Re: 86 Suburban w/ 56k miles
I got the new Leafs and 2” drop shackles in. No pics yet. I think I only netted a 1.5” drop or so in actuality, but it’s enough for now I guess. I need to be able to tow my boat with this truck so doing an axle flip won’t be practical.
I decided not to put in the cam right now. I was only planning on spending $70 on the shackle kit, but ended up blowing close to $900 with new leafs and hardware. So that took the wind out of my sails for spending big money on the engine. Cam and proflo 4 will have to be next winter!
I did take the valve covers and intake off and cleaned everything up with paint and new gaskets. The valve cover gaskets were definitely due. Everything is back together now. I also installed a thrush welded muffler and love it! Sounds sooo much better.
