1978 GMC Suburban Suspension Reviews

1 review
The springs are supposed to be 4-6”. More like 4 or less. My blazer now sits several inches low in the rear even with no cab on the back. Disappointed to say the least. Also bought new u- bolts too. About 1/16 narrower than axle tube. Had to pinch them together with clamp to install. I was told they needed shim so I purchased separately. Showed up with shims installed so wasted money for those. Not pleased with the overall experience.
