Our suburbans(73-91) have the same suspension as the 73-87 pickups. Get ahold of Fabtech Suspensions and look for a lift kit for the 73-87 C-10. They wont have a listing for the suburbans. They have the best lift kits for the 2wd. Hope this helps.

do you like the fabtech basic kit. I was wondering if the long travel was really worth it just for basic driving and hopefully some fun stuff later. It definetly improves the look i like it on yours aggiedave

well, it really depends on $$. The 3" basic is just a stronger spring (compresses less, but it's the same height as the original one) and a ball joint spacer.
It was hard for the guy to get the alignment done b/c the geometry is changed. It drives pretty well. If it's just for the street, I think it's a good choice. Not sure if offroading would really make the long travel a better choice. glad you like the burb... I do. |

there are a number of ways to do this. you could go with a 3" lift spring or coil spring spacer. the addition of the ball joint spacers helps the alignment problem a bit. you can also go with tubular control arms, though i am not sure how much this helps anything except looks. the rear is easy, you could go cheap and go with blocks, new lift springs, or a shackle flip. you could also just do a body lift.

well flip it...
 aggie this wont fix your problem....you can either cut a slot in the original bracket and put the shackle down, instead of up, you can use a spring mount from the front of the rear springs as a rear shackle hanger, or you can buy a kit that already has the hanger made... do a search in the 4x4 forum here, or go to coloradok5.com and do a search there you will find a load of things. |
