Re: OK, Time to start planning my lift. ?'s (Long post)
I put a Tuff Country 4" EZ-Ride suspension on my '91 Suburban with Rancho RSX9000 shocks (adjustable) and 12.50/35 Goodyear MTRs mounted on 10" wheels. I really like this set-up. The springs are the longer 56" ones from factory. Shackle flip is cool,but you still have your tired old springs. My 'Burb rides real nice on softest setting with no sway even with 4-5 passengers (2 seats) and the cargo area full of tools. It rides just as well with just me and no tools. I go to full firm only when towing and that keeps it just right. I never messed with the 7 settings between. If I leave the shocks soft with a trailer I really feel the difference...very mushy with swap. If I set the shocks to firm without a trailer the suspension feels like a rock over speed bumps,etc. I keep the swap bar on the front and used a spacer. Oh...I didn't cut the fenders and the tires did bite the back of the front fenders. With stiffer springs and 8" wheels it probably wouldn't hit. Mine are still uncut,but kinda bent  .
