That looks as good as factory to me! Nice work. We on here always get more out of the pic than what was intended, soooooo........

I see you've got a coil over type shock there. That's not stock or OE replacement, is it?

They are coil-overs from JC Whitney.

You like 'em??

Yeah, I'd rather have air bags on the springs but this is a cheap alternative. I got an extra set of brand new ones if you are interested.

They ride good for this burban, I had them in a Dodge pickup before and it rode kinda stiff with them.

it'll be winter at the earliest before I do shocks. Gotta finish installing the weatherstripping, get a good polish & wax, and radiator before it gets cold. I'm also scaling back because I've got to buy tags in Nov, anniversary in Oct., Xmas and a family trip in Dec. I'll be lucky if I can't afford to buy friggin' lunch!

Guess I also need to make sure they're the same since your's is a heavier burb and 4WD.

Check the link for hte part number and then look up your truck to see if it is the same. If it is, and you are interested, I'll take care of ya.

Use a wire brush on a angle grinder and power power deruster then prime and paint it with rustoleum.

Then you'll be rusted again within just a short amount of time especially when rocks come up and hit your frame and chip off that paint. You need a more durable finish than that to truly protect your frame from rust.

I undercoated from the trim line down good 3M stuff.on the backside of all rocker panels and rear valance.I was looking for advice for something i could do the floors and frame with.
If im not mistaken Por15 has to be brushed on doesn't it.?

89S does your Burban have any lift..?

 

[dhamp]

No, you can spray it.

I've know people who've sprayed it...

My buddy who sells it says you can spray it.....but that you should use a spray gun you don't mind replacing, since it can easily ruin a gun if you don't thoroughly clean it within the curing time.

He also said that if you scuff it before it fully sets (within about an hour of putting it down) you can paint directly on it. Otherwise, if you wait too long, you'll need to spend a lot of time working a DA sander.

 

[Old77]

^^^100% correct.

...and if you go the "brushing it route" use brushes that you plan on throwing away cuz there is no cleaning them once they are used with POR15. Also wear clothes you don't care about when applying it.

My BUrb is stock. I used Rustoleum Rust Reformer on mine.

 

[dee123]

the rust reformer is a convertor. you can/should paint over it when you get a chance.
