This is my first 4x4 and will be my first lifted vehicle. I'm thinking about going with either a pro comp or rough country 4" lift but have no idea what all idea or where to even start.

<-<<< NOOB

1) what's the difference between the rough country 350.00 4" lift and the pro comp 600.00 4" lift? Is the other worth the extra money and or does it come with something the other kit doesn't?

2) do I need the dual steering stabilizers?

3) anyone know where I can get a new or like new driver seat in blue

4) any preferred places to buy a heavy duty front and rear bumper? (front bumper needs to hold a winch and heavy duty jack / rear bumper needs to swing out and hold a full-size tire)

5) does anyone have the 4x10 brackets that convert to 6x9? If so how do you like them?

6) what are the factory speaker sizes in the suburban?

Sorry I live in Norman / Moore area and the battery switch block is for the cheap fog lights and backup lights that the previous owner installed.

What's the back spacing on my truck? I'm thinking about swapping the current centerline Hellcat for some rock climber pro comps.

last night we started working on the hitch mounted spare tire rack. When it finished it will hold a 15x10 rim with a 15x12.5x33 tire and will be lowered on either a actuator motor or gas piston lowering bar.

Looks like @HotRodPC got a new local friend!!

Yep, see I haven't been on enough to pay attention to many threads. I'm all over Norman daily and Moore of course.

One of the motor clubs we do has us around the OU campus all the time, and then I'm at Quality Wrecker and L&A / Quick Wrecker all the time picking up for Copart.
