Started the install today. It's been a while since I have worked in a few year old suspension in NY, the salt doesn't help anything. Pretty slow but I managed to get the front end done and the sway bar installed in a little over 4 hours. I took my time and made sure to use antisieze and torque everything. Tomorrow is the lowering of rear.

That long Suburban with the 375s looks sweeeet!
Thanks man, Glens Falls area is home.
So I just picked up the suburban from the alignment, the only thing that I noticed is that there is rubbing on the rear wheels against the fender liner. I ended up driving it probably 20 miles and noticed occasional rubbing hear and there. When I got home there was indication on each side of the rear fenders that I will need to cut off to allow for clearance with the wheels and lowering kit. I only really notice it when I side load the tires with a left or right turn. The axle is in the dead center of the truck, I used a straight edge and adjusted the pan hard bar to within a 1/16 of an inch, so I cant blame it on axle position.
Has anyone else experienced this? I am hoping to simply relieve it a little bit and solve the problems, I hope it is that simple. I also occasionally get slight rubbing on the front fender well on particular wheel angles and bumps. It looks extremely close to rubbing at times but mostly clears.

With a heat gun and a 2x4 I was able to push the protruding parts of the fender well out of the way. I have a few hundred miles on it at this point and haven't heard a single thing rub in the back anymore, looks like the problem is solved.
