hi I'm new on the board. so I have some question for you guys. what do you guys recommend for an lift kit for my 90' GMC Suburban 2500 3/4 ton model....I'm looking to clear 36" X 12.50 R16 also what back spacing do you recommend for the rims??? and what gear ratio do you recommend???

smokkey1 11-18-2003 10:46 PM

well so is anybody going to help me out....I want to clear 36' tires should I go with full springs in the back.....or use an shakle flip and use my stock rear springs to get an 6" lift or what??? what brand do you guys think I should go with for an complete lift kit???? help out fellow suburban brother I'm new to these size truck's... I'm use to jeep's so this is a whole different game for me....

Welcome!

Are you wanting to go for a cheep kit or not? If you are wanting to stay cheep I would just get a Rough Country or simmilar kit for around 400 to 500. It will have blocks and helper springs in the back. It comes with everything needed. Im not sure if just a 6 inch kit will clear 36 inch tires so you may need a body lift too. Anything over 6inch suspention will cost alot.

Use standard backspacing. As for lift brand, I would choose Tuff Country, as their spring rates are less than the Rough Countrys which ride RUFF!!! Check out Off Road Design, they sell the TC front springs for like $200, and the rears for $360.

thanks alot guys....I've been looking around the past 2 weeks but just not sure which kit to go with. I want to go with full spring in the rear, I don't really trust lift blocks... going to check ORD in an while..............

I think I'm going to go with the ORD 4" flip in the rear and 1" zero rate and the front 4" TC springs and 1" zero rate and hopefully I'll clear 36" tires if not I'll go with 35" tires
