You could even weld the slits on the lower and fog some green over it and then it would look close to untouched. You might be able to do it without welding it too and have it look way better than it does now. Other than that. you will probably be cutting and welding a different center in it.

You may be on to something with the radio delete plate. I could just use a bluetooth speaker to get me through the summer, then weld in a new dash center section this winter and repaint the whole dash.

I'm not exactly sure what springs are in the back. They were installed when I bought the Suburban. They have a number printed on them, but a quick search didn't yield any results. I talked to ECE and they recommended a 5" drop spring for 6" actual drop. I was thinking a block might be the way to go though to get the rear end down and keep some travel in the suspension.

Thanks buddy. They had the back seats loaded up with dolls and toys this weekend. I think they're almost as excited to go for a ride as I am!
