Re: The Pig Rig!

Nice job!

I have a 1991 Suburban sitting around. It runs good but needs some work: steering box, new rear springs, etc.

Somebody suggested I find an entire set of 3/4 ton axles and springs and just "bolt them in." Ha - nothing is ever that simple //wink

I mean, it should be that easy, the springs are the same length, and the front axle is the same up to the knuckles. you'd need a rear driveshaft, and a maybe a master cylinder. the real hard part would be getting the brake lines apart without breaking anything.
