Here's why....

-control arm bushings are cheaper for the rubber bushing type than the steel early type
-you'll save money since you can harvest the disc brake parts from the donor
-the factory 90 Suburban brake lines and hoses will bolt into your truck and fit better than anything you can make or buy aftermarket

What he said !!!!

Here's a stock height, all rebuilt Suburban crossmember under what was a 6-cyl '68 stepper. Used the 350 V-8 after all-stock rebuild, & the auto trans, too.

Lowering was planned, but life got in the way, and the truck went "bye-bye."

Another later, maybe.
