[QUOTE="stutaeng, post: 24684, member: 6175"] I'm not sure what torsion bars my 2500 suburban has. Is there a part number or something stamped on it? I can check when I get back home tonight. 2070 lb sod is a "ton," literally. Not sure what your curb weight is, but google says around 5,262 lbs and a GVWR of 6,800 lbs, so that gives you a payload of 1,538 lbs, so you are over for sure. You can't increase the GVWR, that's what the factory rated the vehicle as a "system." I would simply make 2 trips, but that's just me. How much is the extra gas on 2 trips vs buying torsion bars and other suspension stuff? If this is for a larger project, just look for delivery service or rent a 3/4 ton truck. [/QUOTE]
