Re: Let's see some 60-66 Suburban 4x4s.

Hey I have a question on suspension on these 4x4's. Did they use leaf springs on the front or did anyone try a leaf spring conversion on the front of one of these?

My brother helped a guy lift his 73 burb and put new leafs on the front for a better ride (more street use than off road), and I got to thinking if this would work on an early 60's model. May be just a dumb idea but if you dont ask you dont learn
