Re: 72 Dropmember Suburban

Re: 72 Dropmember Suburban
I had to get a shorter tire because I couldnt use these on the front with the slosh tubz. I ended up changing to a 255 35 and now I dont have prooblems.

J/K What most people don't realize,... you also have to be able to "turn" these wheels left and right,... INSIDE the fenders, because your new ride height is so low. (you no longer turn thru the wheel opening) Believe me,... you will feel the tire rubbing the "inside of the fender" if you turn too far.

Re: 72 Dropmember Suburban
You are getting a little ahead of me. The engine isnt installed yet and its no where near being on the road at this point. The engine going in is a 496 bbc.

Re: 72 Dropmember Suburban
Been busy at work latley so I havent gotten much done. I picked up a big air tank, all my air tubing and new fuel tubing yesterday so I will start getting those run next.
Today I made some filler panels for the front fenders. Its kind of hard to tell in the pictures but they have the same size and profile as the factory ones. The factory ones just looked bad from where I cut them. Hopefully they will never be noticed once they are finished. I will get them painted when we re-paint the fenders. ![]() |

Re: 72 Dropmember Suburban
Burb is looking killer. One of my favorites. What disk brake setup you running on the rear?

Re: 72 Dropmember Suburban
I got the airline tubing run and I think I am going to have to add some kind of heat shield to protect them from the heat coming off the headers.
