‘78 K10 Suburban Suspenders... er... Suspension!

[RyanAK]

Hey, Ryan. That rig looks great. I've never heard a negative about Deaver. I'm just not wanting to go 4". At most, I'd like my '78 to sit about as high as a stock K20.

But man... that is a good looking Suburban you got!

Cost is a consideration, but safety, comfort and helping with the sag are my driving factors. $1000 is doable, especially if I piece it together over time. First shocks, then springs. The ride is pretty plush unloaded right now, but I'm ok with things stiffening up a bit. Don't mind a 'truck' ride at all, just don't want my teeth rattling in my head!

The front I think I have set... stock springs and Bilsteins. Still thinking about bushing material, replacement shackles, or the ORD 1" zero-rate.

Rears... still up in the air. I like the idea of the progressive helper springs to eliminate sag and if I thought the existing leaf packs and bushings were ok, I'd try a set. But if I'm going to tear it out to replace bushings, I'd likely put fresh springs in. Bilsteins are a definite. Everything else is a thought exercise at this point.

Appreciate the input.
