90 Suburban leaf springs

Hey guys, I've been looking at lift kits and I've noticed that most kits just come with blocks for the back I would rather keep it with just on springs so I have less wrap up... Does anyone know of a kit that comes with bigger springs for the back, or is it possable to use a set of front springs on the back?

Re: 90 Suburban leaf springs

Try a spring shop. I use to run parts for a truck shop when I was in high school and had to have new springs built for trucks. The spring shop could build what ever we wanted.
I had the springs on my Jeep Wagoneer replaced as they had sagged in my life before my suburban. They worked out great.
Good old truck that wagoneer was...
Best of luck

I think there are some that make a lift kit with either new springs on the rear or for the smaller lift kits a "add-a-leaf" for your current springs. I'm with you I don't care for the blocks at all. Rancho, Pro-Comp among others...have you checked out what they offer? I would go with the re-arched springs on the rear over blocks if possible.

I found 2 kits one is by SkyJacker it comes with the springs in back up to 8" Tuff Country one, looks pretty much the same as SkyJacker but it looks like they only make them up to 6" lift

Re: 90 Suburban leaf springs

I have the Rough Country 6" lift w/rear springs on my 89' 1/2 ton. I like it. I would recomend if you use it for towing or mostly road use to get a rear stablizer bar. My friend has it on his and it handles better than mine on the road.

Re: 90 Suburban leaf springs

I just added a leaf to the front and rear and gained about 3 inches. I guess it depends on how much lift you want. If you go too much then the drive line will need work and the axles will need too be reset on an angle that does not have the drive line / u joints in a bind. All new neoprene bushings help lift it as well. Good luck.
