So i noticed the new DD is leaning to the driverside a little and it has 3/4 tank of fuel so that may be the issue. I tried to adjust the torsion bar on the driver to pick it up but didnt seem to do much and the pass picked up as well.

The rear leveling bags/shocks are shot and have holes in them so im gonna replace those with some new ones and buy some bilstein 5100 shocks for all 4 corners and have mounts welded in the rear to add the 5100's and keep the bags operational.

The plan is to add the 5100's and get some Z71 springs for the rear and grab some 2500 torsion bars for the front since the capacity is higher on them and this light truck wont make them sag as much. later throw a cognito leveling kit on the front to fix the gemotry issues from GM with their unequal a arms and throw a set of spacers on the rear.

My question is this: are the springs for a suburban heavier duty(stronger) than the tahoe springs or does the suburban use a leaf spring set up? I dont know about the leafs or not since i havnt looked under one but i believe its a leaf spring and wont fit. I just was wondering cause if it was a coil i would use it since they are heavier and the spring wold be stronger but i may just have to use a Z71 spring from a tahoe.

 

Half ton Suburbans and all Tahoes use coils in the rear. The 2500 series Suburbans have leaf springs in the rear, not sure of their capacity.

 

See thats what i was thinking, i spose i could use the coil from a half ton burb Z71 then if its made to fit a heavier vehicle and the torsion bars from a 2500 will fit the front of this with no problem. You figure the coil from a half ton burb is stronger than a tahoe?
