I bought my Suburban with what I think is a 2/4 drop.

I use my truck as a driver/cruiser and occasional tow rig. Can I do a 4/6 from somewhere like ECE and still tow about 5klbs with 500lbs tongue weight? Is there another company that makes a better product/kit?

Is it as simple as a spindle/spring/shock swap to do a 4/6?

I searched, but didn't find the information I wanted on which springs would support enough tongue weight. I'm really clueless on this stuff, this is my first classic truck.

Thanks!
