Yeah my son and I did it in 30mins
But make sure you buy some throttle body cleaner to clean the throttle plate and mass air flow sensor cleaner too

It'll take you 30-45 min with a socket set and screwdriver. I did it and I am the least mechanical person here LOL. Just follow the directions or you can find step by step instructions on YouTube.

Idk if i'm aloud to say this here but go join z71tahoe-suburban forums also.
Tons and tons of mods to do. Run a search on whatever you want to do.
Roof rack lights, indashes, leveling how to's.
For exterior:level, larger tires, tint, hids, led reverse lights and/or led tail lights (idk if you meant smoking lights by not touching the lights) brush guard maybe and clean it often.
Don't waste more than 70$ on a cai it doesn't help that much. Try ebay or locally.

I am 100% in agreement with M3PO about getting the truck baselined and in tip top shape. Sounds like you've got most of that done, but here's a few specifics to think about:
1. Transmission fluid. Look good? Smell ok (not funky or burnt)? When was it changed last?
2. Differentials. The seals go out on the diffs pretty regularly on these trucks - they age and weep after a while. My Yukon did it, the Suburban is doing it. When was the last time the fluid was changed? Any gear oil weeping/dripping?
3. The often-overlooked transfer case. They are filled with GM's special brand of lubricant (the blue "smurf oil"). When was it last changed?
4. Brake fluid, power steering fluid, and engine coolant all go bad over time. Think about freshening those systems up to extend their life.
If all of that stuff is good to go, here's my basic 4x4 upgrade list:
- New torsion keys and rear coil spacers to lift the truck 2" or so. Looks good without being overly aggressive and will let you put on...
- Larger tires
- Brush guard
- Off road lights of your choice wired into the factory fog light switch
- Window tint
- CAI of your choice
- Muffler of your choice
- Black Bear tune
You'll be a happy camper with a slick truck!
