how well do the bags bolt up to the trailing arms? and did you replace the trailing arm crossmember as well? Im trying to figure out what to do with there rear. but want to keep it somewhat simple.

I was afraid you were goin to say something like that

not looking forward to that, maybe I can get by without doing it right now and do a frame off later

I used the original crossmember. Everything is bolt on. The only cutting required is for the C-notch, but it is bolt in also. If you look back in this thread or in my crewcab thread, I show some pretty detailed pictures of the chassis. My original plan was to do a "frame-on" resto, but you see how that ended up..................

I couldnt remember if it was in your build or not, I'll definatly go back and read. that seams to be the way with these trucks, just a huge snowball affect

Those are some sweet brakes man!

Are you using the Modular Drop spindles from CPP?

I got the whole setup,

. I almost have the 12" rear brakes installation completed. So far it's been a pretty simple and straight forward install. I chose to put the calipers forward of the axle but you can do it either way, you just swap the mounting brackets. Here's a few pictures.

Frizzle Fry · 02-06-2010, 02:47 PM

Oh yeah! Beautiful!!! Glad to see you can mount them forward like that. What's your solution for securing the ebrake cables to the PB arms?

Thanks Mike. Let me know when you're down this way, you're welcome anytime. How's the orange truck coming? Has Joe been working on anything new?

I asked Nate about the brackets when I ordered mine. He made them and I welded them on. I don't think he is adding them on unless you ask for them. I'm sure he'll send you a set if you want some.

It's a really sweet kit and I finally feel like I'm making progress on the burb. I pretty much have the rear buttoned up. I have to get a differential gasket tomorrow and tighten a few bolts and then I'll be moving towards the front....

. Here's a few pictures of everything mounted inluding the brake lines.

Frizzle Fry · 02-08-2010, 01:23 PM

Thanks Rob. Mine are already powdercoated so I'll have to make something to bolt on.

Some clips similar to what CPP provides with the rear disc brake kit should work really well...

What's everyone's thoughts on these wheels?

pcmcobra · 02-08-2010, 09:08 PM

go bigger!

smbrouss70 · 02-08-2010, 09:09 PM

I'm going to vote "no", simply because they don't go with the "could be stock" look of the rest of the suburban. Just my $.02

jmedero · 02-08-2010, 09:40 PM

I think they look good, might be a little to flashy for the truck. I think a Intro Vista or the twisted Vista would be awesome.

VA72C10 · 02-08-2010, 09:57 PM

While I like those rims on certain trucks, I don't think they do your Burb justice.

They look a bit small (tires too). I guess I'm just calibrated to mine now. 22" rears with 20" front seem to be the money ticket for these. That, or go closer to the stock look like 17" rallyes.

I Think both of these statements hit the mark...

I do like those rims but maybe not on the large bodied burb, I also think when 20's are used on the rear you need a bit more tire (sidewall) to fill the wheel wells. But then this is just my two cents, it's your ride and you should go with what you like.

I will say though, I love the brakes man. I have been looking at that kit myself and I think I will be picking a set up here real soon!

I agree. I was just trying these on to see what the backspacing would be.

To flashy for me,

. Besides, we wouldn't want to Burbs running around here with the same wheels,

.

Sounds like we're thinking alike....

These are 22's, but the tire is to small. I don't like rubberbands.

I've pretty much decided that I'm going with 20 x 10's (29" tall tire) in the rear and 20 x 8.5's (27" tall tire) in the front. The brakes are awesome! If they perform as good as they look, I will be extremely happy.
