    Unlock barn doors from inside

    Thanks for the suggestion mibars, as soon as I get more important issues addressed I’ll remove the panel and take a look inside the door to see if I can make something like that work.

    Unlock barn doors from inside

    I saw a post somewhere where someone had installed a mechanism to unlock and open the barn doors from the inside. Would someone please point me in the right direction for this mod. Thanks, Steve

    Zelph, thanks for that information. I’ll keep that information in mind in case I decide to change springs.

    V1500 suspension question

    Since this is a new to me vehicle I have taken it to be serviced top to bottom, front to back, however on the way to the shop it was bouncing all over the road. They are installing Bilsteins and when I get it back I’m having the 20” wheels and tires replaced with 31x10.5-15 on OE wheels so I...

    V1500 suspension question

    Zach, That’s the kind of information I need. I’m not interested in a soft ride but definitely am concerned about spring failure. I’m prepping this ride for the Hot Rod Power Tour and definitely don’t want to deal with preventable issues on the road. Next question is 5 leaf (what’s on it now) or...

    V1500 suspension question

    No lift block in front. Spring sits on top of the axle. The rear spring must be sagging because when I measure the height of the wheel arch opening the rear is 1/2” higher than the front but it has been noted that the rear wheel arch is actually lower than the front by a couple of inches...

    V1500 suspension question

    Actually just trying to make it easier for my ancient body to get in and out. I have ordered a set of nerf bar style running boards but in the meantime I am trying to figure out just what suspension setup I have. Based on all the comments I have concluded that the rear springs have saged and the...

    David, my old eyes really can’t make out anything in that picture but is yours a V 1500 or 2500?

    V1500 suspension question

    I think you guys may be on to something. I just checked General spring and they show two rear springs, a 5 leaf rated 2000 lbs. and a 7 leaf rated 2300 lbs. My burb came equipped with heavy duty trailing special equipment package which I would guess would be the 7 leaf spring. Does the arch look...

    V1500 suspension question

    Keith, here are pictures of the front and rear springs. There looks like a 4”ish gap between front spring and the bump stop which I think would be normal. The rear has a 3”ish block but the rear wheel arch opening is only 1/2” higher than the front. I can see that removing the block at the rear...

    V1500 suspension question

    I have a new to me 1990 V1500 Suburban. The front springs have a reverse arch and are on top of the axle and the rear springs are sitting on a 3-4” block above the axle. Is this the factory setup? Thanks, Steve

    Drop 4x4?

    Folks I'm getting on up in years (80) and finding it more and more difficult to get into my 1990 V1500. Is there a way to lower the Suburban 2-4”. The rear has a block between the spring and axle but I can’t see any reasonable way to lower the front. I would appreciate any suggestions if...
