So, what do you have when you reach the point that your truck is finished and has ran the show circuit for a year or two? Sell it, change the wheels or paint? No. If you're anything like Brandon you get the best talents in the industry going on your project and let them do a complete make over.

When the big burban rolled off the trailer and into the shop the first thing to do was something with the old suspension. After putting the big beast up on stands it was obvious that a complete suspension rework was in order.

The job started with the front suspension. First the crew at The Hole removed the original front airride setup and went about trimming and re fabricating the lower control arms and frame rails to make room for the big 2850 bags. This new front-end setup not only got 4" more drop but 3" more lift.

Moving on to the rear. It was decided that the tired old leaf spring set up would have to go to get the required drop for the monster 22" wheels.
A new Airride parrell 4-link was installed along with removing the old c-notch and airbag mounts. The new monster c-notch and bag mounts allow for more drop and more lift.

Now with the suburban laided out on the ground the stage was set the biggest impact. The body drop. Check in next time as the first cuts are made and the body goes down.
