Jessie started with BellTech 2" spindles up front and Firestone 2600 bags. To smooth the roads out Jessie added a pair of BellTech shocks. Out back Jessie ditched the factory leaf springs in favor of a 2 link and panhard bar setup. To allow the axle room to travel a monster C-Notch was then installed. To get plenty lift in the rear Jessie added another set of Firestone 2600 bags onto the 2 link bars in a cantilever configuration.

To give the rearend the same smooth ride another set of BellTech shocks was added to the mix. To give the bags the pressure they needed four Thomas 317 compressors were added along with two 5-gallon air tanks. To supply the air to the bags and for control off all four corners (8) ½" Parker valves were plumbed thru ½" stainless steel tubing.   For times when compressed air just wouldn't hack it Jessie opted for a 2 nitrogen bottle set up in the bed area of the GMC. To finish that suspension off Jessie decided the truck needed some new wheels so he called upon Eagle Alloy Wheels for a set of there new Eagle 212's in the form of 20's wrapped in B.F. Goodwrench 245/40/20 skins. Now that Jessie had the GMC's frame planted firmly on the ground it was now time to tackle the other projects that lay ahead.
