Suspension Lift 84 K20 Burb Recommendations
 

I am in the market for a 2.5"- 4" suspension lift for my suburban. I don't get hardcore into rock crawling, but I do go off road often, mostly snow. At stock height, I tend to push alot of snow, which ends up bogging me down. I also tow a 7500 lb trailer sometimes, so I need to stay away from the body lift, right?
Any recommendations or ideas are much appreciated.:flag:

Unless I am missing something, a body lift will not affect what you can pull. The hitch is mounted to the frame, not the body and the body is just put up a little bit higher on spacers. A body lift won't care if you pull a trailer or a house, it's the suspension that might get mad at you for that.
Sorry, can't help you with what lift to get.

I have a Rancho Lift an it is stiff as %$#&! I have heard good things about superlift. What tires are you planning on running? If you get bigger tires, you'll need to make sure that it can handle the load too.

I have a sky jacker 6" and it seems like a good kit and have never had any problems with any other sky jacker lifts but i cheaped out and didn't get rear springs but the blocks instead. With pulling a trailer i would definatly get an all spring lift

I plan on sticken with 33x12.5 tires. It's a 3/4 ton, and has pretty tough looking spings in the rear, but I imagine they have sagged in the last 19 years. Should I get an add-a-leaf in the rear, or new springs all together?
Thanks for all the info. I havn't figured out which one yet. Will let you know when I do.
I can't post a before pic, don't know why (tried several times to attach file, only 76KB)

If you can afford them , rear springs are the way to go. I tried a set of add-a-leafs once and they were
very rough.

super lift makes what they call a softride lift kit,, works really well had a softride 8 inch setup with rear springs on an 83 with 37 inch boggers,, rode like a caddy and gave plenty of flex for those steep snow drift angles

high country
 

we have a 71k 20 with 6in high country easy ride sus and 3in body that ive haulled all the building suplies for my shop in. the heaviest load was 30 90lb bags of concrete. the rear leafs came down about 2in and the stearing was a little floaty. the ride is nice at speed but dont hall ass over a speed bump
