I have searched but did not find what I needed. Anyways, I have a 89 suburban lowered 5 in the front and 7 in the back. I used a Belltech kit with 2.5 droped spindls and 2" springs with 1/2" more cut to get the 5". I am using stock length gas shocks from Auto zone . The rear has adjustable air shocks . I like the feel of the rear , good and solid but not stiff and harsh. The front on the other hand is a little spongy and I noticed with the install of the new 30" tall tires it will bounce (one time) when I hit a good bump doing 35 or faster. When cruizin on the highway at around 70 mph the rear sticks to the road good but i can feel a more travel up and down in the front when hittin small dips on the highway.
SO, it obvious that I need a stiffer shock in the front but since I am getting a stiffer shock might as well get a good set. Looking through Jegs and Summit there are a few companies that make shocks with special valving. Edelbrock makes some that stiffen up on the highway and soften up and bumpy roads????
What are you guys using with bigger than stocks tires?
tires are 265/40/22's
Thanks
