I need to find out what trucks have the 56" rear leaf springs to use in the rear of my suburban, I need to move my rear axle back 2-3 inches so I figured longer leafs would be the bast way, any help would be appreciated

And you wouldn't like to share what you learned? I use this site to give as well as get info to and from my friends.

Sorry I wasn't trying to hold back anything, its more I figured out that two of my other trucks had them, both 1/2ton 4x4s 85/82, and my 89 4x4 burb has 52s, and my 87 Sub frame 2wd had 56s( just no springs were there so I didn't know what it had),, so what I learned is the only way to really know is to measure them, wish I could give a better answer
