Slamming a Suburban
 
2 Attachment(s)
I’m looking at a 90 3/4 Tom big block suburban.. I’m romanticizing about slamming it as low as the one pictured, but obviously it is 1/2 ton. Is it possible to make it happen without converting all the suspension to 1/2 to stuff? Pic of the possible acquisition too, it is 2wd.

I have been looking into this as well.
Looks like

https://westernchassisinc.com/Chevy-...prings-Kit-56/

Has parts to drop a 3/4 2wd Suburban. Looks like reare leafs and shackles would get about 6” in the rear and springs/spindles would get about 5 1/2” in the front.

It's possible to get them low. Not sure you'll get that low w/o air suspension though.

Alternative sources for lowering parts are Switch Suspension or maybe http://instagram.com/builtbybrooks

Well I pulled the trigger on this 1989 3/4 last night! It’s not the intial one I was looking at, this one is in way better shape and was cheaper. This is the only pic I have at the time. I still need to go get it, and tell my wife I bought it

I’ll be following along. Can’t wait to see how you go about lowering it.

Anyone know who makes the wheels on the blue and gray suburban?

Luckily I’m not in sales! They’re super cool, but you’re right fairly pricey and pretty heavy from my understanding, but some of the coolest wheels right now in my opinion!
