Building a Bulletproof Squarebody Suburban: Community Input Requesting - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

**buffydores** · 09-04-2018, 02:55 PM

Hello Folks. I've been playing around with building a Squarebody Suburban into a daily driver. I have a lot of opinions, but I want some feedback from fellow squarebody lovers. Here are the areas for discussion.

1989-1991 Suburban

Ride Quality: What's the best you can do with solid axles. Would boxing the frame actually make the ride worse?

Engine/Transmission: I like the 6.0L L96/6L90E or 6.2L L86/8L90E combos on paper. 8.1L L18/4L80E??

Axles: Upgraded Dana 44 Front / Upgraded 14BSF(9.5") < Want to manage unsprung weight.

Obvious additions: Vintage Air / Bluetooth Radio
