Hi Guys,
I got a new to me 1994 GMC Suburban that the previous owner used for towing a camper . It is outfitted with Michilin 245/75/r16 load range E tires, Blistein shocks (24-020428) and timberlands ? I mainly use it for longer road trips (400+miles) and only tow a 18' alum boat on occasion but the ride is way to rough for me. I dropped the tire pressure down to 65lbs and it is a little better.
After reading a few post about rough riding suburbans My questions are :
1) Will running lower tire pressure at constant highway speeds cause a blow out ?
2) How low of pressure can I safely go with load range E tires and highway speeds ?
3) Are the shocks in the picture the ones people are using for heavy towing and would I gain much ride comfort by changing them ?
4) The bump stops have about 1" of clearance , Is this normal for a stock 94, suburban ?
Any advice on what I should do with this setup to improve ride quality is much appreciated.
Many Thanks,
