Here are before shots of my 1995 K2500 GMC Suburban SLT 4x4. It has 82000 miles, the 7.4l, 454 engine with 4.10 gears. I've made minimal upgrades to this "little" beauty with a K&N filter, and an aftermarket catback exhaust system. Below are pics of the truck with new 265/75R16 BF Goodrich All Terrain T/A KOs and MB Motoring Shock wheels 16x8.

The great thing about bigger tires is I gained 1.25 inches in height, which was noticeable from the cab. Now those Fords don't look as tall as before ;).
I plan to get Bilstein shocks to give better balance in hard braking/acceleration. I've got a rotor/brake upgrade in the front. I've added a rear wind deflector to improve gas mileage (before K&N it was 9-10mpg, after K&N filter it was 10-12mpg, haven't checked with wing on yet).

Here's a closeup of the MB motoring "Shock" wheel and a front view of the beast...

We had a blizzard in MA on the Dec. 6th weekend '02, and I ended up pulling out two snowplows(photographed from my cab)...the Chevy 1 ton was trying to push out the Chevy Blazer when it, too, got stuck...great fun!

yea i got to 110 at the spectator drag at the local drag strip. It i couldn't really tell how fast i was going cause the speedometer only goes to 85 but the display board said i went 110. I didn't think it was geared for that either but I guess the guys who restored it did something to the gearing
