Now that i think of it, he might have bought them cause they were going discontinued and were cheap.

Yeah, Hotchkis discontinued the drop springs for our trucks. ********.

I ran the BellTech leafs on mine as part of my 5/8 drop. I probably put 100,000 miles on them. They rode fine. Not too soft. Not too firm.

Just curiouse was this on a scsb or a ecsb , I wonder how much different the ride would be with the additional weight of the ec .

Hey Jason, do you have a thread on your Suburban? I'm wanting to do some research on dropping SUV's and keeping or improving ride quality.

I bought it with 83,000 miles on it in 1996. It has 199,8xx on it now. It hit 199,000 well over a decade ago now.
