Got my new truck PICS!!!

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. 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 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.

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.

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!
