Does anyone know how much higher(if any) a 3/4ton Suburban sits vs a 1/2ton? Just trying to see what kind of difference I would see with brand new 3/4 springs(front and rear) vs my worn half ton springs. Thanks!

Bought this a few months ago, 1983 Suburban 1/2 Ton 6.2 diesel. Ended up being $200 after I sold some of the spare parts it came with(couldn't pass it up). I plan to buy all new 3/4 ton springs, 32" ST Maxx tires, and replace the 6.2 with a mechanical 6.5 turbo. Other than that just little...

I'm planning on replacing the 6.2 with a turbo 6.5(mechanical). I've done the lube the leafs trick and agree it does quite down and smooth out. I've always liked the way it rides better than with dry springs. Does anyone have a hub to fender measurement on a stock k10 vs k20 Suburban? I want...

Looks good from the ad. Only thing I don't like is the 5speed. The automatics are practicly bomb proof in these things while the manuals are so-so. I'm not saying you'll have problems but they're definiely not a strong point. Other than that these things are great vehicles, I've had one for...

Just took another look at your pics, does that have leather interior? If so could you post pics of the interior. I bought a parts rig for my 89 that ended up having leather so I swapped it over. Just wondering because mine was the first time I've ever seen a 1st gen w leather except for a...
