Default Bravada rear suspension?

Can anyone tell me how much difference there is with the Olds Bravada rear suspension?
If you have pics, post them.

I dont think there is any as long as you are talking a 4dr blazer, the bravada may have slightly better shocks not positive on that part though. Also it may or may not have a sway bar.

there's no difference between the trucks, other than the skin job up front.

as for the sway bar, are you trying to tell us your truck doesn't have one portcqb? 'cause as far as i know, that's standard equipment.

Yep, no difference in design. Spring rates and shocks may be different depending on the options and the Bravada (depending on the year) also had an option for automatic ride height adjustment (load leveling) with air shocks in the back.

I thought the Bravada's had some sort of "upgraded" suspension that gave a softer ride? Or is that the optional air ride you speak of Kyle?

Spring rates and shocks would be all that they would mess with.

Default The reason I ask

I have read reviews saying how nice they ride. That and the Envoy reviews also.I think mine rides as good as a toy dump truck.

Yeah I had heard about the great ride too. I didn't know it would only have been minor adjustments though. Thanks for clearing that up Kyle
