Thanks Mark, I just sold the truck this morning and I wish that the funds were going to the Burb but Uncle Sam has other plans for the money.....

BUT...I just finished lowering the back end! I picked the springs up a little earlier and after about 40 minutes of wrestling with rusty bolts, the springs bolted right up. Only, I think the suburban might be too heavy for them as the axle is resting on the bump stops now. Crap.

Do you guys have any ideas as to what to do next? Anybody ran into this problem with the Jeep springs?
