For your 2018 Chevy Suburban the Curt Front Mount Trailer Hitch Receiver # C31073 and the Draw-Tite # 65064 will both require air dam trimming. I've linked a couple photos to assist. The dimensions of the Curt cutout diagram is shown and then the installed Draw-Tite hitch to assist. If the hitch were below the air dam it wouldn't allow the ground clearances necessary for your Suburban. view full answer...
The Air Lift 1000 Air Helper Springs for Coil Springs part # AL60769 which are a fit for a 2013 Chevrolet Suburban do not require the coil springs to be removed for installation. I will admit though, there are times were I thought it would be faster and easier to just remove the coil springs as these can sometimes be a bit tiresome to install but nonetheless, it's not required to remove the coil springs. That said, you will need to place a floor jack under the rear of the vehicle while... view full answer...
The Yakima OffGrid Roof Cargo Basket # Y07138-08 can have floodlights connected directly to the basket. The method of installation is key to the warranty. If you utilize mounts that connect to the bars you will not void any warranty, but if there is drilling or altering the basket in any way, then the warranty would be void.
For example, you may want to use brackets like the Yakima SnapAround Mounting Brackets # Y8810135. view full answer...
You are exactly right. The six included 9/16 inch washers for the Draw-Tie Front Mount Trailer Hitch # 65064 are used to fill up space in the large 1-1/4 inch diameter holes at the bottom of the frame on your Suburban. You might not need all of the washers to accomplish this.

What you would need to do is run a jumper ground from the grounding point on light # MCL75AB to a metal location nearby. You can use the frame or a metal support structure if available. This may require some additional work because you will have to route a wire somewhere for the ground but it will work out just fine. view full answer...
If you are towing a trailer that has electric brakes and you want them to operate, you would need to install a brake controller on your vehicle.
There are two primary types of brake controllers, the older time delayed type or proportional. A time delayed controller will always send the same pre-set amount of voltage to the trailer brakes, but the time between when the vehicle brake pedal is pressed and when the voltage is sent to the trailer brakes is adjustable. The major disadvantage... view full answer...
What you are noting is normal operation of the Prodigy P3.
The Tekonsha Prodigy P3 Brake Controller # 90195 will remain active until the vehicle has been absolutely still for about 15 minutes. After this length of inactivity the controller will power itself down until it is again awakened by motion of the vehicle. This sensor is very sensitive so even just opening the door and sitting down in the car for a moment will cause to unit to re-activate or re-start the 15-minute period. During... view full answer...
K-Source custom towing mirrors # KS62093-94G for your 2007 Chevy Suburban do not have a power fold-in feature. That is something that aftermarket mirror manufacturers have yet to include (on vehicles that can support that feature). You would need to manually fold the mirrors in if you needed to. I have linked a video showing an example installation for you. view full answer...
My contact at Derale advised that while it is technically possible to install their Oil Filter Relocation Kit # D15725 in an inverted position (as is sometimes done on race cars) this is not recommended. The main reason is that you'll have a real mess on your hands when it's filter change time. He suggested that a better option is to find an alternative location where you can keep the setup in the usual upright orientation. You might need some additional oil line such as # D15700. You may... view full answer...
The likely functions of the wires on your 1995 Chevy Suburban are yellow for left turn and brake lights, green for right turn and brake lights, black (or brown) for running lights, and white for ground. But to be sure I highly recommend testing the wires using a circuit tester such as # PTW2993.
After you have verified the functions of the wires you can use the picture that I have included showing the functions and positions on a 7-Way vehicle side connector. Ignore the colors in the picture... view full answer...
PC rated means that the light is viewable from a 90 degree angle. Most other lights are considered to be viewable from a 45 degree angle.
On the Optronics Trailer Lights, # AL82AB, this light will function as both a clearance and side marker light if mounted at a 45 degree angle. Just mounting the light on the side of your over 80 inch wide trailer will not allow it to be both a clearance and side marker light, because the light will not be seen at the front or back of the vehicle.

Although it is not absolutely necessary to remove the wheels to install the mud guards, it would make the install much easier. Depending on the sub-model of your Suburban (LTZ, Z-71, etc) drilling is required to install the mud guards. Unless you have a right-angle drill, you will want to remove the wheel in order to drill the necessary holes.
The mud guards you referenced, part # HL57731 are not the correct fit for a 2012 Suburban.
For a Z-71 model, use # HL56821 for the front and #... view full answer...
You have a good handle on the color codes.
If you're looking at the back of the 7-way connector, where the wires attach to the terminals, things would attach as follows. I'll refer to the terminal locations as if they were the hours shown on a clock face.
1:00 Running Lamps- Attach Brown Wire
3:00 Left Turn and Brake- Attach Yellow Wire
5:00 Ground- Attach Black Wire
7:00 Brake Output Voltage- Attach Blue Wire
9:00 Right Turn and Brake- Attach Dark Green Wire
11:00 12-volt constant- Attach... view full answer...
The etrailer 4,500-Watt Portable Generator # 333-0005 has been measured at 67 decibels 25 feet away at 1/4 load, which is just a bit louder than the amount of noise made during a conversation. All generators are going to make some type of noise though this is a pretty quiet one relative to its wattage.
I have added links to a couple video reviews of this generator for you to take a look at. view full answer...
Yes, to install the 7-way connector and brake controller on your 1997 Chevrolet Suburban, you will need the Brake Controller 7 & 4 Way Installation Kit, part # ETBC7 to hook up a 7-way on the rear of your vehicle.
After installing part # ETBC7, you can install a brake controller. I would recommend the Tekonsha Brake Controller, part # 90885. This is the latest brake controller from Tekonsha, and activates the brakes on your trailer in proportion to the brake pressure you apply to your... view full answer...
Your Draw-Tite I-Stop IQ Proportional Brake Control also known as the Primus IQ # TK90160 has a wiring adapter # 3015-P. If you have the factory 7-way on your 2004 Suburban there is nothing further needed. If you don't have the factory trailer connector you will also need # 30955. If you don't have the factory wiring at all, then you will need # ETBC7 kit. I've attached an article to further assist. view full answer...
To install Curt trailer hitch # C13422 on your 2005 Chevy Suburban you will need a 1/2 inch wrench and a 14 millimeter wrench. You will also need a torque wrench rated for at least 130 foot pounds. If you need a torque wrench you can use # ALL944001. I have linked the installation instructions for you.
If you plan on doing some towing I recommend etrailer ball mount kit # 989900. It comes with 2 ball mounts; one with a 3/4 inch rise or 2 inch drop and one with a 2-3/4 inch rise or 4 inch... view full answer...

Yes, you can return your 2010 Chevy Suburban to stock at any time (when parked) using the Edge Evolution programmers # EP39YR and # EP85350.
It is recommended to return the vehicle to stock and take out the programmer if you have to take the vehicle to the dealership for any repairs or scheduled maintenance. view full answer...
When installing the wet bolts, like what comes with the Hanger Kit # APT4 that you referenced, we recommend tightening them down so that the knurls are no longer visible and then backing them off just a little bit. There is no torque rating for wet bolts and you are correct that if you tighten them down too much then it will "lock up" your suspension some. If you follow the procedure highlighted above you will have them tightened correctly. view full answer...
