My suburban is to low in the front!!!!!!

I bagged the front, 2 1/2 dropped spindles and ART strong arms. Front a-arms lay on the ground and tires hit the inner fenders, but it looks good. However the rearend is stuck up in the air like Joe Dirt's Charger!! Guess I'm going to have to C-notch the rear and add 2 1/2 blocks!! Does anyone know who makes a bolt in C-notch kit for the 67-72 suburbans? I'll try to post pictures tomorrow.

I thought I would need the blocks to get the ride height correct. Do you have pictures of yours?

Ok, so it's safe on aftermarket arms. I didn't see how it could work on stock arms with out rubbing.

BTW- Can you look at this and answer how your hood was done- here

So it's looking somthin like this :



I used 2.5" blocks in the rear with no notch. It rides pretty close to the bumpstops but does't seem to hit them that I can feel. I do plan to notch it, but just a small one is all it should need. There's on I've seen that has built in upper shock mounts. I'll see if I can find it. Here's what it looks like with the blocks:



Also, don't use blocks bigger than 2.5" with stock size wheel/tire combo. The arms are low enough with 2.5" (I can't go through automatic car-washes because the U-bolts/nuts drag the track). Here's a bolt-in from classic performance link

New can crusher!! I belive the bumper would go to the ground if it tires weren't hitting the inner fenders (and the lower a-arms touching the ground! ).

Corn,

No worries on the molding. Probably C-notch and Blocks.

ok so you have no lower cup in the front are you still using stock arms? i heard i could do it this way but im afraid of rubbing. i bought a lower plate to sit in the arm.
