Newly acquired C20 suburban. 2/4 drop or leave stock?

[txaggie]

Howdy all!

I just acquired a really nice one owner C20 454 2wd suburban. I want to tow a travel trailer with it but cruise it as well.

Will a 2/4 drop compromise towing a 6-7k lb bumper pull?

@Old77 this reminds me of one of your Burby's, did you ever lower that one? I can't remember.

Yes. Was supposed to be 3/4 but ended up more like 5/5

No, you’ll be good! May want to add some helper bags for towing but you’d probably want that anyway IMO

Nice!!!

I have these 20” on the way and it sounds like a 2/4 is what’s in store!

txaggie, NICE truck!! Old77, what did you do to get that stance? I’m trying to figure out how I want to lower my dually without notching the frame.

One thing worth mentioning. I want to get a 6-8k lb bumper pull travel trailer. Will this 2/4 drop affect towing capabilities?

One thing worth mentioning. I want to get a 6-8k lb bumper pull; just curious if a 30 foot 7500lb trailer will be difficult this low.

As I said before, no it won’t. You’ll want to incorporate helper bags, tho

Western Chassis springs and spindles up front and leaf springs in rear

New guy here.

With all the drops on the suburbans what is the widest tire you can run with like a 4/6 drop?? I have a 86 C20 with a 454. The previous owner put 265/85r16 tires on it and they run when I turn so I was thinking of going to a 245/85r16 upfront but wanted to go a little wider in the rear just not sure how wide I can go once I lower it later this year?? Any advice would be greatly appreciated love all the pictures thanks in advance

What did you end up putting on the rear?
