Does anyone know if a 2wd SS has torsion bars like the VHO's or coil springs.
is it lowered from the factory like an AWD SS .

thanx dave

 

they have coil front springs and are lowered and seems to come in ls trim, not lt[ no leather etc] if they are on coil spring suspension they should sit even lower than the t/bar set up and should look good
canadian $ retail is less than i paid for my lt last year. i may see if gmac will flip my lease, be nice to have one with the same or lower payment.

i thought they had torsion bars.

 

I stand corrected, they are g60 suspension with front t/bars.
The dealer is going to see what he can do for me as for as a lease flip goes, here's hoping..
be nice to have one for the same payment I have now.

The VHO and 2wd SS have the exact same suspension. Torsion bars up front and leafs in back.

I like the lowered look. Do you think if I put 2" shackle or hanger kit on the rear and turned down the t/bars about 2" up front this would work without a ride quality issue. would the front fenders clear the front tires.
If not, I have 265" on my current truck that may work.
I am going to order this truck, none around..gotta be black
Only expected mods are lowering, cat back and tune and I may keep it for a long time , I love the look, best on the road. although my 04 is nice I just like the SS, it's nice to have s/thing different.
If I keep it , if will go FI sooner than later.
Have you done anything with the t/bars,
also 3.73 or 4.10's
rear disc or drum

The fenders will clear the front tires but it will not ride like stock. My dad cranked his torsions about 2" and he lost a little bit of his ride. (not much but its noticeable)

I haven't messed with my torsion bars yet, my plans are 2" spindle and 1" with the torsions and 2" shackle and 2" drop leafs. I am changing my tires to a 275/45/20 or 295/45/20.

The 2wd SS has 3.73s and rear drum.

I think Belltech makes torsion keys to help drop the front also...I think the keys are good for about 2", and maybe another 1" from de-cranking...not sure how many guys have tried this route or how the ride is affected though.

 

Keys will bring your tortion bar suspension down about an inch with no change to ride charateristics. Go with McGauys they're cut the same as belltechs and have a better powder coating on them for $50 less. If you want 2 inches of drop, belltechs spindles are choice! Combine both for a full 3" drop, with very few complications. You will need to buy new front shocks for your stance.
