Hi all, new to the forum, mostly for selfish purposes...but glad to join nonetheless.
My searches (granted, I'm not exactly web-savvy) have lead nowhere. I'm trying to find out if there are any people who have converted the standard late-80's leaf spring suspension for 4x4 suburbans to a coil-spring/linkage suspension, as that of Jeep's recent quadra-coil, or even a coil/air suspension.....something that eliminates the leaf springs altogether.
Any answers, links, or...if it hasn't been tried yet, anyone who has had the same idea with the means to do it, would be greatly appreciated!
I'd like to keep this thread progressive; Please refrain from denouncing the idea for liability/fiscal/diehard alumni reasons...unless you'd like to point out any engineering/design disadvantage viewpoints that I may try to deliniate.
