1990 Suburban 2500 for 4wd to 2wd reference
Is there any difference in the the 2wd suspension from a 2500 Suburban that will hinder me from using it as reference for a 4wd to 2wd conversion on a 86 Jimmy? I plan on installing a Porterbuilt dropmember and components in the Jimmy so i wont actually use anything off of the Suburban, just need it for measurements.

If you are planning on doing a 1/2 ton Blazer then I would say "yes".
The 3/4 ton 2wd suspension and the 1/2 ton 2wd suspension are entirely different animals. K

Re: 1990 Suburban 2500 for 4wd to 2wd reference
I would say no. I wouldn't trust it enough to make any committing decisions.
They're both 2wd - that's where the similarity ends. Different frames, different crossmembers, different A arms, different brake sizes, different packaging, etc. K

I don't think so.
I could be wrong but I think the frame shape and control arm attaching points are different between the two. K
