Kwmech,

Running 265/75-15, Mastercraft, Courser A/T 2

RDrancher,

So, based on your information, I did not have rear squat in the first place since I was measuring off the fender wells.

But, this is starting to sound like I'm looking at Kim K's backside. Depending on how I looked at, it appeared it was either level or had some droop in the rear!

So, take the zero-rate out, and that should put the Suburban back level per factory specs. or did they come new with a little rake?

Getting ready to replace all the spring bushings in both the front and rear springs which could change it a little either way.

Just really like it when you see an old Suburban with what I call a nice "stance", not jacked up real high in the rear or sagging, but nice and level.

I'm known for trying to make things to perfect, then screwing it up!

Guess the question would also be then, did Suburbans come level? A little rake? Or squat in the rear?

Update:

I think, I found my answer
