Re: Bagged My 71 Suburban
Great job Scott ... heading to bags on my Burban too, adding the 3/4 ton challange to the mix.
What wheel and tire size combo are you using, cause they were made for that stance?

Re: Bagged My 71 Suburban
Thanks Rick, they are 20X8.5 Boss 338 rims.
Rear: Good Year Eagle GTII 285/50 R20 Front: Good Year Eagle GTII 275/45 R20 HighlanderBrad gave me the #'s he used on his Suburban. I needed to use 5/16" spacers up front due to the rim hub being a bit small for 71 disc brake rotors. According to HighlanderBrad 88 and up rotors swap out and will work without spacers. I think Boss 338 have a rim that will fit the older rotors now. I also pushed the rear rims out 1/2" with spacers and new 1/2" longer lugs. I was getting a little rub around corners before I had an adjustable track bar and lowered it, but I do like the way they center in the rear wheel well with the spacers, so I'll keep the spacers in the rear and get newer discs the next brake job.
