    I should rename this thread. We cover Suburban 3500 information and life advice here. I definitely don’t disagree with you ol’ man.

    Epic road trip after action report - high-mileage 2500, 35-foot trailer, in the Rockies

    The view is amazing! Very jealous of your trip! I 100% understand the biting off more you can chew… been there and done that… have a couple fun stories I could share but this is the wrong place/forum to discuss Toyota things lol. What tire are you running ? Are those Faulken Wildpeaks? Have...

    Actual Payloads on 23 and 24 Tahoe with Max TOW package

    Hello! Not sure if you are dead set on new vehicles but I started a thread on here for the Suburban 3500 which are obviously newer than the 2500 so they have a few more creature comforts and have 4k+ payload. Technically, they only have 3k towing but that because it was GM’s lazy way out to...

    Epic road trip after action report - high-mileage 2500, 35-foot trailer, in the Rockies

    Sounds like an awesome trip! Really good to see the torture test you put it thru and it keeps kicking! Glad you and the family made the trip safely too - that’s the important part. Would love to see some pictures of your truck off-roading. Have had mine in sand a good bit since purchase but no...

    Chevrolet Suburban 3500 Questions

    I was not sure if there were options for tuners to do that but good to know! Good luck with your sale and hope it is super fast AND you get well over list price. Can’t wait to hear about the update.

    Chevrolet Suburban 3500 Questions

    Have you put the new tires on yet? How do you account for the Speedo being off? Is there a way to correct this with any sort of tuner?

    Chevrolet Suburban 3500 Questions

    Your advise MAY be valid and I will confirm next week when the replacement fronts arrive. The rears were great tho and I cannot believe how much difference they make. Haven’t messed with settings yet, but there is a HUGE difference on setting 1 vs 9 just manually compressing them prior to...

    2007 Suburban 2500 Suspension torque specs?

    Just did rear shocks on my Suburban 3500 last weekend and I was struggling with this topic as well. I settled on 87ft/lb for rear (top and bottom) with 35ft/lb and 57ft/lbs (top and bottom) for front. But in the end with how the suspension is setup I think the “tight enough” is sufficient. The...

    Chevrolet Suburban 3500 Questions

    One would think… but if I get a second set that do not rebound by themselves I will call Rancho to ensure this is how the product is supposed to be. The fronts are different than the backs in the sense the red boot is molded onto the fronts vs the buyer has to install the rear boot. So maybe...

    Chevrolet Suburban 3500 Questions

    It rides so much better now and a lot more planted. Crazy how much a difference they make. I went with the RS 9000XL. I was pretty shocked that both fronts would not rebound/extend at all. Wonder if both were old stock or something to that effect?

    Worthwhile dealer add-ons?

    If you are purchasing from this dealer, be careful of the finance options too. If you are financing make sure you get a preapproval so you have a fair and non-jacked up rate and then with the products they sell… be careful. Gap insurance is kinda useful but shouldn’t be more than about $700...

    Worthwhile dealer add-ons?

    These are hilarious actually. I remember when nitrogen used to be a $50 add. $200 is getting insane considering I air down often… I think most places charge about $50/window. So $100 for the front maybe is what I would have assumed is reasonable.

    Chevrolet Suburban 3500 Questions

    Parts fairy came the other day (love the FedEx guy) and new shocks were delivered. Rears were an absolute BREEZE, both sides done within an hr. I did cheat a bit and have been hitting the bolts with PB Blaster a couple times last week so everything came apart super easily. Front new shocks had...

    2015 Suburban LTZ 1st Off Road Report

    Lifts are really only “needed” when you are needing more articulation. I’m not going to sit here and tell you I’m a god of the offroad scene (lol) but tread carefully (pun intended) running on 20s. I have 18s on my truck from the factory that give some nice side wall but really those are too big...

    Running Dual Foglights

    This is super interesting. Not sure this is right on what I’m looking at but I think it supports that I can run two fog lights off the factory wiring… will keep this updated as Morimoto lights are egregiously expensive and I think we all wouldn’t mind an affordable secondary option.

    New to 4WD, any info and advice appreciated

    My truck staying 2wd unless, as others have said, it’s crazy weather then switch to Auto for a level of comfort. I do recommend going into 4low every so often just to keep things working properly. Just make SURE it’s in the grass or just roll the truck forward/backwards keeping the wheel...

    Running Dual Foglights

    Has anyone used these Amazon dual pigtail and then connected a Rigid light to it? I have a set of Rigid fog lights that I am planning to mount behind the grill and wire to the fog lights and switch. Anyone know if the draw is too much or if I would have any issues? From what I see there...

    Chevrolet Suburban 3500 Questions

    Those will look great! I will be the first to tell you tho please be careful when towing in those tires. I have a small fleet of vehicles and most sit in climate controlled garage but a few yrs back one of them was needing some love and I put a fresh set of tires on it (I think they were about...

    Rear Shock Options

    Someone else could chime in that knows more than me but I’m 99.99% sure the AC Delco is a GM part or a GM part is an AC Delco… should be same thing. Idk about Arnorttp

    Chevrolet Suburban 3500 Questions

    This is super helpful! I’m beginning to think, like Geo, that a reprogram is in my future. Hopefully he can go first and figure out what he likes or thinks towing with this truck needs. I’m about a yr or so out from my big boy toys… depends on markets tho… stocks go up and prices come down, does...

    Rear Shock Options

    I wonder if you show the pricing on RockAuto if dealer will match pricing? Worth a shot or if you are comfortable with doing it yourself, will the warranty company buy/reimburse you for the parts?

    Thanks Marky! This is super helpful and detailed. Probably will add this to my growing list. Why is this called a Yukon/Tahoe forum… it’s really a forum to open up our wallets…
