I buy the cheapest car I can find throw some cheap snow tires on it and drive that until spring. that brine will melt your truck into the asphalt before you can burn the tires off. Spray auto trans fluid all over the chassis works pretty good.

The forest service Green says I've been there and I would keep it. its cool with a hint of tree hugger; "kind of like a yellow vitamin of the B complex which is essential for metabolic energy production"

I had a 77 baby blue burb, (like the one Chevy shot up the Ohio state patrol in and made a get away). I lowered it with bell tech spindles and a set of shackles it rode great and I towed my camper with it. the shackles rubbed the fuel fill hose and I had trouble finding a replacement. I would plan on replacing the filler rubber once the new was there it was flexible enough to take the abuse from the shackle. I think a weight distribution hitch would improve the safety of the lower tow vehicle.

sweet truck if I see you on 68 ill be waving like a guy from Wyoming.
Hey neighbor! Yeah, I think we got pretty lucky when we chose Yellow Springs as our new home. The Suburban seems to have become a thing around town, too. It kind of fits in here, with that "hint of tree hugger" you mentioned, and draws a lot of attention and comments.

How much did you lower it front and rear? Thanks for the info on the fuel filler and advice on the hitch.

I always have half a dozen vehicles in my garage or driveway, so no lack of something to drive to keep the Suburban off the road in the winter. Unfortunately, I just made a deal to buy a '74 Porsche 914 that'll be taking up room in the garage next to the Scout, so now I'll have another vehicle I can't drive in the winter.

I look forward to seeing your hand flailing about as I drive by. If you're in town and see me, don't hesitate to stop me say hi.
