Umm, well I solved ALL of my 1/2 ton woes (power, soft rear suspension, etc). I bought a '10 2500 Suburban 4x4. Can't beat a factory 6.0 with 6spd auto and 3.73s.......Plus it has a leveling kit, 33s on 20" black Rockstars and is all blacked out, and someone left their Airraid intake on it too, suuuuhhhhweeetttt!
