Off-road bumpers for Chevy Suburban

[Topkicker]

During all the snow I must say the 2013 Suburban 4x4 performs great in the snow. It has the Tow package which includes 3:42 gears, tranny cooler, and limited slip rear diff. Has the Z-71 18 in. wheels w A/T tires. The T-case has low range and auto select also. This makes for a great performer in bad road conditions. My ONLY complaint is ground clearance especially on the front. I love the ride and don't really want to lift it. I was searching for high clearance bumpers and really like the looks of the Fab Fours. They even offer a rear bumper. The front has a winch mount also. It will change the look of the rig dramatically but will give the clearance I'm looking for. Made in the U.S.A. Give some opinions. Anyone running them?

Of you want to have one of those on there you need some toyo M/T to really make it look mean the bumper looks awesome but AT throw it off



Like on our truck! Awesome quiet tires!

I really like the first one with out the top tube and the rear one looks nice also!

One thing to consider is the added weight on the front end parts, some of those are very heavy.

This is the way it sits now. I did install a Go Rhino pit bar (same as PD's). Got it mainly to protect the front bumper cover from damage. I worry about someone hitting the nose of it while it's parked at the grocery store.

Agree. That was my favorite. It won't hide the Bow -Tie. I expect some sag w the extra weight and a winch. Went through this w my Wrangler. I had a Teraflex spring lift and the coils were so soft the nose sagged after adding a Rock Hard stubby and winch. Put a Rock Krawler lift on it w progressive rate springs. Problem solved. I REALLY don't want to lift the Burb. I would consider a leveling kit if I get a little sag from the weight.

Agree. More aggressive tires (and maybe wheels) will pull it all together. I kinda dig these XD's.

A 2" front leveling kit would give you some room too. Cheapest option.

Thanks Tim. I've installed these "puck style" lifts before. They don't tend to change the ride at all. Still use the factory front strut assembly.

Nice. Like the flat wheel finish. How much lift??
