'90 Burb 6" lift questions..best springs?? - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

I just bought a 90 suburban- want to lift it 6". What springs are going to give me the best ride- softest? Also are there any problems to watch out for? I lifted my 80 Blazer 5 years ago- just wonder if the Suburban's are different.

Thanks!!

Tuff Country EZ-Ride springs seem to have the best ride on the market right now. Heres a table for spring-rates, its for 4" springs though.

If I where putting on a lift I would use either tuff country or BDS. Both of these ride nice.

Thanks for the help- i'll probably do the softest springs since my wife doesn't want it "too bumpy"....
Thanks again!!

Superlift is the best riding spring out there right now. They have more leaves to resist sagging and for a better ride. The chart destructo posted is a old chart. I figured it was old because warn hasnt made springs in about 3 years. Skyjacker softrides are nice but alot of them sag if you wheel hard and/or run a big block or winch. On my truck I run superlift springs and love em.

Thanks for the info- I'm not going to do a lot of hardcore- wheelin- mainly just playin in the mud- it has a small block in it now. I'm looking for the best ride/comfort right now- my old Blazer had such stiff suspension that it just about rattled my fillings lose!!

Thanks-

P.S.- Wife says it has to be soft cuz she wants to drive it around town...lol
