Re: What did you do to your Suburban Today?

Today I finished replacing all four leaf springs. When I originally bought the suburban it had a six inch lift. I was not happy with the way it looked or drove. Also I could not get it in the garage. I installed a two inch Easy ride leaf kit . With the two inch lift I was able to get it in the garage however as the kit was called easy ride the ride was not. So now oem style leafs are installed ride quality is 100 percent better. Plus my wife can now easily get in. When I removed the big lift kit I thought easy swap. Replace springs done. I was wrong. After lowering truck off stands I noticed both drive shafts had no splines showing on the slip yokes. Also shocks were bottomed out. So two new custom tom woods drive shafts plus four shocks and a factory steering arm,try to find a stock three bolt open knuckle steering arm not easy as most were tossed when these trucks were lifted. Back on the road very happy with the way it drives.
