Re: How about some pics of 88-98 Trucks
It's been a while since I've visited the forums here, so I figured I'd post some pics of my fleet.
My most recent purchase is a '98 Suburban I picked up at the end of January. My family is growing by 1 this summer and with 2 boys already, a Cadillac CTS and an extended cab pickup just aren't going to cut it for hauling the family in comfort. It was time to supersize the ride. 3 rows were a requirement, but money being tight, a newer model Suburban or Tahoe was out of the question. That left me looking at the GMT-400s (not like I'm complaning) and for 3 rows, that meant Suburban. I found this one for a deal at one of the local dealerships I do work for. It was traded in by an older couple who had purchased it from the same dealership. It had been parked for nearly 2 years. I'm still working out some of the maintenance issues, but for the most part it's very solid and very clean. When I first brought it home: ![]() ![]() Pewter with a blue interior. That's a new one on me. ![]() I have done a few things since then: Removed luggage rack. Removed VentShades. Removed fender lip trim. Removed front bumper rub strip. Window tint. The headlights and taillights I took off of my '94 GMC. Anzo LED taillights and TYC Elegante headlights and parking lights. I have 4500K HIDs and a hi-4 conversion as well. The biggest change, obviously, is the suspension. I installed a pair of 2" BellTech shackles on the rear and some 2" Hotchkis coils on the front. While I was at it I installed some Energy Suspension swaybar bushings and endlinks. The truck sat 1/2" high in the rear stock. Well, the shackles gave me 1 1/2" of drop and the coils gave me 3" of drop, so I ended up with 2" of rake. Next up will be a set of hangers to level it out. ![]() ![]() ![]() I've still got quite a few plans for the future, not the least of which are a GMC grille and new rear bumper. |

Re: How about some pics of 88-98 Trucks
This is my '94 GMC. It was purchased new by my parents in January of '94. I had been driving it and working on it for the last year or so while I needed a second driver in my household. Since I bought the Suburban, I've pretty much given custody of it back to my parents. But, since they live 2 doors down from me, I have access to it anytime I need and still lay some claim to it.
While I had the truck, I removed a lot of the stick-on/bolt-on crap that my parents had installed. I had installed the TYC Elegante front lights and Anzo LED taillights that are now on my Suburban. I also updated the mirrors, went with the later smooth center caps and blacked out the chrome strip on the side molding. ![]() ![]() ![]() |

Re: How about some pics of 88-98 Trucks
I remember seeing your blue truck a long time ago. It was killer then, and still is now. The other two are nice as well, and I'm with you, never seen the pewter over blue before.

![]() heres my 98 gmc sierra. bought it in february of last year as it is shown in this pic. getting a shackle kit to level it out a bit. thinking of using coil clamps up front to bring it down around half an inch. because i dont have much room. any opinions on this? or should i just go to a smaller tire and get one inch coils?

Re: How about some pics of 88-98 Trucks
Unless you have a load in the bed in that pic, I'm betting you already have drop shackles on the rear. It looks level to me.

Hey 1badgmc, where did you get the brake lights on your red gmc?
Thanks, Rim

Re: How about some pics of 88-98 Trucks
eBay seller gt_racers. I got mine for $123 shipped, but the last time I checked, they were selling them for around $109 shipped. They're on my Suburban instead of the red truck now. Best looking aftermarket lights I've ever seen for these trucks.
