Suburban springs - 3/30/2007 9:20:27 PM

My 1994 Suburban 1500 is used a lot for towing and the springs have become a little weak. What's the best way to help it a little. I was thinking of using Super Springs but was also wondering if the 2500 springs would fit. If I use super springs should I replace the original springs first? Any thoughts? THanks, Mark

the 2500 spring swap would be 100% better than getting the super spring if you do alot of towing. measure someones 2500 springs and see if the measurements line up with your own. if they line up, go for it, it might make your ride a little rougher but in a suburban i dont think it would be too bad due to all the weight over the rear axle.

Kram5949,
I would take it to a spring shop and have them re-arch and add leafs to the springs. I have done this a couple of times on different vehicles. Most spring shops know what to do if you explain to them what you are trying to do. That way it won't ride like a lumber wagon when you aren't towing!!!!

Good Luck, Dondobe
