Renojack, please keep this thread updated as time goes by. Would you
also include the terrain conditions too? Inclines, cross winds, etc.
You are on the heavy side of the users so far and always good to have both ends,
light and heavy, along with the majority's middle info to compare
Weird that they didn't get back to you, but can't do much about that for now
Your TV weight is about where mine is...7.4K lbs with me (180) and the
misc/tool box (+250). Both big blocks, which is right up there with diesels.
Is your's a 4x4? The 4x4 Suburban's has the front bump stops touching all the
time and WD'ing over to that front axle has two spring systems working
Ron knows the new setup that the OEMs recommend best. I'm old school with even drop and
my GMT400 does NOT have the 4x4 front bump stop touching at all. I understand
that new setup to avoid over steering and the subsequent jack knifing 'potential'
Again, please post as it goes for both how the Andersen behaves and how this
double front spring system of GMT800/GMT900 4x4 Suburbans does.
Am seeing or my opinion is that the Andersen bushings has a lot to do with how
they tow vs the traditional WD systems and their steel springs. Bouncing and
porpoising seems to NOT be as prevalent with the Andersen and think the release
speed of the plastic bushings key to that
