I've seen several threads about putting 3/4 ton suspension under 1/2 ton BUT if I already have a 1997 3/4 ton K2500 Suburban that I use mostly for hunting, off-road, & forestry roads, is it possible to swap out the front torsion bars and the rear springs so I end up with a 1/2 ton ride? The 3/4 ton off road is rough enough to damage my teeth!
I've not had the chance to look to see if the spring perches are the same distance apart between 1/2 & 3/4 spring packs?
I've read that the torsion bars are the exact same size between 1/2, 3/4, & 1 ton trucks. My only concern is what spring weight would I want to get because we have a 454 in this suburban. (or would I use the 1/2 ton torsion bars and they simply get cranked down a bit more for the extra engine weight)?
