I'd either replace all the springs with 3/4 ton stuff with an add-a-leaf in the rear or if there is a local spring shop that can rebuild them to your specs then go that way. Get some fresh shocks on the beast, then go after the steering. I'm on my third Suburban. Not going to be stupid with this one and sell it. Just doing the factory springs will lift that thing about 3''. And good grief....fix the exhaust leaks on that thing before you asphyxiate yourself
