Metrodps springs

[70jimmy]

Here are the springs. I wanted to make sure you saw them before I sent them out. I did notice one of the pads is missing, it must have popped out when I was wheeling. They do include the grease-able bolts and nuts and new bushings for in the frame. Just want to make sure they will fit the bill.

If anybody wants to give advice about whether they should be used on the suburban, fire away, I have thick skin.

They are 52" 3 inch lift springs, from Tuff Country.

I just wonder if his burb is set up for 52's in the rear, or 56's? or was 56's strictly a 2 wd gig in the burbs?

props to you btw...

I was wondering the same thing.
And yeah Hope they work out!

According to Tuff Country if the Burb has 52" they will work I need to measure them Monday bolt hole to bolt hole right? Since I have to get new bolts from ORD do they have the Pad?

For the sake of info, Ratzila had a '90 light duty 3/4 ton 4wd Sub factory w/ 56's.

no, not hole to hole.. follow the curve of the spring...

ok, so it's not 2wd specific and could be an issue...

I wouldn't want to run them unless you can find a place to re-curve them to proper specs.

So are they not safe or no good or what? I have no knowledge on this lify and spring area.

They are bent or if shape and probably not level any more. Some companies can re arch them. I would shop the pics around with one of those companies for an opinion before having them shipped to see if they are worth the effort.

They are bent.

Look ok to me

What Kenny is referring to is the gap between the main (top) leaf and the one below it in the first pic I assume.

This is why I took the pics so you could see them before hand. I am not qualified to know whether that is a problem or not. After you get opinions from those in the know just tell me if you want them. If you do I will ship them out. If not no biggie.

those springs have been road hard .

the main leaf on bottom pack is bent bad on the one compared to the top pack . its bent down .

and the top pack has a wave in the main leaf also .

not trying to be a bad guy here but the rig will sit funny and the springs are bent . rearch might work and might not .
