- This refrigerator-white
2013 Suburban was what
we were starting with.
Worse than being bone
stock, it was outfitted with
a bunch of factory and
dealer accessories—and
they all had to go.
- The first item on our
parts list is a 2-inch
leveling kit from Superlift
Suspension. The Level-It
spacers (40026) mount
to the front struts at the
lower mount that attaches
to the lower control arm.
3. Anytime we get into
the suspension on a
project, we upgrade the
brakes with EBC anodized,
drilled and slotted rotors
and heavy-duty brake
pads—Orange Stuff, in this
case. The improved safety
and looks make this a no-
brainer.
4. The Mamba Offroad
Alloys M19 features a
D-shaped window design
with drill holes along the
rim edge. We ordered up a
matte black set of 20x9s.
5. For tires, we checked
out the LT285/55R20
Country Hunter R/Ts from
Fury Off Road. Besides
looking cool, the R/T gives
a comfortable and quiet
ride, excellent water and
snow traction, and stone
and mud ejectors gives the
tire great off-road traction.
6. We arrived at New Year
Tire in Santa Ana, CA, to
see our old buddy Beto,
and his crew made quick
work of our easy upgrades.
With the truck on the lift
and the stock wheels
removed, we began by
dropping the sway bar
mounts.
- Then we popped tie-rod
ends out of the spindles.
