Re: What did you do to your Suburban Today?

Thanks for any insight- Brian
All of the above.
A little background on the suspension. Bagged all around with 2.5 drop spindles with front and rear sway bars.
All of the additions made it handle better than stock, but sometimes it could get a little loose around curves or when caught in a little grove in the roads and when the roads are wet and the truck was lowered a lot.
When we lower these trucks to much the rear end will pull to the drivers side because of the stock pan hard bar being bolted to the axle and the driver side frame.
It would get a little scary sometimes, more so when I am running my narrower winter wheels and tires.
So yes, this keeps the track straighter which helps everything (sway bars) to work so much better.
I highly recommend adding a long one if you are bagged or very low.
I hope this answers your questions.
