Re: Leaf Spring to Rear Trailing arm swap

Definitely going to need a panhard bar. I was thinking of making one that goes from the frame rail to the opposite side trailing arm to limit the side to side movement of the diff as much as possible.

Sorry no pics yet. Im still waiting on the axle saddles to come in. I did put the arms under the rear end and ratchet strapped them the under side of the axle. The factory trailing crossmember is the correct width to fit the frame and it going to end up within a inch or so to where the 91 Suburban carrier bearing crossmember is. Everything is so close I'm going to have to remove the 91 crossmember to test fit it further. The Suburban us my daily driver so I have to make sure I have everything I need before I break it down.

I'm wanting to do air suspension. What size bags should I use? On the front I'm just planning on putting the bag in the factory spring location. In the rear I'm going to put it on the inside of the frame rail about in the middle of the trailing arm.
