To Lower or Not To Lower
 

Hey guys,
I am fighting the urge to to lower my burb. I currently have it on Ebay but if the reserve is not hit I am gonna keep it. I was thinkin smaller tires and new drop coils only maybe the 3"/4" set up. I dont want to have to put new spindels or cnotch.
What do you think..

Drop it!!!!!!!

Re: To Lower or Not To Lower
 

It doesn't need lowering, it needs 'whitewalls'!

Re: To Lower or Not To Lower
 

SLAM IT!!!

If it were mine, I would do spindles and springs up front, just keep your old stuff incase you want to go back. It's a very simple swap. Then just lowering springs the rear, I think you can lower these 4-5 inches w/o needing a notch. That and add some air shocks so you can adjust as need w/o having something permanent bolted/welded to the frame.

OK..
Question if I do 3" drop coil and 3" drop spindle does it go down 6" total? Sounds like a stupid question but I have never done spindles

Re: To Lower or Not To Lower
 

Yes, but you can't go 6 inches in the front like that. The most you can probably go is 4.5. Which means you'll need a 2.5 in Drop Spindle and a 2 inch coil. Then you can go with a 5 inch rear and air shocks like SBTork stated. Then you can adjust the rear shocks so that you don't have to cut the frame for a C-Notch.

put it on da ground!!!

Personally, I like the stock height on the Suburbans - good look and nice for occasional light off-roading. Your Suburban in particular looks great - I vote leaving it as is!

Re: To Lower or Not To Lower
 

Drop it!!
If given a choice, I would always go with spidles first and fine tune with coils second. And, if she were my Burb it would be 4/6 drop and drive the wheels off of it!

Re: To Lower or Not To Lower
 

Have a look at Early Classics catalog it gives examples to see how the drop kits look

I like it the way it sits now as well. I'd paint the wheels silver and call it done.

Slam it!!! :D

Re: To Lower or Not To Lower
 

I'm suspicious of lowering jobs when I'm buying a vehicle and confirm that they never quite drive as nice or as easy as stock. Lowering is something I'm unlikely to agree to pay a premium for, but that I'll also spend "full-pop" for parts to do properly myself.
More buyers will consider it at stock height and you wont have lowering costs to recover.
I love the color of your burb and would bid if I had the money to win! Good luck to you!

Re: To Lower or Not To Lower
 

No.

Re: To Lower or Not To Lower
 

Lower it.

Re: To Lower or Not To Lower
 

Lowering is for late 70's-80s cars. hahaa j/k... Do whatever you want. If you have it for sale now must mean your bored of it. So like you said if it dont sell then change the stance up and that might be the key to keeping it. I personally like stock height now. Just easier to work on and to use it the way it should but I seen alot of people use bags and they have the heavy duty stuff to make it functional for loading. I say bags are best over any lowering coils. Just all depends. ENjoy.

Re: To Lower or Not To Lower
 

GO Low.

Re: To Lower or Not To Lower
 

Hey Areohbe ...

Whatever you do ... your Burb will look sweet :metal:

Re: To Lower or Not To Lower
 

It looks great the way it is :chevy:

Re: To Lower or Not To Lower
 

bag it!!

Re: To Lower or Not To Lower
 

Drop it!

Re: To Lower or Not To Lower
 

Best of both worlds: bag it. That way you can go to stock height, or put it on the ground. My Stepside is that way: fully lifted to stock height, then lay it on the ground. Check the video in my sig for action

Here is a poor whitewall 'paint' look.
Maybe someone can do a photoshop one for a cleaner look.
