Re: Daily Driving a Square Suburban
From experience it seems like a lot of the post square body Suburbans, while I agree RE daily driving comfort with 68Timber, seem to have gone to differential ratios more suited to highway driving. We had one at a museum I worked at for awhile, towed our work boat with it. When it came time to pull it out, I hit the gas expecting it to act like all the other, older Suburbans and Blazers I had driven, and then had to hit it harder to finally get it to move. But it got 20 mpg at steady cruise on the highway. Don't remember what engine it had other than V8.
Noticed in your original post pics of a trailer so thought I would throw that out there.
I will say I daily drove my 89 for over 10 years, and it got wearisome. I replaced the springs with new stock ones recently and my old back really appreciated the difference. But there's only so much you can do to a solid axle to help ride quality.
