72' Suburban VS. 72' Truck Suspension?
 
OK, I had a 72' 1/2-Ton SWB that had rear coils that I bagged a couple years ago. Now that truck is gone and I've Aqquired a 72' 1/2-TOn Suburban with Coils that I want to bag'.

Question is; are there, if any, differences between the suspensions on both trucks? As for when I order brackets are they any different?

Also, I ran Firestone #2600 bags in front and #2500 in back on the SWB truck, should I look to run a different bag on the Suburban? (Dont plan on towing).

Last Question-I am planning on going with ART brackets, Suicide-Doors for bags/valves etc, ECE for a track-bar kit, and then a CPP C-notch.

Is there any new compnies out there making anything else I would need to get the Suburban closer to the ground?

Any Help is appreciated guys! Thanks!

be careful mixing that ECE track bar and CPP's notch kit ... you will either need to run at least a 1 1/2" lowering block ... or mod the C-Notch.

I just went thru this and ended up using the 1 1/2" lowering block from CPP. Also, the C-Notch will require some mods, as well as the chassis, where the bag mounts if you happen to use the older style Firestone bags with the studs, as opposed to the tapped holes.

Hope this helps.
