably need to do something to match the drivelines to the yokes on the bigger axles.

If I had a K-20 donor truck sitting around, I would probably just be looking to fix it up instead and sell or part out the suburban.
