Do the 2500's have a solid front axle?
If there was a way to do it, I'd like a little beefier to handle the load, but still ride as nice as it does currently. Perhaps that isn't possible.
I thought about installing airbags to help with heavier loads, but it probably wouldn't be the same.
2500 Suburban's seem to be a bit more rare to find.

Yes, I currently have a 4x4.
That would make sense, because originally I had an 88 2WD, and it did seem to have a much nicer ride while driving. I just put some new shocks in so it's not too bad.
I suspect a 2500 the ride is going to be a bit more jarring than even my 1500. I'd like to get rid of the rear end sag while moving a heavy load. I think Airbags is probably what I'll look at doing.
Well at the moment I'm focused on my generation (91 Burb). I'd consider a newer one, but mine is working so well right now.
If the time comes and the engine dies, I would possibly consider swapping in a Vortec motor from a newer burb. Then the decision would be to use the 4l80E or the newer 4l60e. I suspect either selection with the new computer, might net me some better gas mileage. I'm not sure though.
As for the Airbags, I was definately thinking of them as addition in helper mode.
I don't haul heavy loads all the time, but it's nice to have the extra capacity when you need it.
. If I could make my 1500 into a "2000" or something with some mods, I'd probably be more than happy.

My '88 2WD burb rode real nice. My '91 4x4 had definately a more "buck-like" ride. I bought some new shocks for it, and it helped a little.
I think the alternative is to buy a 93+ or newer burban that is the next generation.
