This is what I plan to do:

The problem is that most people think the HD springs are still too soft.

I haven't seen much feedback on these. Not sure if there's any other option. I will likely add some type of adjustable shock as well.

Initially I was going to do air ride, I bought bags and brackets for the front and rear. After pricing all the air management stuff I decided to go with drop springs instead.

Unfortunately it will be 1-2 years before my Suburban is on the road, so I have no actual experience with these springs.
