Suburban lowering question
Will the lowering kits for 84-87 fit on the 89? If so, what kit do you use? If not, what kit do you use? TIA

Re: Suburban lowering question
Kits for 73-88 or what ever the change over is will work.
Being a Burb you should 1.25 inch rotors. I would do spindles before coils depending on how low you desire to go. |

Re: Suburban lowering question
89-81 suburbans are the same as the 73-87 burbs.
Also mentioned you should have the 1.25” rotors. I had a 91 burb lowered with 4” drop leaf springs. You will need to shim the carrier bearing mount to help with driveshaft length. I had drop spindles and springs up front. I see a lot of people using flip kits on the rear. TinWorks Fabrication make a bolt in c-notch with the “suburban only” body mount built in. This gets you axle clearance, but also gets the center section of the rearend close to the bed floor. Good luck with your build.

Re: Suburban lowering question
Lower it just a couple of inches with spindles and shackles, it wide ride the same and look nice with your wheel and tire combination.

Re: Suburban lowering question
I told you wrong.
These were 4” drop leaf springs.

Re: Suburban lowering question
No kit.
They were Chisholm Leaf Springs, (out of business now) I would use Western Chassis if you want drop leaf springs. I thought a flip kit would be too low and no one made a bolt-in c-notch back then. Belltech 3” drop spindles and 2” drop springs. Belltech nitro drop shocks with rear shock extenders. 15x7 and 15x8 rally wheels. 215/70-15 and 275/60-15 tires.

Re: Suburban lowering question
Standard C10 lowering stuff up front.
Tinworks c-notch & flip kit out back. Swap a lift shackle in place if the flip is too much.
