What is the factory ride height specs for my truck.

1994 2500HD 8 lug Suburban
- No plow package
- 8900 LBS GVWR (i don't remember the exact number, I know there're 2 GVWR's for the 2500's and mine's the higher one)
- 6 pack leafs in the back
- 245-75-16 tires (i am not too too sure if that's a factory size as I have seen various opinions on 245-75 VS 235-85)

I am asking because I want to adjust my t-bar's back to standard ride height then add maybe 1 - 1.5 inches more up front. I am sure they've slumped down after 14 years of service on the truck. Adding another couple inches also to anticipate for me to change from 245-75-16 to 285-75-16 this summer.

I also need to know the back spec to see if my leafs have sagged over the years. I might either put in a new 6 pack or change to 7 or maybe 8 leaf spring pack. Ultimately I want to comfortably run 285's and add only maybe 1 - 1.5" of ride height to the truck.

Thanks,
Matt

Use the 99 C/K Truck "current" body style, as opposed to "new", for your truck body series, in its respective wheelbase. It should be accurate for most all GMT-400 trucks.
