Have you ever wondered what a vehicle that could do EVERYTHING would look like? Camping, Rock crawling, overlanding, Road trips, Zombie Apocalypse, Costco? I think I found a truck that checks every box! This 1985 Chevy is anything but suburban! Very good fabrication = a square body that's unique on every level!

Suburbans are the most overlooked vehicle in off roading. This is a great build especially with the 6.2.

The suburban has been in my life for a good long time, and I've learned a ton through the course of building it. More importantly, it's taken my family and friends and me all over, and I've had the chance to meet some great folks, including the whole Trail to SEMA crew. - David at WM&F

While fearing for my life I jump so bad I tip my chair over. Flailing like a fish I'm trying to turn off the speakers, that miraculously decided to start working perfectly. I trip over the chair again to only yank the tower off the desk to have the entire verizon commercial still playing full blast. I stand up, calmly unplug the speakers, place the tower and mouse back on the desk, plug in the speakers and watch the rest of the video like nothing happened. Sweet Burb.

@@WillometMotorFab Thanks for the response. I prefer a tension shackle also, but it's nice to know your set up works. The reason I asked is because I have an 80s chevy 2x4 one ton tow truck that I'm converting to 4x4 + a lift. I need to keep weight capacity and the build has to not raise questions at random/constant CHP inspections. I think my rear lift will include 4x4 spring hangers, more leaves, and maybe a small lift block. Rather than highly arced springs, large blocks, or fancy/flexy suspension. I know a guy that tows over 30k with a 2nd gen 4x4 Ram and he designed his own air ride specifically for towing. The rear uses big rig air springs and a watts link. It's super clean and I would love to have him build me one, but I think it's not the best for my needs. I'm not sure air bags and off road is bueno and I'm not sure if CHP would allow that "modification".

How much did the build cost you? I'm trying to do this to my 88 suburban

Hey man, so I just finished my last two weeks of work and was getting ready to head back to GA from CO. While staying at a hotel for my last night in town. Someone stole my Jeep XJ, with close too 4k worth of gear, tools and guns. I don't know if you could use your platform to help me get more eyes looking for it I just figured I would ask. Thanks!

Why stick with leaf springs?

Dakota Ortiz Right now - Simplicity. These custom packs give a full 14” of travel at each end, though a front coil over setup is on the long term list. It’s hard to beat links and coil overs for ride quality and steering control. Everything on the truck is at a revision level, and when I wear these springs out, it will be time for a Rev4 suspension.
