1989 Suburban 2500 ???'s

ok, talk about some serious frustration at this point!! I have had this Burban for two months now, and have yet to have anyluck finding exactly what I'm looking for concerning the suspension. ALL I WANT IS A 5/7 DROP KIT!!  I"ve been on multiple sites and have had no luck calling different places either. It's a 1989 Chevrolet Suburban 2500 with an 8 lug bolt pattern and a 454, how hard can it possibly be? Someone out there has to know or even have a clue who makes a drop kit for this thing. I've had one place recently tell me that I will have to change up my running gear to a 1500 or 1 ton setup, this is crap, SOMEONE PLEASE HELP!!!

Thanks for the help Big Will we'll see what this place says about this in the morning. I hope I can get this set up, but won't get my hopes up too much! Someone out there has the same set up and may have been through the same issues, really need some insight from someone with this same type vehicle all the way around to throw in thier two cents, HELLO, are you out there?

---------------------------------------------Originally posted by KroniclesEdited: 6/15/2009 1:28:23 PM by KroniclesSo I picked up this Burban last week and I'm contemplating what all I want to do with it. Big problem I'm seeing is that since it's a 3/4 ton I have an 8 lug pattern vice the normal 6 lug, can I change this? I also have a big ass 454 in this beast, unsure of the tranny as of yet, but I'm thinking of finding a newer drivetrain for this bad boy. If I do this will I have to change out my rear axle as well? I'm thinking of just finding a 350 with a 4 gear tranny vice the 3 gear that's in it now. How hard will this be, are these fairly easy to accomplish if I try and go this route? Lastly is the interior, can I take a dash from say a 60's or 70's chevy and swap it in? The seats are decent now, but I want to upgrade to something a little more comfortable like some of the 90's models I've been in in the past. Question here is what year 9? can I go with and it be simple swap without having to do a whole new set of holes. So maybe that wasn't lastly, the suspension is now the ??? I want to keep it simple, but also give it decent drop. I'm thinking a 3/5 but haven't been able to find a kit anywhere just yet. Also what is the best way to go about this, springs, drop spindles, drop shackles, etc? I know this is a lot of ?'s but honestly this is my first real truck project and I want to make sure I do it right. Thanks for any insight or advice ahead of time!!!I have whatever you need.  www.airbagit.com " target="_blank" rel="nofollow">www.airbagit.com  including wheel adapters.  www.airbagit.com " target="_blank" rel="nofollow">www.airbagit.com  tx Joe MorrowOscar
