I'd like to raise my old girl (68 suburban c20)up to be level front to back. I'm looking at moog 6102 for the front and either cc603 or 6101 for the rear. I tow our trailer once or twice month for camping but other than that she's daily driver suggestion on springs would help guys Thanx

Is the trailer hooked up in the 2nd photo? Front springs should be the same as most C20 pickups. 70-72 BBC trucks should have the highest spring rates.

The rears will have some what higher spring rate than a pickup due to the heavy weight of a Burban. They may be harder to find today with most vendors only selling "one size fits all" parts.

Does your truck have the auxiliary or overload springs? You might look into a set if not. They should give you a nicer ride when unloaded and still allow you to haul/tow a good amount.

I have them in rear but I'd like to just go to stock height all around. Some campsites we hit aren't made for lowered trucks 😂

When I replaced the springs on my C10 suburban, I used Moog 6082 for the front and Moog 6101 for the rear. Both provide a nice ride for the suburban.

I don't know that the big block springs are what you want, at least not C20/C30 big block springs. Guys in the past have used these springs to raise the front of these trucks for bigger tires/offroad.

What's your current set up? Drop spindles and 1964 C10 Suburban springs?

I went with the heavy duty springs they offered on rockauto I love the ride height much better it's time for rear sway bar now. I towed this weekend and it felt little squirrelly but could be the road I was on to
