Heres an honest question... I have 2 Suburbans both lifted yet the rusted out one will be making its way to the junk yard shortly. Im in the process of removing the doors and other worth while parts. I do however want to remove the lift as i figure why not have spare suspension parts. I believe if I pull the shocks from the truck ill be able to support it with the leaf springs but what are my options if I want to take the leaf springs as well? I just want to have a way that a scrap truck will be able to remove it from my house any ideas?
 
I've done a couple vehicles that I wanted to keep suspension or axles out of. I always pulled everything thing I could except those part that would keep from rolling it around the loaded it one the trailer. Once on the trailer I would jack it up and pull everything else, then lower it till the frame laid on the trailer and strapped it down.
 
We used to just take the body off the frame at the junkyard,if the sheet metal parts were not worth saving--that way the rolling chassis could be left intact and moved around easier,and dissasembling it was easier when parts were sold off them too..though at home its a bit of work taking a body off in one piece,it can be done with a few heavy duty sawhorses and a floor jack and some timbers...(more than one K5 and Suburban I just used a huge maple tree branch 8" thick with a 2 ton chain falls to lift up the body enough to support it on two 55 gallon drums or sawhorses till I had enough room to roll the chassis out from under the body--then the trailer or ramp truck could be backed right under it)..

Its easier to hide a complete rolling chassis in your yard than all the separate parts in most cases...

A ramp truck will be able to pull anything up onto its bed with the winch,with or without axles or wheels...a few logs or pieces of pipe used as rollers makes it easier to drag up onto the bed,if the guy is worried about the bed getting scarred up,if its aluminum...

This ^. Call around to some scrappers to see if they care if it is rolling. Theyre all in clist adds around here. My brother, although alot smaller vehicle, parted out his RSX and left it on jack stands. Dude just backed his trailer up and winched it on. He got $75 and had absolutely nothing on it.
