Re: 1989 GMC K5 Jimmy SLE Daily Driver

Congrats getting the iBoards on the Jimmy! Glad to see you went with keeping them with the body line vs. sticking out, makes for a nice clean look.

Personally think the iBoards are the only way to go on the old square's. It gives the trucks a nice, clean, updated look (at a great price).

Can't tell in the pictures, but if you have any rear sag or just want a more level look, I also went with a "Zero Rate Leaf" on the Suburban. What I found out, the height of the wheel well on the rear was designed to be about 1" lower than the front, which makes most think they have rear sag (even if they don't) because you would think they would be at the same height.

Enjoy,

Thanks for sharing your pictures earlier. I'm glad I went this route also, wish I would have gone with the 6" boards at this point.

There is no sag in my springs, it's sitting on an incline in the last picture. I actually like the mismatched wheel arches.
