After
Before
Adam's new ride.... He traded his C1500 for this suburban in July 04'. The burban has a setup that must be at least 10 years old. Its running 2600lb bags in the front, Air ride technologies air bar in the rear with sleeve bags, 3/8" line, 1/4" paddle valves, dual needle gauges, 2-1 gallon tanks, 1 thomas compressor thats so old I've never seen one before. We went in and redid the front setup back in July 04'. The bags were rubbing really bad and the lines were kinked. I also put in new axles and bearings in the rearend. We dropped it off the stands and Adam drove straight down to Texas Heat Wave 04' without any problems. The burban hasn't been driven much since then. I hope to see the burban back in the begging of 05' for a complete suspension redo to lay the truck all the way out.
Current update of the status on the burban is down the page. Follow along over the next couple weeks as we tweak it back into shape.

 Lenny from Krazy Kolors did some pretty wicked graphics on the hood. |

 Bolt in c-notch that has been welded in. Lucky for us they didn't plug weld the holes. Either way it still sucks having to cut them out. |
 The truck was running sleeves behind the axle. The mount wasn't welded on in the right spot but it doesn't matter anyways The whole notch will be removed and a bigger notch will be installed to allow the truck to lay frame. |

 The new notch in its new home. The truck should now lay with the best of them. |

 There is a definite advantage to owning a Sandblasting company. Nothing better than welding to clean steel. Anybody else that needs blasting give us a call. |
 The stock abs unit is going in the garbage. We will replace it with a proportioning valve to get the proper disc to drum pressure. |
