Got my new truck

[armymp1983]

I picked up my "new" truck today. It's a 1996 GMC Suburban 2500. It's got a 454, 4L80E tranny and 4WD. Power everything all option except leather. It's even got a tow package. I'm going to tune her up this week. It is a monster. I'm thinking about some custom plates saying "454 TANK". Now i have a nice tow rig if anybody needs something hauled. :lol: I'll try to get pics up tommorrow.

35s are useless on a suburban...rears still hang down too low and its too heavy....need 38s on one to do some real wheelin. its kinda like the smacked asses that think thier H2 is unstoppable cuz its stock w/ 35s but they get stuck in everything cuz the rears and the weight.

Unfortunately 8 lug wheels are harder to find at a decent price. I'm shooting for this sorta look when i'm done with her.

unfortunately thats not all that true....ill be picking up a set of wheels brand new (for the Ram) for $400 + shipping. Granted its not a rather "name" brand but they are still good wheels, and cheap. I know of someone who owns a set like I will be getting and they are GREAT quality.

Also, look at Jimmyboys truck, it has some wheels on it (granted they are 6 lug) but they are amazing wheels and I can get a pair like his in 8 lug for about the same price as the other wheels.

More info??? sounds like a great deal.

When I get home, I will send you a linky to the site. I actually think they have free shipping this month. Im hoping to be ordering mine within the next few weeks.

I'm looking for a set of 22" wheels for the tank.

[bad64chevelle]

hmmm...there may lie your problem, but who knows maybe a set of 22s can be had for like 800 or so, i really dont know. The wheels im looking at are 16s and come up to 18s i believe.

umm, you need to lift it, not drop it.....

[maroman88]

i like suburbans dropped, anything smaller can go either way

I'm not really into the off road thing. I like more of the "sport truck" theme. Nothing beats a sleek smooth truck, blacked out with a touch of chrome. :nod:

[Knipps]

before i found my 'maro i was gonna grab an exploder and drop it..

[armymp1983]

I think they are too big to get lifted. I'm not slamming it maybe just a 4-6" drop.

That's not a truck, it's a station wagon! :lol:

Station wagon on Steroids!!! This Suv is no way related to your run of the mill grocery getter.

If you Lower it it will be a station wagon They look terrible lowered! But dont take me the wrong way im jsut stating my opinion you can do whatever you wish! i personally would lift it or leave it!

[maroman88]
