I have a '99 4x4 Suburban I'm wanting to fix up for my son. Wanting to add 2" lift kit, bigger tires, paint job and fix a few minor things. Anyone know of any shops in the Allen/Plano/McKinney areas that do good work? Would appreciate any feedback...

Thanks,

DPD25

Check with Ryan at Red River 4 wheel drive off of 380, I used to do a little business with him a few years back, he is a good guy.

X2. The lift you can do yourself or any good alignment shop can do for you. Your suburban has a torsion bar suspension, locate the torsion keys which should be just u der the front seats and will have a bolt on each one for adjusting up and down, obviously you want them turned up and in equal amounts. There is no company that I'm familiar with that builds any lift kit under 4 inches for those type of suspensions. For the rear just buy and inch or two taller block but don't stack the blocks, get new leaf springs if it's in the budget. The biggest tire you will be able to run with out having to trim any metal is a 285-75-16 or equivalent to a 33-10.5-16, assuming you have 16 inch wheels. A four inch lift will clear 35's and look great on a 'burb.
