Re: Burb Lowered By Coilsprings

I don't have any pictures, but I do know that a truck with the same kit would look the same on a suburban. Take into concideration that a suburban has a little more wieght in the back. More roof, more glass. I hope this helps.

Re: Burb Lowered By Coilsprings

I have lowering springs but they are not installed yet. If you do get the springs make sure that you specify that you have a burb. You should get HD springs. If my box wasn't burried I would snap a pic.

Re: Burb Lowered By Coilsprings

I have TRUCK 4 inch lowering coils in the back... it needs a notch, big time. I can't even fart in it's general direction without the frame hitting the frame. (it's not even on the road yet either)
Bit it looks bad ass!

Re: Burb Lowered By Coilsprings

Did you do any mods to the suspension or chassis, other than placing the bags?
I am thinking of doing bags on mine but i dont want to mess with the chassis on the rear. I would like to know how low it gets that way.

I used a CPP bolt in C-notch, 1 1/2 lowering blocks, ECE adjustable trackbar and shock relocation kit. Check out my Suburban build thread for more information.
