Suburban suspension swap
Hello, I am new to this site. I have searched all over the net for a Suburban related forum. Looks like this is it! Now, on to my question...
I just bought an old, worn out 80 Suburban (always wanted one of these). It is a 2 wheel drive. I have a rebuilt engine and tranny going in soon, but my question is about the suspension. The primary function of this rig is going to be towing a double axle car trailer. This vehicle seems to sit pretty low (the running boards make it seem even lower, but the vehicle itself is low). I have located a 1-ton rear axle and springs for a reasonable cost. Will this be a bolt-in? What should I look out for? How far can I expect it to raise the rear of the truck (unloaded)? Assuming this swap will work, and assuming it will raise the rear, what can be done to raise the front? A buddy suggested maybe using front springs from a diesel truck. Would this do the trick? |
