[QUOTE="Marky Dissod, post: 24665, member: 13218"] NOT gonna use my '02 Tahoe Z71 to tow anything anytime soon (although of course I'd use a weight distribution hitch setup!). How much does 46 rolls of Kentucky BlueGrass weigh? That's how much I hauled Friday the 8th, and I'm extremely likely to do something like that again. No room to adjust height upward AT ALL, will lose access to too many NY / NJ / CT garages. (Lowering even 1.0"-1.5" will grant access to more garages, considering S10 frame-body mounts.) [USER=9438]@ORVietVet[/USER], I cannot afford to buy any other vehicle presently. Can definitely afford to buy your Suburban 2500's torsion bars, though, if suspensionmaxx.com will sell them or the like. Do you know your Silverado's front torsion bar RPOs? (Your rear springs are leafs, which I can't learn much from.) If I knew of anyone with a Suburban 2500 locally, I'd go for a drive just to find out which front torsion bars it has. Do they all use the same front torsion bars? How do they feel? 'cause mine were way too soft for hauling all that grass. Also seriously considering 17" wheels & 265/70R17 XL tires for safety margin; my 255/70R18 did pretty ok, but not quite well until after I inflated them to 42psi cold. [/QUOTE]
