The speed locks are cool they can open a beer and they might just saw sticks that get into your rim😎

@Full-sizeFabrication 2 месяца назад

Never thought about the sticks lol. But they definitely would!

Nice truck! I’m looking forward to seeing what you do next. I’ve got a 91 Suburban. 6” lift ORD springs, 37s, and a LT engine swap.

@Full-sizeFabrication 3 месяца назад

Thank you!! We will see what I do next. Its constantly changing.

It had been setting for ten years an I flew to Iowa an drove it all the way back to Kentucky lmao 🤣 done amazing. My wife was amazed that I made it home alive lmao 🤣

@Full-sizeFabrication 4 месяца назад

I've always wanted to do something like that. Find an older vehicle out of state and drive it back! But any noise I hear while driving, my mechanic mind kicks in and activates my anxiety haha

Nice job on the motor. I have a 1984 K20 with the Dana 60 in the front and a 14 bolt free floating in the rear with double lockers it's halfway built but I need to do a lot of work to it

@Full-sizeFabrication 4 месяца назад

Thanks! I had a dana 60 awhile back that I wish I would have held on to. I am also running a ff 14bolt in the rear setup with Detroit. Hey! Sounds like you're half way done!

Recently bought a 1990 V1500 and want to lift between 2-4inches, the darn rear sagging like a soggy pamper! Do you recommend the ORD shackle flip? What brand/size are your barn door gas struts? Genius idea. Mine is also red...mad inspiration!

@Full-sizeFabrication 3 месяца назад

Honestly of I did mine over, I would just have replaced the factory leaf pack with an aftermarket lift leaf. I installed the 4" shackle flip and it didn't quite lift it 4". My rear leafs were also really worn out so I ended up doing leaf swaps anyway. Glad my burb can be some motivation! Send me a message on my Instagram page @fullsize_fab about the gas prop setup!

@rlfdavin 4 месяца назад

great looks burb. i just snagged a 90 4x4 as a new project. who did your carpet? also the wheels you said where 15" or 17"? im looking to put 37's on mine as well but not a lot of lift. i want mine lower even if i need to cut fenders..

@Full-sizeFabrication 4 месяца назад

Thank you! I did the carpet. It was a kit I ordered online. The wheels are 17x9. I am also trying to get this thing as low as possible on 37s. I'm shooting to be right around 4" of lift.

Stock 3.42 gears ? Wiked rig ,I have a 91 with 6.0 LS

@Full-sizeFabrication 4 месяца назад

Thanks! Sometimes I wish I went with a 6.0, I'm running 4:88s

@iamrobbiero 4 месяца назад

Was also wondering your gear ratio. I have the stock TBI 350, 700R4 and since adding 35 in tires, I've lost some power. Wonder if 4:10s would make a difference.

@Full-sizeFabrication 4 месяца назад

@iamrobbiero oh 4:10s would definitely help. If you plan on sticking with 35s I might even look into 4:56 gearing. After editing the video, I realized that I definitely left a lot of important details out.

@iamrobbiero 4 месяца назад

It's science trying to figure out what gear ratio works best. Thanks for the information. You can always do a Part 2 😉

@Full-sizeFabrication 4 месяца назад

@@iamrobbiero check out Spicer parts gear calculator. You can play around with speeds and ratios to find out what gear ratio would be the best for your application.

@shootermcgavin2819 4 месяца назад

You know, people choose suburbans because they can camp inside the vehicle. That way they don't need a roof tent set up..

@Full-sizeFabrication 4 месяца назад

I do, I used to camp out of the back of my suburbans for years. Until I came across a good deal on my first roof top tent. Thats when I realized I liked using the tent a lot more.

@frathousebikes4168 4 месяца назад

That somewhat role cage is. Just tarded

@shootermcgavin2819 4 месяца назад

You did a lot of useless mods and did not do things you need to do. The ls swap time and money could have been used for many other things I see missing on this vehicles particular purpose. Absolutely NOT putting you down, just pointing out what I see.

@Full-sizeFabrication 4 месяца назад

I don't think the mods were necessarily "useless". Are there some that are impractical, yes. But the plans for the vehicle have changed over the years and they will continue to change. The ls swap was the best option at the time and wasn't that expensive to do. The original engine and transmission were tired and I just so happen to have a 5.3 powertrain ready to go.

@holdenc3082 3 месяца назад

Don’t let this guy get you down. There’s always at least one in the comments section….The LS swap made your truck much more drivable and enjoyable compared to some old TBI 350 or 454.

@mavericksteer831 3 месяца назад

Hey Shooter!!! So you must be like the Donald Trump of old Suburbans right? Thanks so much for sharing your expertise with this guy. We’re all just lucky to share youtube with you. You fuckin clown.
