OT Ride and Handling Help
I have a 93 Burb ( I know this is a 91 & under board ) but I thought You guys might be able to help.
My Burb rides like a boat. I want to put in new shocks for starters and want to know of any recommendations for shocks. Are there any other easy mods to make it ride like a truck and not like my dad's Park Ave Buick This truck has front and rear sway bars and supposedly a towing kit ( but I don't see a tranny cooler) What does a towing package involve ? Any help is appreciated. |

I'm thinking of installing the Edlebrock shocks in mine. They sound like they are the ticket, but I dont have any experience...

After a bit of investigation, I found a broken swaybar mounting bolt on the driver side front. I fixed that and added 5psi to the rear tires and it drives much much better. I think new shocks will make it even better

I've been so impressed with them that I recently put a set on my '98 Jeep Wrangler. They work like a champ on the Jeep, too! No more getting thrown about like a rag doll... They're pricey, but they do work as advertised. Good luck!

I'm running Bilstiens on my 88 and I am VERY impressed with them. Little pricy but it was worth it. Autozone can get them but it's a special order and takes a couple day's.
A rear sway bar is next on the list for mine. Couple companies make them. J.C. Whitney lists them. Helwig is the brand I been looking at.
