Re: '71 Burb "Earl" suspension

FWIW.....If you use spindles and lowering blocks, the travel on your shocks will not be shortened as they will if you use shorter springs.....I mounted stabilizer bars from an 87 IROC camaro and my burb turns like a go-cart! I havent really done any towing (I've got a 94 dually for that!) but would do some kind of bagging if I was going to. Air-Lift claims they can set me up with in-the-coil bags for front or rear coils if called with measurements. My burb has 2.5 spindles on the front with one coil removed for about a five inch drop and, honestly, it's a little too low for normal use. I have stock truck ralleyes off an 88 van on the front (without ANY clearance issues) and similar 4x4 ralleyes (wide and offset) on the rear with 2" blocks..... I've got a CPP adjustable Panhard Bar and I'm unhappy with it..... First, It has cheezy plastic bushings that don't last and replacements are costly when they should be free because of the piss-poor design.... Also, it turns out that the adjusted bar on the 2" lowered rear is EXACTLY the same length as stock....so wasnt necessary!
