smooth suspension

[aknight_sa]

hi all,

what is the best suspension that fits onto the 1981 GMC Jimmy that will make it ride smoothly onroad and works good offroad?

thanks

how much lift? shackle flip will keep a "smooth" ride

i love my 63" springs in the rear...really soft. and i heard the 52s in the front are really smooth too. but if your not into cusom work then i cant really help you. but in the rear dont get lift springs, use ORD or DIY4X shackle flip.

Tuff Country EZ ride, Skyjacker is second...that I know of

i dont want to get into lifting it.. if i have to do so then it will be a few inches...

My jimmy is on its standard.. not lifted at all...


one more thing.. i want to order online.. so please direct me to where i can buy them..

Just get a 2" lift kit, then. Not too much lift to cause any problems.

To order...

a friend told me that lifting the car will make the car loose its balance offroad faster and turn over..

is this true?

2"??? No. I have 7" total and I've never had a problem.

if you drive smart and also know the limits of the truck then it will be safe.
