72 1/2 ton Suburban 4x4 lift questions.

[Travisarmenta]

Anyone clearing 33-35s with a 4 inch lift?

Which one?

Did it come with F/R springs?

I like the RC 4 inch because its under 500 bucks, but it only comes with front springs.

Has anyone bought this kit and purchased additional springs? where?

Thanks for any info fellas.

No fitment issues

Did you use the stock springs?

I know 100% that I need to replace all four Springs

The 12612 kit has 4 springs/u-bolts and shocks. I did add 1" block to the rear to level the Suburban out. ORD that Andrew linked to sells Tough Country. Even though these are "EZ Ride" springs I would not call them plush.

The wheels are OE but have been widened out to 10"

4" lift with 33x12.5. Front is springs rear is blocks. PO installed but I believe it is a Rough Country lift. I will be removing soon in favor of a 2" lift with a shackle flip from ORD. Personal preference is all...

I run 35's on my Jimmy with a 4" lift. It has Rancho springs in the front and National springs in the rear. I started out with blocks in the back (2 1/2") combined with an add-a-leaf. But the 35's combined with 4.10 gears and the 4 speed bent the perches on both sides.

I R&R'd the perches and added the springs. That was 25 years ago and that's still the combo on it today.

I know Special K and I have debated it, but my experience with blocks has not been good and I would encourage springs all the way around.

BUT, with that said, I have an '86 K30 dually. 454, 4 speed that I bought a Superlift 3 1/2" kit for and in order to keep payload and overloads in place, will run blocks. YMMV....

That's a good looking set up

I like that green, Hope the 2" looks this good.
